I use Trello heavily on my team. I love being able to see, at a glance what we’re working on and diagnose when we have a log jam of tasks.
I would move it all to Airtable if I had two features:
- “Status” Field Type. I want to set a record as To Do, Doing, or Done and see a progress bar that grows and/or changes color on status.
I want to customize the status based on my team’s work.
- Workflow View. I want to view my records and their status as if they are cards on a kanban board. Yes, just like Trello. Hey, they didn’t invent kanban boards, and they don’t have a patent on it (I hope).
I want to drag cards from one status to another.
- Airtable Super Powers. Here’s where Airtable would shine in the place that Trello falls.
Trello cards have no context. They don’t impact other resources and other resources don’t impacts cards.
I would love to associate a bigger project with a set of cards, or a particular campaign.
Basically want to link tables. Trello doesn’t have that. Airtable does.
What do you folks think? Would you use a Status Field Type & Workflow View?
