I use Trello heavily on my team. I love being able to see, at a glance what weโ€™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:

  1. โ€œStatusโ€ 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 teamโ€™s work.

  1. 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 didnโ€™t invent kanban boards, and they donโ€™t have a patent on it (I hope).

I want to drag cards from one status to another.

  1. Airtable Super Powers. Hereโ€™s where Airtable would shine in the place that Trello falls.

Trello cards have no context. They donโ€™t impact other resources and other resources donโ€™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 doesnโ€™t have that. Airtable does.

What do you folks think? Would you use a Status Field Type & Workflow View?

I had no idea Fieldbook had feature when I suggested it! But the visual way they implement it is pretty slick:
