IE8 only, no internet / cell access at work... I'm from the DC area and all of my friends that have these issues work for "the government".

I really look forward to a time where "the government" doesn't mean IE8 only. I've been bit by this myself, at the state level.

"The government" doesn't mean that. My wife works for the DOI and their entire bureau uses Chrome and their government email and other services are managed through Google Apps, her cubical contains a typical locked-down Windows PC and a Red Hat workstation, the workstation runs Chrome and FF which are only as behind the curve as far as the stable releases are. I knew some guys who worked for NOAA as contractors who said they were pretty modernized as an agency too (running modern web servers on Python, vs the gigantic legacy J2EE apps I maintained during my stint as a government contractor).

I really like trello. Something about it feels so natural. I like it a heap better than jira + agile plugin. I do like pivitol tracker too, but trello can do more.

At my last place we used Trello from the day it came out (and had used fogbugz for years). At my current place we use jira + agile. I do prefer Trello for high level stuff, but I think jira does a good job of handling both high level and low level tracking in the same app. Their agile stuff seems to be getting better too.

I'm glad to see Trello is going so well. It's a great product and a great example of not having to build something that covers every possible use case.

Great Service. Recently, however, we moved to basecamp because of the calendaring features.

If you need more vertical stuff then check out Breeze ( http://letsbreeze.com ), it's Basecamp and Trello mashup. Plus it adds calendar, time tracking, budgeting and reporting.

We launched BoardTrail, a very cool time tracking app for Trello board, it monitors the duration of cards in the Doing list. Check it out - http://www.boardtrail.com

My biggest problem with Trello is that they don't support multiple identities. I use it for work and have also created a personal account. What I would expect is a nice dropdown to switch identities (eg like you get with Google or Github). The mobile apps also only have one identity.

A work around is in theory to keep logging out and back in again as the different users, but this is extremely tedious and in my case completely impractical as I don't know my passwords (stored in a password manager).

On one of Joel's posts it was clear he used Trello for work and for personal activity, but didn't state how that was achieved.

I've created multiple boards. Right now I'm at three: one for my personal life, one for my public work life (i.e. shared with colleagues), and one for my private work life that has my own to-dos, lists, etc. Then you use the board dropdown similar to what you wanted for users.

Fair enough, there are plenty of organizations both inside and outside the government that have sane technology standards that contradict my cheap generalizations.

I could never adapt. I didn't like the way one deals with older items. Care to tell us how you use it?

I think he is saying he's a Trello developer.

Sorry for the confusion - did I meantion I found Trello greatly executed? :)

That announcement page was buggy for men on Ubuntu Chrome. The page loaded and I saw the text letter but the smaller "title" card was overlayed on top of the letter but was mirrored left to right so you couldn't read it. Looks good on OSX chrome though!

Worked ok for me - windows chrome

I'm impressed Trello has managed to succeed in what many had written off as overcrowded space. I think the key to its success is the insight that Joel Spolsky explains in his post here: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2012/01/06.html - that successful apps often provide a new kind of data structure, that makes them suitable for many purposes. (For Trello, that's a "list of lists".) Fog Creek Employees: can anyone…
