About Trello
Trello made kanban mainstream. Cards, lists, and drag-and-drop are the whole idea, and that simplicity is why non-technical teams adopt it when heavier tools gather dust. Butler automation handles repetitive moves, and power-ups bolt on calendars and integrations. Complex projects eventually outgrow it, but as a shared to-do board it is still unbeatable.
