It 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 m…

"...but there are many other apps out there that solve this problem much more succinctly." Links please.

What Trello accomplishes could also be accomplished in Campfire without needing to keep a browser window open. There's also Yammer, to some degree.

Obviously Trello's approach is different, but my point was there are other apps that have simpler approaches to the same problem.

So this is Basecamp + Backpack, modernized and combined?

From what I can see it's a lot simpler than Basecamp - it seems to be great for a single view if lots of small things rather than managing the detail of larger things (if that makes sense).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

what framework(s) on the node side?

Express, Async, Mongoose, Redis, Socket.io, CoffeeScript, Less, and Underscore, off the top of my head. We also use Node Inspector during development; that's a great little tool.

Really awesome. I'm using the same libraries right now in my own app and struggling hugely with Backbone. Would love to see some of the posts someone referenced a few posts up to explain how you fit it all together.

Python sucks at unicode, maybe they used python, not sure though.

Off topic: Proper, consistent and through UTF-8 support is one of the various reasons I'm starting to prefer Go to Pytho. It is sad that Python 3 didn't take the opportunity to properly fix this.

I thought Python3 sort-of did fix it, by forcing strings to be (abstractly) unicode and force you to explicit convert them to bytes with whichever codec you want (e.g. utf-8) when you need to.

What are you missing?

Seems like a simple Kanban ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban ) board. I'm not sure why this is new, there are a lot of options for Kanban out there.

a) its free b) its free :D

Most of the kanban boards out there worth their salt cost some serious pennies if scaled to a large team!

plus... as far as I know Trello doesn't have the functionality for WIP Limits

This board also integrates nicely with GoogleApps, if it has integration with tfs (not sure if it does) then it would stand a good chance of owning a piece of the PM scene in .net land
