Get more done without distractions: Ditch "productivity" software and just use a calendar and a list of monthly, yearly goals. It doesn't require a browser and 2+ GB of memory! It won't shutdown one day, and the best part is there's no ads... notifications... stickers... emojis... easter eggs... or whatever else is considered "productive" these days.

#42I live in a web browser day to day. I'm constantly in and out of Teamwork, Harvest, Google Drive, Slack, Google Analytics etc etc. Trello is also a core part of our workflow (we're custom software developers) and so Cmd/Ctrl + T to open a new tab and type in "tre"... to load Trello is basically muscle memory at this point. All of that is to say, what's the need for a "native" app? I say "native" because it's Electron…
One use case would be to be able to have everything available offline. I don't know if this is supported with this app though, but the main reason Trello is not my main goto software for personal management is that one.

I also live in the browser and prefer everything to be in it, but I do know plenty of people who prefer their desktop apps, especially some windows users.
Some of us Windows users want our apps to be native, otherwise I might just as well use the browser.

No it uses Electron which is basically a wrapper for web apps. So no offline mode.

Yeah, extremely disappointed in this. I’ve been a heavy Trello advocate since it launched, but the lack of real native clients puts a pretty low ceiling on it’s usefulness at scale. Atlassian has plenty of native developers on their team, not sure why they would take this route...
A true native client would be a lot of work. Maintain feature parity without adding new features. Identical UI including all the quirks. Is having a native app going to gain them any users? Maybe for user who can't have a browser installed, but they might not be able to have an internet connection either...
I get that, and I understand why they used Electron. But given Electron in this instance is basically a browser for Trello for all intents and purposes I don't see the point of it.

I'm slowly shifting from your opinion to a general distrust of user configured browsers for providing a UI to "sensitive"(authed, billing) APIs.

Useful for alt-tab.
You can just drag out the tab to popup another window to get a working alt-tab flow
I'm on Gnome, different windows of the same application get grouped together. Useful to have the different logo, and separate from the browser.
No reason this has to require an electron wrapper, you could do it with the 'save to desktop' options, not sure whether any browser actually offers it yet though.

#49I haven't had a chance to download it yet, but my suspicion says it's probably an Electron application. What do you all feel about this practice of taking long-lived web applications and getting them out of a tab and into a desktop shell with a place on the dock/task bar and the ability to Atl/Control-Tab?
