@georgemporter @trello We've tried it to run Bootstrap. For many years it went well. But lately it has not been working so well for us. A bit more on this below. For my personal todo it was really bad because I didn't get email updates (maybe it does that now?). ↵

@georgemporter @trello We use it for our household shopping lists, and it's fantastic for that. Works on all devices, cards are nice and lightweight, etc. But back to managing a group. ↵

@georgemporter @trello One of the virtues was how cards would disappear instantly on everyone's screens when one person archived them. Bootstrap is very distributed, so on a call (pre Zoom) it was vital for everyone to have a shared view, and Trello syncing provided that. ↵

@georgemporter @trello For one thing, that hasn't worked quite as well lately. We notice this with shopping, too. We often end up with duplicate items because of how long it takes to sync. ↵

@georgemporter @trello But it's also nice to have a bit more structure. You have lists, cards, and sub-bullet-items. But it's hard to promote something from one level to the next. Most of all, you can't have a *discussion* associated with the leaf items, where you want it. ↵

@georgemporter @trello As of 2-3 weeks ago we've switched to trying out GitHub projects. Their URLs are poorly-designed in a baffling way. But they have a good structure, and you can turn cards into Issues, and then we're in familiar territory, with commenting, linking, etc. ↵

@georgemporter @trello So for now, we're *abandoning* Trello for GitHub issues.

Would love to hear others' experiences, especially people who went the other way.
