Trello remains a king for solo lists and collaboration

We have not forgotten about Corona, but the lockdowns are long over and many companies are moving from being 50 percent in the office to: ‘see for yourself’. Hybrid working, that works well, and that is partly because we have been given many useful tools for working together. Although Trello is also great for working alone: ​​or only doing private things. We discuss it in this App of the Week.

Trello

If you’re used to using Trello on the computer, it’s a crazy idea to start using it on the phone. On the desktop you have that nice overview of different lists next to each other and that works very well. This makes it easier to drag cards to other lists and you have a quick overview. That seems to be a bit missing in the app. After all, you cannot see everything in an overview. You just see a small part of the lists next to it, but basically you only see one list of cards at a time.

That seems to get chaotic quickly, but if you know your plates a bit and keep them in order, it’s actually very doable. The app on phone is also in many ways the same as the desktop app. You can create a new list in no time and you can also easily pick up and drag a card (it also zooms out a bit so that you see several lists next to each other and therefore know where to place the card.

We use Trello in the editorial office to make it clear which articles are coming up, but you can also use it privately. For example, you can keep to-do lists in it, but also if you have gift ideas for people, a list of which movies you still want to watch, or just the shopping list. There are also all kinds of extras that can be added, such as an end date (useful for deadlines), or a small checklist within the list (useful if you make a map of a certain project and therefore have even smaller tasks within it that people can then cross off.

The app vs desktop

Trello is king when it comes to to-do lists and collaborating on projects, and so is the app. It’s easy to use, it loads quickly and it offers almost the same experience as on the desktop, just a little less overview. However, that is a matter of getting used to – and getting to know your own boards well. It is all in all an app that is a must have on your phone. Handy if you want to make a post-it for yourself, or if you want to make it clear to your colleague what the status of a certain project is.
