   Simple and visual, but hits a wall on bigger projects

   We've been using Trello for about a year to keep our team tasks in order. Getting started was honestly a breeze - the kanban board is super intuitive and everyone got it within minutes. Moving cards around, adding checklists, and dropping files into cards just feels natural. But as our projects got more complex, we started bumping into limits pretty fast. There's no real sprint planning out of the box, reporting is basically nonexistent, and the free plan's 10-board limit sneaks up on you. We ended up paying for stuff that feels like it should be included. Still, for visual task tracking and small-to-mid workflows it's hard to beat.

   Competitors: Asana, monday.com, Notion, Jira

   Pros:    Dead simple to learn - team was onboard in literally 10 minutes|Kanban boards are genuinely satisfying to use, very visual|Power-ups add decent flexibility when you need extra features

   Cons:    Gets outgrown quickly once projects get complex|No built-in reporting, burndown charts, or real project analytics|Free plan is pretty restrictive with the 10-board cap

   Trello: Simple, Visual, and Surprisingly Powerful

   Trello makes project management feel effortless. Its board-and-card setup is intuitive, letting you organize tasks and track progress with just a glance. The free plan is generous, and Power-Ups add extra muscle when your projects grow. While it’s not loaded with advanced features like some competitors, its simplicity and flexibility make it a go-to tool for teams and individuals alike.

   Competitors: Jira

   Pros:    Super easy to use|Great for collaboration|Flexible with power-ups

   Cons:    Limited advanced features|Can get cluttered|Some features locked behind paid plans

   A handy tool for planning

   Trello excels as a task planning tool, and I appreciate its user-friendly interface, especially when using it on a smartphone. Its mobile app is incredibly convenient, allowing me to stay organized and connected on the go. I appreciate how it streamlines collaboration without unnecessary complexities.

• Bridge the gap: Connecting design, PM and code with MCPs

  Our world has more Todo lists than anyone could count, however, my ready-to-go solution is still Trello when it's time to track my tasks. It's easy to use, colorful, simple and user-friendly without being bloated. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• I ❤️ Offline

  The weird thing is that we accepted online-first or even online-only note taking apps. I used to be a huge fan of Trello and later Notion, but their online-first nature ended up getting in the way. Nowadays I just use a very simple system of templated Markdown files. I'm even considering trying out Org-mode (outside emacs, I'm a vim type of guy). - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• [Circle CI] How can i block merging in github until successful deployment check

  I can tell you how my product (sleuth.io) does it. If it detects a push to master that isn't deployed, it adds a PR/commit status check of red to every open PR. Then at the end of the deployment and optionally after a final check, it reports the commit as deployed, which then triggers code that adds a PR/commit status check of green to every open PR.

• How do you measure DORA Metrics

  For starters, there a number of tools such as Sleuth (disclaimer: am co-founder) that will measure the metrics for you. There are also open source options like Four Keys and many vendors like Gitlab also provide some or all metrics as well, though make sure they are measuring things as you expect.

• Measuring DORA key metrics

  Sleuth co-founder here. My dev team uses our own tool to track DORA metrics, and I've found there are some things the metrics are great for, and others that don't really pan out. I made a video it, but the tl;dr; is metrics themselves don't do anything, but can be useful to track progress of an existing initiative, keeping performance as you scale, or alerting on outliers.
