I wondered the same thing. My reasoning is it forces you to keep your categories simple, which makes looking at the cards on the board easier.
If using lots of labels became the way things were done in Trello, it wouldn't have been so simple. The best thing about Trello in my eyes is your ability to refer it as a tool to colleagues. Many many times they would come back thanking me because Trello was what they were looking for.
- TheOtherHobbes 12y agoI tried Trello and didn't get it. Now I'm wondering if I'm the only person on the planet for whom it didn't work. But still - I have a lot of ideas and projects that need organising, and Trello just didn't happen for me. Good on JS for another successful launch though.
- mhp 12y agoDid you use it with other people? While it can work on an individual level (i.e. where you are just making boards for yourself), that isn't really what it was designed for. I wouldn't put it in the same group of tools as personal productivity software. While you can use it for yourself, it really shines when you have a group of people trying to collaborate and share information. It's especially useful for viewers (i.e. not people writing things in Trello, but people watching others update info and tracking the progress of something).
