Its really nice. I am liking it better than PivotalTracker. Except Pivotal had that whole velocity thing.

This is really great, I like that the board is basically set to a kanban when you start. A api would be really cool so I could sync my github issues.

The idea of "flipping" the card over so you can see lots of details fixes my main beef with Pivotal Tracker: everything is so tiny (seriously, attach a screen shot and try to look at it) and you only get a certain amount of space for comments.

This looks like you could have a real discussion on the back of the card.

Great use of node.js for a realtime app. :P We currently use interstateapp, but will give trello a whirl.

Damn this is pretty similar to the direction my app Wallboardr is taking, except status columns aren't customisable yet.

Any thoughts on comparison folks? http://wallboardr.com

So this is Basecamp + Backpack, modernized and combined?
