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.

Thanks! Here's the pitch. Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards. The site was built ground up using backbone.js for all models, views, and routes.

Thanks for this! Any chance you'd consider writing a full blog post later down the line about your experience with this stack? I'm working on a node/backbone/mongdb (I don't grok coffeescript) app at the moment, and any real world apps and write ups just make my day : ) By the way, GREAT app, definitely had one of those "didn't know I wanted it 'til I saw it" moments watching the video.

Any plans for adding multiple lists per column (two at 50% height, etc)? That would be the only thing I can do on our current Kanban board that I couldn't do on Trello. I really like the app though, it's like a distilled, get out of the way version of Jira.

That would break the usability. Right now you know that horizontal axis = lists, vertical = items in lists. The only thing that I don't like is horizontal scrolling.
