Look! Another web based app. I even feel the pain when it takes 1-2 seconds before seeing actual screen. Please somebody bring old mac desktop experience back. Almost only app that left with native experience is Finder. Phewww

@nucro having just built my first Electron app, it's hard to blame them. If you know web dev, it's crazy easy to build a solid app. For me, Electron was the difference between building a really good product in under a week and not building the app at all. (I.e. I simply don't have the time to learn to build native Mac and windows apps as a one man shop)

Sorry to be that guy, but why is this Mac only?
Kyle Richey
@mehedih_ The Windows desktop app comes out tomorrow, Sep 14, according to https://trello.com/platforms.

@mehedih_ @imakestrides No plans for Linux? I mean, cross-platform is the darn point of Electron.

RIP Paws for Trello

I've been using Paws for Trello since its first release. I'm glad to see Trello saw how good it really is and integrated them into the fold. Good work guys!

One more web-based app. Electron wiping out the native application experience
Andrejus Zlotnikovas
@lucas_romano_marquez_rizzi will need more RAM to use Trello Desktop :D

Thanks for your sacrifice Nathaniel. At least you get to say you're a trailblazer!

Is this built with Electron? Slack is and is horribly slow
Tim Shnaider
@sabrisjourney Slack Desktop is slow because of Slack devs and architecture. Plenty of fast Electron apps

Understandable that offline usage is probably on feature backlog and not yet implemented as this needs complex sync management. But until then this not much more then a browser substitute. If you are on the road often and try to work with Trello this is painful. Internet on the road (eg trains & flights) is never stable and Trello is very sensitive with connection.

Pros:

Standalone app to disburden browser and help focus, mac notifications available, same UI as browser version

Cons:

No offline usage and buffer - this would be critical for real app advantage

Finally! I use Trello on a daily basis, can't wait to see how it improves my workflow as a desktop application.
Pulkit Agrawal
@falchook curious to know how you're finding this. I'm not sure it's been that much better than the control I get from the browser experience.
Andrew Falchook
@_pulkitagrawal I haven't noticed that Trello desktop offers any more functionality than the browser experience. Nevertheless, I've found Trello in my dock much more accessible and convenient than keeping it open as a perpetual tab.

Really liking this so far. The only two things I'd like to see are: 1. Option not to blur the background behind the window. 2. Tabs to open multiple boards/cards in one window.

Looks pretty smooth. I will have to test it out.

I've been using Trello for some time now and to have a native app on the Mac, it's been a long time coming. Wish they would bring back the Kindle app (it was discontinued some time ago)

Pros:

Native app that omits the need to use the web client

Cons:

Nothing. Works great.

Thomas Rivas
Yes! Finally not having to look through the thousand of tabs I have open for Trello. Thank you guys!
Dimitar Nestorov
@trivassi https://imgur.com/a/XYr9M or you can push it out as a standalone window

Nothing exciting at the moment. Using Trello on a browser seems to be ideal for me.

Pros:

Did not find anything interesting.

Cons:

It's not a native-native app. Seems to be well wrapped and packaged in electron (maybe). The app loads the boards each time you re-open.

Arun
After use for about half day, Trello for desktop looks more like a web-app put into a native format, based on Electron or the sort. Not much of a tech guy here, but looks so, because the boards keep re-loading when the app is opened afresh, and prolonged inactivity asks me to reload the app. :/

Looks great, feels great, and works great. Been waiting for this for a while. Thanks team Trello @michaelpryor @tombenattar well done!

Trello for Mac has a long way to go. Needs new upgrades in the coming days.

Pros:

Trello being available on desktop as a native app is the only advantage now.

Cons:

Inability to use third-party add-ons - like I have been using card counter Google Chrome extensions on Trello website. Not possible here.
