I haven't had a chance to download it yet, but my suspicion says it's probably an Electron application. What do you all feel about this practice of taking long-lived web applications and getting them out of a tab and into a desktop shell with a place on the dock/task bar and the ability to Atl/Control-Tab?
No Linux version is disappointing, especially considering it's an Electron app. Other than global shortcuts, it doesn't seem to offer much over using the web version as a Chrome app with its own launcher and window.
To all of those saying "why not just use the webapp directly?", a global hotkey to add new items is probably the main thing that caused me to not take Trello seriously as a personal task manager. Being able to instantly collect a new task to get it out of my head and worry about it later is a key feature for me.
This app will do that, so I'll seriously think about Trello again.
FWIW - I've been using Trello in a http://fluidapp.com/ and it's been pretty minimal in terms of resource usage and works well.
I live in a web browser day to day. I'm constantly in and out of Teamwork, Harvest, Google Drive, Slack, Google Analytics etc etc.
Trello is also a core part of our workflow (we're custom software developers) and so Cmd/Ctrl + T to open a new tab and type in "tre"...<Enter> to load Trello is basically muscle memory at this point.
All of that is to say, what's the need for a "native" app? I say "native" because it's Electron, which isn't really native per se. But still, why??
Why is this screenshot rendered so badly? https://blog.trello.com/hs-fs/hubfs/desktop-shortcuts-conden... From the URL it might have been dynamically resized?

I love the irony of having the marketing lines "Experience Trello without distractions" and "Native notifications" follow directly each other in the trailer.
I've been using ABoards for Trello on Windows 10. Is there any reason to try this instead of ABoards?
Get more done without distractions: Ditch "productivity" software and just use a calendar and a list of monthly, yearly goals. It doesn't require a browser and 2+ GB of memory! It won't shutdown one day, and the best part is there's no ads... notifications... stickers... emojis... easter eggs... or whatever else is considered "productive" these days.
Linux anyone?
Ugh.. Sorry, but an additional app is more of a distraction than a new tab for me.
Is it just me or is Trello the most overrated software ever.. stack some lists, group them, color them, collaboration... woo.. could have done that with a google doc.
It actually is an electron app
Tried it. It's a bit laggy and seems not much different than the website itself.
