@shawnroos currently, there is no assigning of cards to people. but it will come very soon. we have board comments now and @mentions in board comments with notifications kinda like slack are currently in test. then we will do card comments and card assignments to team members. Today you share boards with your team members and they see all comments. We are running a lean agile development team and putting out new features about every 2 weeks.
Am definitely going to use this for product management work, particularly the planning phase
The ability to switch between organized and free flow layout is great!
@shawnroos your comment reminds me of another point that we think is different about Cardsmith from other tools. It supports the entire project lifecycle from ideation, to planning to execution. of course, you can use for whatever part of your process that works for you. We try hard not to impose any particular methodology, just like sticky notes - you define the methodology that works for you.
I've been using Cardsmith to organize ideas, workflows, UI designs and even events. I've struggled to adopt other organizational tools because they're often too rigid for the way my brain sorts things. This tool makes it simple to arrange things in free-form fashion or use a more structured approach, depending on what makes most sense. They have some great sharing and real-time collaboration features. The product keeps getting better. I know the team behind this platform and they're great people with a passion for helping others bring ideas to life. Excited to introduce them to the PH community!
Wow, there's something appealing about the "sticky note" design, although I am wondering if it offers enough additional value for me to switch from trello. good luck!
@afhill you can try it out easily enough as you can import a trello board and then see what you think.

I've been working with Monica and the CS team since concept, and have deep admiration for their commitment to building a flexible, intuitive platform. Cardsmith is great for individuals and small teams, with a friendly, easy-to-use interface, and great real-time sharing. Even if you don't consider yourself a project manager, Cardsmith is an excellent tool for personal projects - organizing your stuff, planning trips or home improvement projects, brainstorming novel ideas, or designing lesson plans and curricula.
@moedee01 That's exactly why I've loved making & using Cardsmith. I'm by no means a project manager, but I've used CS to plan personal projects, brainstorm (too many) ideas, and even plan my monthly budget. It's flexibility is definitely its strength. Thanks for commenting!

Cardsmith is lovely. Just played around for a minute or two. I use Trello to manage projects with clients, but for my own projects a little less structure is most welcome until they grow.
@kkdub thanks Kelly! would love to know what you think after you use it a bit more. We want to improve based on customer feedback.

I really appreciate the clean and minimal UI of Cardsmith. It's free-form and customizable which helps me move my ideas around and use it for a variety of UX projects.
