One big problem with Trello at the moment is that it doesn't support multiple accounts (in the same way as Google do for example). I saw an interview somewhere claiming you use Trello for both personal and work stuff, and can't figure out how unless you use one account for both which is very bad practise. You could use different browsers but that is a pain. And even that solution wouldn't work on mobile where you wou…

I love Trello, and have been using it since it was first publicly available.

It was such a refreshing change from the Project -> To-Do List arrangement of, well, pretty much every web based project management software up until that point.

Thanks for the quick anwser. Any chance to have a download version anytime? I mean, a pay to download is totally acceptable. I'm asking this from a European points of view as Personal information could be stored into trello and Personal data protection laws in Europe are somehow different and more binding than the US ones.

I think I can confidently say that we will never offer that. The engineering costs are prohibitive and not cost-effective, even if you can charge the companies that need it. That said, if there are things that we can do to increase privacy while still hosting Trello on our own servers, we'll certainly consider those. I never want to commit to any particular feature, but it is not impossible that one day we will provi…

Fascinating reply. Thank you for that honesty and insight.

Yes, I was going to ask this too. Their tour page says "Trello is free, now and forever.". Call me a skeptic, but I don't see that holding true unless they have some money to keep it running.

It's created by Fog Creek and I believe their other products bring in enough money to keep Trello free.

That leaves no incentive to keep running Trello.

Completely off topic: That header image: Is it animated when window.onscroll() is fired? I find one reference in the code to e.addEventListener("scroll", v, !1) which I guess then fires the function v which does: v = function() { var t = parseInt(e.pageYOffset, 10); t = Math.min(u, t), t !== d && (d = t, t > 0 ? f(t * m, 1) : f(t / -6, -1 * t / u + 1), t >= u - 35 ? s(p, E) : i(p, E)) Could someone point me to some u…

Also regarding the header... that background image is just fantastic. Is there a wallpaper version?

We are planning to release one very soon, stay (code)tuned!

We have been using Trello for about two months and it is amazing how even the non-technical users could now finally "visualize" the project life cycle. Trello is disarmingly simple and like (early) Twitter, does one thing and it does it really well. This leads to users invent all sorts of use cases for it (again like Twitter). Trello, if it becomes wildly popular, can finally pull companies from the "Gantt chart" min…

Trello is great, I feel it will greatly influence teams which require collaboration and status tracking.

But the way I see it, a lot of discipline with be required to 'update' it every now and then. Some thing that I felt will always be a problem with any process. Every time a process like this springs up, I get enthusiastic then the enthusiasm wears away.

So as far as I'm concerned I still feel nothing really beats managing project from a notebook. You can't really get any thing as flexible and a limitless creative tool called pen/pencil on any electronic device. And the ability to just express your ideas as they are on paper is unbeatable.

GTD was life changing. Kanban boards are not.

Hi, I’m the guy who wrote the code. Here’s a gist for you: https://gist.github.com/porada/5047435

That is awesome! I'll definitely absolutely butcher that code once I get some spare time :D

Our team was about to migrated to Trello from Asana, but somehow we kept using Asana. I've heard similar stories recently where Trello is not that useful for startups but excellent for large corporations. One can expect what could be there future business model. P.S We're team of 5 idiots looking for one more :)

Everyday I use Asana for a client, and every minute I'm using it I'm wishing it was Trello

Does anyone knows what is Trello business model? I always enjoy seeing "free forever" but, you know, only a few things really are free.

I use Trello and would love to see some basic stats. I've thought about writing something against the API that can output stats such as how long cards are staying in specific columns but I don't have the time to do it right atm.
