Amazing! I'm starting to use it today, most todo/list/project apps suck, this looks really good -- so far =:)

The only thing I don't like is that there is instantly a member added to the first board "Trello" - which makes me wonder if somebody is looking at everything I post on the board -- and makes it seem less private/thrust worthy.

Sniffing around the source, looks like a Backbone.js app -- cheers. I'd love to add it to the homepage as an example, if you want to email me a brief paragraph of description. Edit For those poking around, check out the top-level "Models" namespace.

Node, Backbone, CoffeeScript and MongoDB

Interestingly doesn't work in IE8...

Only found out because I wanted to view the source and it failed in Chrome so tried IE (turned out view source failed because of the load on the server atm).

Joel, btw, the favicon's missing, it's explicitly referenced in the source but returns a 404.

EDIT: Forgot to say like the look of it, good job.

It's funny how the tiniest moments can really give you a glimpse of the type of person someone is. For instance, in that demo video, at the end when Angella Kim makes the reference to Jello (in the heat of the moment) was one of those moments that makes me want to just give her a hug and put her in my pocket. Also, this product looks good. I am wondering though, what will this cost and how will I be charged. I hate t…

Angela was just as nice in person as she appears to be in the video.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

apply labels by hovering over a card and hitting a number key

Cool, but if it ain't documented, it don't exist. (I guess now it's documented in this HN comment. :-))

Voting is actually a kind of "test of concept" of the idea of Trello Plugins which enhance Trello boards in interesting ways that not everyone necessarily uses

If it's a plugin, can I disable it? In a team of 3 developers, this makes no sense.

Edit You CAN disable voting by going to Preferences under the main board menu.

(Disregard the following.)

Currently, no, because it's kind of a half plugin.

You can ignore it, though, nothing really changes if someone happens to vote on something. But internally, we've already found it quite useful for things like helping decide a name of a new project and voting on features.

I think #2 problem was related to this by looking at your comment timing: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2993983

#2 occurred 15 minutes ago. Not necessarily related to that issue, but possibly another quirk. Related: Is there a way to delete boards, or just to close them? I now have two junk boards (the original duplicate, and an empty board I just created to test) and I can imagine that list can get full pretty quick.

Close == Delete (kind of, in that it will do what you want but you can undo it later if you really need to)

Originally posted this on the announcement blogpost, but my comment is still awaiting moderation, and joel is posting here. :-) Several major +1s: 1) Use of Google login, with ability to set a password to log in without that. I LOVE this, and it fits with what Joel (and Jeff Atwood) have been proselytizing for a while about the use of OpenID. 2) Awesome, responsive UI. Also a few -1s: 1) No indication about pricing p…
