My history with Trello

I used Trello personally during a few years after being recommended by a YouTuber girl.

The first thing that I didn't like was that it was hard to start and not intuitive.

I found the boards confusing and didn't know how to get things in one place.

Then I wanted to have tasks organized by date and be in one place.

I stopped using Trello after not meeting my needs and it had become hard to manage. It took too much time to manage tasks and a simple text note would do a better job.

I started to use Self Manager daily

Since the launch of Self Manager in late 2022 I started using it almost daily and during some periods daily.

It was super easy to use and it didn't get in my way. It was not taking me more time to manage it.

I had one place where I could track my tasks, take notes related to those tasks and even upload related images.

Self Manager has a unique approach to organize data by each day. This makes it very easy to use. Each day has its own data and you can add data to past and future dates.

On Self Manager you can view all your images from all the tables in one place.

There is a button at the bottom of all tables "Show all images" which takes you to a page where all your images are visible. You can also go the URL directly self-manager.net/all-images

Above each row of images appears the date for which they were was added.

Clicking that date takes you to the date with all tables from that date.

Trello is fast but Self Manager is even faster.

Navigating between tables and dates on Self Manager feels like instant. It feels like a desktop application that doesn't use the internet

Adding a new table with tasks is instant.

This is possible by using the latest technologies available.

Your tables, tasks, notes and images are available all at once on a single page.

You might want to add a new task and some notes related to it. You can do that on the same page.

You can edit all table info(title and description) and all tasks from it from a single pannel without leaving the page.

If you want to reuse an entire table for a different date you can just duplicate it and transfert it to the date you want.

There is no need to go to different pages to do different things.

The seach from the sidebar on desktop or mobile top part is powerful and searches through table name, tasks and notes. From the search results page you can click on the table name and navigate directly to that date and table.
