queria tanto que essa criatura sonsa entendesse que copiar a conversa dela no whatsapp com o cliente e colar no trello para eu decifrar não faz disso um briefing e sim apenas um atendimento bem porco.

For note taking and to-do lists I use Obsidian. Previously I'd use online tools like Trello, but I far prefer having a local thing. Obsidian has a lot of options, plug-ins and features but if you just want to keep notes you can ignore 90% of that and have something that just work...

We hit a LOT of goals during my Subtember promotion on Twitch last year - which I have absolutely zero regrets about - but the promised rewards to my community have left me extremely busy! I'm still not done with them all! My Trello is bulging with things I owe, and I'm gradually...

If you got a commission from me at Anthrocon, first of all — thank you! 🧡Still recovering from the con, but I’ll get back to work soon on finishing up the remaining sketches! I also made a Trello board to track everything and see who’s next in the queue: trello.com/b/RTBjkvPe

  • Ease of use dominated positive discussion and was the single largest theme across all mentions.
  • Sentiment trended upward over the window after an early dip, with the most active period landing on the more positive side of the range.
  • Bugs and reliability generated the sharpest criticism and appeared frequently enough to keep overall sentiment from climbing higher.
  • Competitor comparisons divided opinion, appearing in both praise and complaint clusters with no clear consensus direction.

Across the four-week window, public discussion of Trello settled into a pattern of moderate, divided sentiment, with ease of use carrying the heaviest positive weight. Commenters most frequently praised how approachable and low-friction the tool felt for personal organization and light project tracking, accounting for the largest share of positive mentions by a notable margin. Feature praise followed, suggesting that when things worked as expected, users were genuinely appreciative rather than merely tolerant. Collaboration and integration drew smaller but consistent positive notes, pointing to a subset of users who rely on Trello in multi-person or connected workflows.

On the complaint side, bugs drew the most attention, followed closely by reliability concerns and frustration over missing features. The co-occurrence of reliability and bug complaints gave that cluster a heavier emotional weight than raw counts alone might suggest, with several mentions framing these as recurring rather than isolated problems. UI complaints added another layer of friction to the negative conversation, and competitor comparisons appeared on both sides, meaning some commenters used rivals to praise Trello and others used them to argue for switching away.

The score trajectory tells a story of tentative recovery with some wobble. Discussion opened the window at its lowest point in late May, climbed modestly through early June, dipped again briefly, then improved into mid-June before softening again. The final two data points show a rebound, with the most mention-heavy period landing at the end of June and into early July coinciding with scores at the higher end of the recent range. This suggests the busier conversation skewed somewhat more positive, though not dramatically so.

The sample mentions reveal that a meaningful share of the discussion involves Trello being used incidentally, as a public-facing queue or personal tracker, rather than in formal team settings. This ambient, low-stakes usage likely contributes to the generally warm tone around simplicity while muting more pointed feature debates.
