Trello as a private community BUT looking for additions
Hi, I'm Hai from Vietnam. Here is my first post on IH.
I like Trello and see that no one has ever mentioned it as an online community platform. I have been using Trello for my newly-founded book club for more than a month and people love it.
First, here are some benefits I love:
1. A Trello page is static
-
Each board as a topic for every 2 weeks reading. A member has a list, consisting of a lot of cards. When entering the board, you see books, not status or comments. I LOVE IT!
-
Cards represent people's insights that they can update during reading. The cards are there and never get lost. Anyone can visit others' lists to see what's going on.
2. A Trello card's description has editing functions
Hashtag, mentioning users, heading, bold, italic, etc.
3. People can discuss and comment on their peers' cards.
4. People can save their and others' insights to their personal boards.
However, I still have to find alternatives or additions because of some cons:
- People cannot chat in private. Direct messaging needed.
2. If my club opens more people, 20 - 30 lists will look like messes.
3. Anyone can touch others' lists and cards. Privacy needed.
- Trello limit 10 boards in the free plan.
Any suggestions from Community Builders would be great!
Thanks!
this is so interesting! i had never thought!
Yeah, it totally suits my needs :D
can you post more about this?
Hi there! Not sure if we would be able to satisfy your findings, but we think we might be able to help! Check us out at https://www.airsend.io/.
We are a chat platform that hosts private and public groups. Additionally, we have our own built-in task management, file storage, and "about" section.
Thank you, I’ll give it a try :D
Oh, interesting, I had never considered it from that perspective. I will have a ponder and see if I can come up with other ideas.
Is it a private board? I'm curious to have a peek, or see a screenshot.
I have just added a screenshot. Take a look ;)
Oh nice.
This is the conference one I mentioned.
I've mostly moved over to Notion now, I guess you could achieve pretty similar and more things with that.
Thank you. I tried Notion before Trello but I think it’s too much for my peers.
Oh actually, now that I think of it, we once had a Trello board for a conference we hosted, which meant that anyone could access, share notes, links, etc.
