I was pretty skeptical after my hate-hate affair with FogBugz but Trello's design, marketing and OOBE are far and away the best in the category. I need to use it more but it just doesn't have whatever Pivotal has that scares away non-devs at first glance. Joel, this is definitely my favorite Fog Creek product yet.

Some very interesting interaction design work too. Can I ask who did it?

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

Pretty sure this feature is in the online help, along with lots of other cool tricks

Not directly related to this string of comments, but as far as providing feedback... How can I do this? I don't see an obvious place to provide feedback.

Markdown code blocks don't seem to be working. (You can't put 4 spaces before code, but backticks work)

Trello does use Socket.io. If your browser supports websockets it will use them, but it will transparently fall back to polling if necessary.

I user Chrome 14 and updates take over 5 secs to be synced across different tabs. Some kind of a bug or the backend app polls the db regularly to push new messages ?

We're scaling back a little to handle the usage spike from the initial launch, so some users will get polling even if their browsers support websockets. As the load stabilizes, we'll be switching them back on and you should see performance improve quite a bit.

#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)

How do I undo a close board?
