I see trello more like a super TODO list, not so much as a repository of knowledge !
Does anyone use it that way ?

Thanks, and good questions. Here's a first pass:
- Not yet: But I'm a big fan of Rich Hickey's thoughts on data and time if that gives any clues on where I'd like to take it (http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Value-Values)
- Search function is very light just a client side search of the titles, but if people want it we'll probably build a server side full text search
- We've been debating different tagging schemes and actually built one out already but decided not to include it in the MVP until we get more feedback (let us know hello@faqt.co)
- Not yet, but we do want to build at least a minimal export functionality to give everyone peace of mind
- No API plans
- It's something we have to feel out, but it's followed closely my own use case where I need to store some information that I constantly refer to; self hosted is a thought but that automatically rules out most casual users. We'll see...

#24You really need a demo on the homepage.
For ex: you should remove the need to signup to use it first, let them create a FAQ, then signup to save it to a particular account.

Evernote, DEVONthink, and Google Docs are the big players.
There's also: http://are.na/, http://pinterest.com, http://www.dropmark.com/, https://kippt.com/, https://pinboard.in/, Wordpress or Tumblr (with the right theme) and there are 5+ more projects in this space announced over the past year of which I was aware at one time, but sadly I lost track of the list.
Not to mention, http://etherpad.org/ / http://piratepad.net, https://hackpad.com/, http://notepad.cc/, http://socrates.io/, http://quip.com, http://simplenote.com/, https://www.penflip.com/, http://snippi.com/ and the like share similar features.

#29How can something which is _personal_ and supposed to be _lightweigth_ a web site? Do i understand right that my data is hosted on their servers? Oh well...
I think a web site is totally okay for this kind of application. Nowadays, I have always a browser open.
But a self-hosted version, for people whom privacy is important, would be great. Are there any self-hosted alternatives? Especially with a nice markdown editor...

I wrote a self-hosted tool that fills this need for me. Been using it since 2008. Content is written in markdown, though it doesn't have a fancy editor. Supports tagging and searching too. Since you mentioned self-hosted, I thought you might be interested.
