I've been pushing for trello over the much slower, less intuitive sprint.ly. the main hangup is the lack of a daily digest report. anyone have a solution?
The other alternative is to use the API, which is full read/write: trello.com/docs

what's wrong with providing that number? I think number of sign-ups is pretty much useless metric. even dead MySpace keeps increasing their sign-ups. It doesn't mean they are doing well. To be honest, I would be really really interested how many active users Trello has. It would be great service to startup community to see what is conversion rate out there for bigger services like Trello. Evernote is very public with…
I work on Kiln, not Trello, and I don't feel comfortable ripping numbers off their dashboard and posting them onto HN. Simple as that. For all I know, they plan on announcing those numbers themselves soon, and I don't want to get in their way.
Also, we hope that Trello can make an official statement about this soon, and we look forward to their data!

Have you considered the Trello apps for smartphones and tablets as an alternative?
The iOS app still requires an internet connection to sync anything.
I've just started using it but now that it has 1M users I'm a little apprehensive for the usual reasons: no easy way to export or access offline, and no idea of whether there are any monetization plans on the horizon. It could be another way to get lost in the cloud.
I don't know what I can say to ease your worries about monetization. Its definitely something we're working on. That said, Fog Creek is an established company with steady cash flow, so we're not just going to disappear.

Well yeah, but if you've got an iPhone, chances are you have a cell connection. If he can't access the internet, even over the cell network, I'd be curious to know what kind of environment he's working in.

I love Trello, but cannot commit to using it more for business until I have an expectation of service, which comes from paying for it. They're awesome, but they owe me nothing, and that's just too risky.
You know, I've had a fair number of services that I'm paying for just vanish out from under me, too (e.g., eWorld, iTools, Grove.io, the original Siri). Sometimes the wind-down is longer, sometime it isn't. And, conversely, some things I don't pay for have been around for a very, very long time (Freenode, Gmail, my old Fidonet BBS, etc.). Maybe paid sticks around longer on average, but I think paid-v.-free is a bad l…
I hadn't even noticed the export features and now that I've taken I look a lot of my concerns seem much less important. Thanks!
Still trying to figure out how to effectively use the "due date" feature though. When a card's checklist is complete it still shows as past due. Not a dealbreaker at all though, we'll figure out how to make it work.
That's the power of making something that's fun to use.
