So this is Basecamp + Backpack, modernized and combined?
I actually thought 'Wave for Business' at first glance due to the the more free-form nature.

Re: Joel Spolsky Launches Trello - Organize Anything Together
#103Any 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.
Maybe - I think that the border around the lists is clear enough separation. I agree about the horizontal scrolling, that is why we have multiple queues per column on the whiteboard. If you have lists with only 2-3 items in them at a time (think WIP limit) then the bottom half of the screen is empty.

#104It definitely has all the trappings of a Fog Creek app:
- The overall UI: built by programmers who dabble in design
- A seven(!) minute video about how _simple_ it is to use. It's easy! Instead of just raising your hand, you mark a light on the corresponding tote board, which informs your manager that you need more information.
I hate to be contrarian, but there are many other apps out there that solve this problem much more succinctly. I'm not sure who thought a solution like this is needed.

#105A 7 minute video? That seems long...curious how many people who'd land on this page would watch it all. (I got through 56 seconds of it).
If you're really interested in introducing this into a working business, and have spent days researching the options a 7 minute summary (advert) like this is a gift.

#106Played around for a few minutes.. I didn't see a quick way to filter the view to only the non-archived cards that you (or any other single person) are a member of. If you start to build up tons of boards/cards, is there a way to quickly filter the view like this?
I expected this would show up when you clicked a person's avatar, but it didn't. Expected it would show something of a personal to-do list.

#107Can someone confirm a bug or let me know if it's just my browser? (Firefox/XP)
View back of a card in the first list. Choose Move.... Try to move it to a specific position (2nd, for example) on another list (in my case, the third/final list). For me, it just goes to the top of the list.
Edit: Tried to use this move method (rather than dragging) to shift something from List 3 to Position 3 on List 1. It shifted to Position 2 instead.

#108What kind of offline support do you foresee? I haven't tried using the iOS app yet...but I'm thinking of the use case where I've cached the current state of the board and want to check off/add things to the board while I'm on the subway, and have it sync automatically when I get back on. Possible, or are there too many moving parts for that to be implemented easily?

#109I don't like this, it's telling me to go upgrade my browser as punishment for having the wrong user agent. When I'm trying to have privacy.
My agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7
I'm using 6.0.2 browser, however.
It's a pretty common user agent: https://panopticlick.eff.org/index.php Eff does not provide the most common user agents list so I have no idea what's latest user agent to use. Many web statistic collectors also don't mention user agents.

In general, I think more work is needed if the numbers of everything (members, cards, etc) all scale to large numbers. I love the interface and would actually like to have this internally, but I worry that things would get out of hand quickly. I think board hierarchy (nest boards within boards) could go a ways towards making it better, but I'd have to play with it. They should try scaling up to large numbers of boards/cards (1000?) to which you are a participant and see if any of the concepts need tweaking.
