   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.

• Ask HN: Dear Product Managers – How do you use LLM's in your day to day work?

  Tools like Userdoc (https://userdoc.fyi) help in a few ways, you can easily create requirements (stories, personas, journeys, test cases), but also reverse engineer existing source code into detailed docs, then ask natural language questions etc. AI helps us plan our product in Userdoc, and our devs connect via MCP to bring those requirements directly in to Cursor (full disclaimer, I work at Userdoc - but we eat... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  I'm interested to hear how other people are using tools to help them, we've been playing with userdoc.fyi and having good success, but there are just so many AI related tools I feel like I can't keep up! Source: about 3 years ago

• Requirements

  Great read, I spent years thinking requirements should live somewhere like Jira, and I feel for many teams this is the case. But as the author mentions, Jira contains tasks related to bugs, text changes, colour changes etc.. These are not product requirements per se. Like the author, I came to the conclusion requirements are best kept in a requirements management system, that integrates with your project... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

  I built Userdoc (https://userdoc.fyi) a requirements management system for software projects.

• 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
