[AccessD] Microsoft Access and Trello

[Steve Schapel]

Hi Brad

What kind of data do you want to feed into Trello from Access?

You can send data to Trello via email, and you can send data from Access by 
email.  Maybe that is an avenue to explore.

Regards
Steve

Jim,


I continue to watch YouTube videos and read articles about Trello and 
similar tools such as Asana.  I have also started to experiment with the 
various features in Trello.


The more I work with Trello, the more I like it.  I think that it will be a 
great tool for my use in project management and for keeping track of work 
that needs to be completed.


I still have not figured out how to feed data into Trello from Access.  This 
is not a big deal, I was just curious if this was possible and curious if 
others here on AccessD had used Trello and perhaps knew how to push data 
into Trello from Access.


I really like the fact that Trello is free and Cloud-based, plus it is 
accessible from all platforms.


Brad

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
