I entirely lost access to a YouTube account with videos totalling several million views because I apparently pressed a wrong button during that transition. Nothing to be done though. Google is a big fish.
:(, yeah. I had a friend who even talked to the youtube team about it, didnt have much hope.

On other browsers too but that’s hacky.
I don't really think it's hacky. For many years I would run 2 browsers side by side. Firefox for personal and Chrome for Business. It makes a nice separation and you don't need to worry about whether some tool you like to use has fancy multiple account tech. If the big guys like Google and Facebook can't get it right, I think it's unreasonable to expect smaller players to do better. You never need to think about who…
I've always wanted to like Trello, but i'm never sure quite how or what to use it for. It doesn't work well for me for project management, since you can't create tasks with due dates or assignees. I'm not sure how folks get around that. edit: I was thinking of checklists, not cards.
I think of Trello these days like an orchard of ideas. I plant a few idea seeds by rapidly sketching out cards, and some will grow checklists as I copy paste bullets from notes etc. As the checklist items grow in complexity, they fall off the tree and are planted, and so on..
If you're a PMP used to Gantt charts and such, I'm sure that system sounds like some hippy dippy BS, but it works very well on a small scale with a small, mixed-discipline team.
Trello: if you'd let me buy you once, install you locally, and save my data locally and in an open format, like Day One, I'd be a lifer. Fantastic program otherwise, though I remain an Org man.

We also have some additional info and insight on Trello's tech stack: http://stackshare.io/trello/trello
Where does that data come from? It's significantly out of date. I guess because the tech stack blog post is so old?

My wording was poor, and Google certainly don't get them perfect. It does fundamentally work though - you can connect multiple users in web and mobile apps and switch between them as you see fit. Sometimes it does select the wrong account for whatever you were trying do (calendar used to do this a lot), but you can usually just switch to the correct account. My main frustration is services that don't even get close t…
I would argue that Google's account system is extremely poor. What it considers your primary account is apparently the first one you add, so if the order is wrong, you have to sign out of all of them and start over [1]. But it's not exactly like that. Recently someone added me to a new Google Apps for Work (or whatever it's called this month) account, and now this new account is, mysteriously, the default account, ev…

You absolutely can create a card, assign a user to it, and give it a due date... I'm pretty sure that functionality has been there for a while.
Still, I don't think I want to use Trello on my projects (I use it in some projects for customers). I can't articulate well the reasons but the general feeling is that if the project is not trivial you start having too many cards and the columns get too long and you start losing stuff. It's not for long living projects, where you need to store information that let you tell who decided what and why two years ago. It's better suited for short bursts of activity and to dispatch tasks to executors. Probably one project manager to assign tasks and developers to report on their accomplishment. It could be a good tool for that.
As an example of what it shouldn't be used for: bug tracking. We are creating cards for bugs on a project but Trello cards are not well suited for that, neither to input bug reports nor for managing them. To be fair, I bet that Trello didn't design for this use case. That someone is using it for this maybe means that it's appreciated beyond its limits.

Chrome profiles are the right tool for this. Just have a separate profile for work and for home. This has the added benefit of making it easy to stay logged out of time-wasting sites while at work.
Ah, you don't have one of those mobile device thingies that are all the rage then? If you install the Trello app, then you can only have one user logged in at a time.
- use different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera).
- or use different users (feature introduced in Android 5.0).
Less than ideal (e.g. opening link) but can be useful sometimes.
On iPhone maybe iOS Chrome and Safari Mobile have different cookies so can have different users?
