Wow, so is Trello going after monday.com?

@chrismessina Yes and no. We think Trello can be much more than just a project management tool and I think the screenshot here at top of this article which explains this more in depth: https://www.protocol.com/trello-... shows off the link cards. (Feature: https://blog.trello.com/trello-c... ) -> Today we support Jira cards, as well as Google doc cards, etc, but eventually those will be Asana issues and Monday tasks - because Trello can be a common language with your entire team, regardless of what they use to get their work done. Designers in Figma? Devs in Jira? Marketers in Asana? Trello ties them all together.
@chrismessina @michaelpryor I wonder if the more important comparison here is Airtable? All of this looks great, but without native web forms to gather information and requests for work, Airtable still has a significant edge....
Any moves in this space coming @michaelpryor?
@michaelpryor Used Trello in the past. Would love to explore and personally try this new Trello some time soon. Hopes are high!
@chrismessina I think more that Trello has seen the traction of a platform like ClickUp and is trying to do the same. One App to rule them all!!
Seems like a great update! Would've loved to use it... but we already moved away from Trello (after being a fan and promoter for many, many years).
At the moment, it doesn't justify to move back. Still seems like a great option for earlier stage companies, though!
I love Trello. I used it a lot. In the past.
There are just so many other alternatives that already offer such visualisations and UI - for free - that I have to ask:
Why would I go back to Trello now?
@lyondhur this article does a good job at explaining why you don’t even have to move “back” www.protocol.com/trello-redesign Trello lets you organize your Asana issues and your Jira issues alongside each other. It organizes Figma, Google Docs and more. It’s not a mutually exclusive choice. Trello boards can now help make sense of your work no matter where it lives.
Great to see the old crew (and I'm sure a lot of new faces) shipping awesome product!
Seeing comparisons to Monday.com and Airtable here. I don't have any experience with the former, but I have thoughts about the latter comparison.
We used Airtable to great effect at InVision. @maggioant made an epic Airtable to coordinate the activities of a dozen teams. It was really great and powerful and a great way to visualize so many flows, but it is eye-poppingly expensive. Like laughably expensive. So we had to move to Google Sheets.
As Peter Drucker said way back in the 80's "The worship of premium pricing always creates a market for the competitor." Kudos to Trello for stepping into the market Airtable has created for them.
This is fantastic. Im a huge fan but was kind of holding on out of past loyalty and respect given compelling competition. This makes the choice to stay so much easier.
