Jim,

I am not familiar with NextCloud but I may take a look at it.  The picture keeps changing with Cloud-based applications.

One of the things that I really like about Trello is that it is very "visually based" and therefore easy to use.

Also, Trello is accessible on various devices (iphone, iPad, Android phones, Apple computers, Windows PCs, etc).  I use a Windows PC and an Android tablet.  My wife has an iPhone and an iPad.

Over the years, I have tried to become more organized both at work and at home via various methods (writing on napkins, sticky notes, files in Drop-Box, 80 column computer cards - not kidding, Word documents, Excel files, etc, etc.)   I think that I have finally found something that is much much better than the methods that I have used in the past.    

Brad

Hi Brad:

Trello looks like a very interesting package. 

I have been using NextCloud (https://nextcloud.com/) in the same fashion. My current version is running off a Raspberry PI3, with a 2 TB portable hard drive connected...and "yes" it is more than adequate. Right now the family has just been using it to sync music and pictures between family members but I understand it has the capability of running fully collaborative projects like coding, documents, spreadsheets and project management. The main reason I like NextCloud is because it can be downloaded and run on your own equipment. The draw back is that the performance is limited to the bandwidth you have. Of course if the product is being principally used within a network, there are no such issues.

I was using ownCloud, for managing our vacation planning, last year, before the product forked but I think the NextCloud iteration is superior in design and performance.

Trello, may have some extra management features but I will have to check it out before any conclusions, but it does look like a package well worth investigating.

Jim

All,

A friend recently introduced me to Trello which is a very nice free cloud-based project management system.  I have started to experiment with Trello and the more I work with it, the more I like it.  I am starting to use it both at work and on the home front to keep track of projects, tasks, to-do lists, vacation plans, etc, etc. 

I have two questions.

Is anyone else here in AccessD using Trello?

If so, has anyone experimented with the Trello APIs?  I would like learn more about exchanging data between Microsoft Access and Trello.

Thanks,
Brad
