#183I like Trello, I use it often. $450M... for a todo list. Yes, I use it. Yes, I think is useful. Yes, I think this valuation is absolutely crazy.
"I like Facebook, I use it often. $365B... for a message board. Yes, I use it. Yes, I think it is useful. Yes, I think this valuation is absolutely crazy." Not many todo lists have millions of users, including some that pay actual money for the service. Having looked at many project management tools, Trello has absolutely nailed certain aspects of the user experience that many of the others get wrong. Try pasting an…
Not quite the same right? FB is way more than a message board. And even back then when they were just a MB, they had millions of users in no-time.

#185Some of Atlassian's previous acquisitions have turned into products mostly shunned by the developer community (Hipchat, Bitbucket) - I hope they've learned what went wrong since then, but my gut says Atlassian isn't very good at integrating external teams and supporting their products. Hopefully Trello won't go down the same path.
Who is shunning Bitbucket and why? Something happened that I missed?
It never comes up in the same breath as GitHub and GitLab. The major differentiator for Bitbucket that's the primary reason many people I know have Bitbucket accounts - that they offered free unlimited private repos when nobody else did - doesn't differentiate them anymore.

Whilst not as well produced as Trello, https://kanboard.net/ is self hostable.
If we're going for OS Trello clones, Wekan [1] is another choice. [1] https://wekan.io/
Wekan looks pretty usable - thanks. And bonus points for the easily-accessible demo.

#187I'm a big fan of Trello but I dread using Atlassian products. I do not have a good feeling about this. Hopefully Atlassian can learn from what makes Trello so wonderful instead of JIRA-ifying it into oblivion.
Funny how much opinions can differ. I've used them both professionally and I think Trello scales poorly above 5-10 people while Jira is the least-worst option for running a project at any team size.
As someone who frequently works on teams of 10 or less this is exactly what I'm worried about. Trello is a great tool for our needs. I've been in bigger orgs that used JIRA and understand why that made sense, but I'd resent having to use it on a small team.

I don't disagree with this, but very small teams (or sometimes just myself) is exactly what I use Trello for. We use it at home for shared to-do lists, idea boards (way better than Pinterest for us), etc. I realize this doesn't make them much money, but I hope they don't ruin that use case because I haven't found anything I like as well.

it becomes more important when you use this for code-review. Then reach diffs makes more sense. Once you start using them you don't want to go back :)
I do use diffs for code review. I simply use a much, much better native tool instead of a crappy web tool.
I'm sure guys who have paid for the enterprise version of BitBucket would rather not have to pay $60 for every developer for BeyondCompare on top of what they pay for BitBucket
