    I would like to replace Trello as my main source of organizing things abd use WordPress + ItemPress to do this.

    Things Trello is good at that we want to have (suggest more):

    – Organize items into separate projects
    – View a project and all it’s lists with cards in them
    – Quickly adding new cards to lists
    – Moving cards around from one list to another

    How it might work differently, yet similar to Trello (any ideas?):

    – Have a default starting view of all items sorted by terms/label (will need un-labeled)
    – Have a selector of some kind to include/exclude terms
    – Saving a selection of terms to be included in a “project” for viewing later

    Example (here t3 excluded):

    -------- -------- [x] t1
-- t1 -- -- t2 -- [x] t2
-------- -------- [ ] t3
-- a1 -- -- c1 --
-- b1 -- -- d1 -- Saved t1/t2 Filter
-------- --------

    What about the Public?

    So this is all awesome beans for doing this in the WordPress Dashboard. What about people who are subscribers? Obviously they will have the classic WordPress post view, but they should be able to share the experience.

    Some Thoughts:

    – We want to be able to publicly show people the project groups or views
    – We will have to code a template to do so (read only)
    – What about collaboration? (permissions issue)

    I was really excited about doing something like this, but a few thoughts:

    – This might be a very LARGE task
    – I tried dogfooding the product as it is to organize a project, and doing it the WordPress classic way was a bit hard
    – Do I need to just focus on content, not on “lists”? Crawl-walk-run?
    – The major reason for doing something like this, I think, is to create a board-view-type alternative to stuff like Trello or Pivitol Tracker

    If this is still a good idea, I’m thinking:

    – Maybe this “view” is more a appropriate to morph the Labels (taxonomy) page
    – It should be something that allows people to easily sort items into different terms in Labels and additional taxonomies added through itempress_add_tax hook
    – It maybe should be geared towards a project-anything management solution

    Taking this on is a huge project. However, the appeal of a Trello like interface is what will really make this work. What will really encourage people to use it … buy it.

    Maybe try building it in stages for your own use or a few beta users. Once you get it to work more like a kaban type board, let me know. I’m defiantly interested.
