Trello?

I subscribed to Trello for a year.

What I really liked about it was its plain-ness and simplicity. A task manager is used several times every day but often for less than a minute each time, so to achieve comprehension in that window, for me it needs to be plain and simple. I’m happy without much colour and complexity. Trello fitted that bill.

What I didn’t so much take to was the kanban system. For those who don’t know it, I do recommend Alexander’s suggestions: Wikipedia also has a (briefer) treatment. I can see where kanban may have value. But personally, I need the pressure and urgency of a time-dated list or a Gantt chart.

So for me - right presentation, wrong philosophy.
