Looks similar to Jira's GreenHopper (http://www.atlassian.com/software/greenhopper/), each tracker issue is one card, and you can see what's in progress, todos and what has been done.

#172Damn this is pretty similar to the direction my app Wallboardr is taking, except status columns aren't customisable yet. Any thoughts on comparison folks? http://wallboardr.com
Allow sign up with Google account.
You're absolutely right. Only 2.7% sign-up rate from this thread and I'm sure Google account login would have made a big difference.

#173Oh you US people, I get internal server error when I try to activate account which contains ä character in the full name field...
And when trying to change my name from the account page: Display Name can only contain letters, numbers, spaces, or the following characters: -_'.@+
Does this affect the Google account login also, it doesn't work for me either.

If you end up open sourcing it, let me know, I'd be interested in helping out.
Oh, thanks for the offer! That's a difficult decision, I was hoping to capitalise on it commercially soon as a subscription service.
But very interesting to hear that there would be interest in an open source version. Hmm....
Re: Joel Spolsky Launches Trello - Organize Anything Together
#175So I honestly don't get it. Is this a poor mans bug tracker? A possible re-invention of a bug tracker? (something wacky and different version of a bug tracker to see if it sticks?) I have seen people mention project management a bunch, but the view really isn't about viewing what people are doing. In fact items that don't have people assigned to them still show up. The 10 foot view isn't even that good as they all sq…
In my view this looks like a great tool for agile workflow. A replacement for the board with sticky notes.
regarding the scale ... most if not all bug-trackers become a junk yard of bug reports. thousands of them. most never get fixed. lots never get looked at. This tool lets you store things that you are going to do in the near future. And the rest... lets deal with it when we get there. I think if you can't remember it a month from now, it probably not important.
In any real project you can never deal with all the bugs and reports. so you usually deal with the most serious ones and the ones that get reported most often. the important ones go on todo right away, and the often reported ones do not need another place for them. people will keep reporting until you deal ;)
so this tool is effectively lets you plan your activities in the short and medium term. once you get to the 'next year' you will have other priorities and new things to do. there is no need to plan it now.
Im definitely going to try it. Currently we mostly work with Pivotal Tracker and also trying out Trajectory from Thoughtbot. It looks like Trello might be a decent contender in the space.

#176Sniffing 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
what framework(s) on the node side?

#177Would give a tough competition to 37Signals guys.

Internal server error on the confirm link, and my full name has an "é" in it, so I guess it's the same issue. Also, log in with Google Account does nothing / doesn't work either.
You really don't wanna let me in, do you? :)
Re: Joel Spolsky Launches Trello - Organize Anything Together
#179"vote" is a little weird... Everything about this is pretty intuitive except for that. It's only mentioned once on the summary/info page and in the welcome board after signup there should be a card that explains what voting is supposed to be, exactly. (besides just the ubiquitous like equivalent) I get the impression this started out with "voting" more prominent than it is now. But otherwise, this is really pretty ne…
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
Its cool that you can have a public board with public comments. But it would be even cooler to have a finer grained control over who can do what. i.e. have a board with some of the lists public read-only, others private, others read-write so anyone can edit, and public append-only, for things like bug reports etc.

#180Earlier quoted context omitted.
Node, Backbone, CoffeeScript and MongoDB
Any reason you didn't use Socket.io? I noticed you're polling the server every few seconds for updates.
We do. Its hard to list every framework/library in there, so they're not all mentioned. Look for a future technical blog post that goes into more detail on what we used.
