Does anyone know how this compares to, say, AgileZen? I have only superficially used both.
We use Trello.

#12Does anyone knows what is Trello business model? I always enjoy seeing "free forever" but, you know, only a few things really are free.
We plan to offer add-on and premium services that might be of use to people who are getting a lot of value out of Trello already. For example you could imagine that large corporations that already have Trello throughout their organization might be happy to pay for centralized administration utilities. (PS I'm the founder of Fog Creek, creator of Trello)
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.

At Teambox we have a comparable feature set (tasks for teams and files) and we moved to freemium about 2 years ago.
While the usual freemium math applies (most users are still free), our customer's response has been phenomenal and subscriptions are now a sustainable business.

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 provide IP whitelisting (so a given board is only available from approved IPs) or even client-side encryption. I should reiterate that neither of those features are in our near-term plans, but at least they are not completely out of the question. Having been in the downloaded software business for ten years, I can safely say though, that we are never doing that again.

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.

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 :)

By the way, are there any plans to integrate Mozilla Persona on your sites? I much prefer it to all the other alternatives, including OpenID.
Re: We use Trello.
#18We 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" mindset we borrowed from Manufacturing to a more collaborative model. Plus with all the cards being visible to everyone by default, the unproductive role-based access measures will be also rid off for good.

Our startup team migrated from Asana to Trello. The main problem with Asana was that it worked well write only - ie it was easy to get lots of stuff in there, but things never got (re)organized to reflect reality which was probably a side effect of things rarely got read. Trello makes it considerably easier to see what is going on and to rearrange.
(That all said, Asana may have updated their interface since we left.)

#20Completely 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 unminimized version of this code, I really like it?
