Looks sleek, will give it a try! Tiny remark : in your page describing the product (in English) are screenshots of the French version of Trello. It might confuse some people :)

@sylvainw--thanks for building this, I really like the idea and intent. I've been playing for a few minutes and I'm a little confused by the treatment of labels and dates. A couple anecdotal examples for which I may (admittedly) be missing something: - Past due cards (effective start date say 9/1/15 that were due on 10/15/15) don't appear in the Elegantt chart, which is odd to me because these are the cards I'd like to make sure don't get missed. If anything I'd like to see them highlighted. - I'm not following the logic on label sorting. Trello treats labels with an internal hierarchy which is displayed left-to-right on a card level. From what I can see Elegantt categorizes lists by the highest weighted label regardless of any proceeding labels, which is sort of irrelevant for implementations with multiple labels that with a sequential value. All-in-all I really like the idea, just curious about some of the minutiae. Really looking forward to exploring this as a tool to bring a seamless "big picture" integration into our development process.

@damrunner Thanks for taking the time to try out Elegantt for Trello. For this first iteration we chose to optimise the extension for the most popular Trello workflow which happens to be the 1 week Scrum sprint. Also, due to the rate limits of the Trello API, we had to implement a couple of default rules that can cause some cards to be omitted from the chart: - all lists containing more than 50 cards are ignored by default. These are regarded as backlog/changelog which are not part of the current sprint per se. You can unignore them by ticking the checkbox at the top of the list. - we automatically ignore the cards that last more than 4 sprints. Again, you can choose to unignore them manually. We may very well make these parameters customizable through a settings panel in a future iteration. Regarding the labels, we simply sort the cards based on their first label (using the same order as Trello). We are considering implementing other grouping/sorting options and will definitely take your feedback into account. The overall goal is to give the user a workable overview of his project out of the box and with minimum initial setup. Thanks again for your feedback!

This looks really cool and useful, but if you have notifications setup from Trello to Slack... prepare for a massive influx of notifications when you first enable the Elegantt extension on a Trello board. Was actually really off-putting, as I thought it might've also sent notification emails! (Luckily, it didn't.) I won't be activating it on any more boards, because I don't want to spam my colleagues (especially if they're not wanting to use the tool), but I'll enjoy using it on this board :)

@japh sorry to hear that. This is due to the fact that we have to initialize your Elegantt data for each of your cards when you first enable the extension on your board. Since that data is stored in your card descriptions, this can indeed trigger Slack notifications depending on your Trello integration setup. We are currently working on a less invasive way to store your Elegantt data which would still guarantee that the content of your boards remains private. Thanks for your feedback!

I also agree about Safari and I would like to use with Zapier, then you could really use whatever CRM and mailing app you want. Thank you for sharing!

OMG I need this! Was about to publish my blog post “Freelancer Tools of the Trade” when my wife showed me she’d gotten a link to this in the latest PH newsletter – now defo including this in my blog post even if I haven‘t had time to test it yet.
