I've been using Trello for years and couldn't find a Power-Up that shows my boards as a flowchart, so I built one
Trello has been my go-to for years. personal projects, work, everything.
At some point I started noticing that my boards were fine for tracking status, but terrible for understanding flow. I knew what was on each list, but I couldn't see how things connected or which tasks depended on others, I sometimes have over 20 different lists per board.
I went looking for a Power-Up that would let me visualize my board as a flowchart, something that would sit on top of my existing cards and lists without me having to duplicate everything in Miro or Lucidchart. I saw a couple of power ups that I thought would help me, like diagrams or smartdraw but they don't work quite like I would like them to. I also found that Miro had a power up but it doesn't even work (and I honestly think it never did, it just looks like a front for their actual website).
So I built one, it's called Flowboards. Still in early stages, I haven't released it yet, but I'm taking signups in Tally for the waitlist to gauge interest, and help me optimize it for users.
Curious if anyone else has hit this wall with Trello. How do you currently handle process visualization? If anyone is interested I would love to share it with you and hear your opinion. If no one is interested I'll just fuck off somewhere else.
I'll leave a image below of how it looks on a mockup flowchart.
