"vote" is a little weird... Everything about this is pretty intuitive except for that. It's only mentioned once on the summary/info page and in the welcome board after signup there should be a card that explains what voting is supposed to be, exactly. (besides just the ubiquitous like equivalent)

I get the impression this started out with "voting" more prominent than it is now.

But otherwise, this is really pretty neat. One of the first hosted solutions I've been interested in since I got tired of basecamp.

would be nice if you could purchase an installable paid version for internal company use. It looks like a step up from pivotal tracker

playing with an account now, the drop and drop has a nice little effect on it. Promising!

So I guess with the top navigation bar of Fogcreek.com having lots of available space, we can expect to see a lot of new offerings from Joel and company?

Voting is actually a kind of "test of concept" of the idea of Trello Plugins which enhance Trello boards in interesting ways that not everyone necessarily uses

"...It’s just a list of lists, really."

Almost like Workflowy on steroids.

Does this integrate with fogbugz and/or kiln?

Anything that reduces the likelihood that I'll have to work on a project with Mingle is good news to me.

Looks pretty awesome in my 5 min trial. Back of the card is very well done.

This will could go way beyond the software crowd to a general organization app..I just hope this thing scales well and they clarify their upload limits and such.

Edit 1: I tried their iPhone app and it's very far from their web interface - took me 6-7 clicks just to get to a checklist for one of the items. It's commendable that they have a app on launch though so I am sure they will work out the app interface with time - currently it's an order of magnitude less usable than their webapp.

Feature request: reorder boards. I'd like to use this to manage our software project, and I can imagine a ltr task progression, but then boards have to be features.

We have the hosted versions of both and I've heard more than once "I can't believe they(fogcreek) doesn't do something in project management because most of the current solutions suck."
