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 ap…

One of the devs whipped the iPhone app up in essentially 2 weeks after some of our earlier plans with a contractor fell through. It was literally meant to be there on launch read-only. We know it's got a ways to go, but given the time constraints it was the best we could do (IMHO it was better than anything I thought we'd be able to do... Justin really cranked on it)

Does this integrate with fogbugz and/or kiln?

Minimally for now - a FogBugz link in a comment will show a little kiwi icon on the front of the card, which you can click to follow that link. The planned API will likely lead to a plugin.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

apply labels by hovering over a card and hitting a number key

Cool, but if it ain't documented, it don't exist. (I guess now it's documented in this HN comment. :-))

If you click the manual icon in the menu, you can get to a list of the keyboard shortcuts. Direct link: https://trello.com/shortcuts

It's funny how the tiniest moments can really give you a glimpse of the type of person someone is. For instance, in that demo video, at the end when Angella Kim makes the reference to Jello (in the heat of the moment) was one of those moments that makes me want to just give her a hug and put her in my pocket. Also, this product looks good. I am wondering though, what will this cost and how will I be charged. I hate t…

According to the blog post (http://blog.trello.com/launch/), "It’s free. (We might charge something for premium features in the future). You can make one board or 100."

TCP queue connection problems. We had a load balancer configuration issue. We're watching closely.

Thanks. Back up now and looks great.

Down again, from the youtube video I saw and the blogpost, it looks fantastic.

Originally posted this on the announcement blogpost, but my comment is still awaiting moderation, and joel is posting here. :-) Several major +1s: 1) Use of Google login, with ability to set a password to log in without that. I LOVE this, and it fits with what Joel (and Jeff Atwood) have been proselytizing for a while about the use of OpenID. 2) Awesome, responsive UI. Also a few -1s: 1) No indication about pricing p…

What do the colored squares over my avatar mean?

Great app and highly intuitive.

The home page clearly explain what the software does, the signup process is really simple and straightforward, and it's free.

Once you get inside, you have a fake board which is there to help you get started.. It took me 2 minutes to try and understand how everything worked. No magic, no complicated features.. really simple and intuitive.

I love the "reverse of a card" concept, the small animations when you drag a card, how you can easily "add people" to cards, how an avatar is automatically generated for you (With your first letter and a small icon), and more importantly, how there're just a few well-done features instead of a thousand of useless and over complicated stuff.

Furthurmore, it seems that the app introduce the concept of plugins where anyone could potentially incorporate only the features they want.

Overall, 10/10, great app!
