Apps and Interactivity
You can use Trello on the web, or download dedicated desktop (macOS, Windows) or mobile apps (Android, iPhone, and iPad). The web app works smoothly, with great drag-and-drop capabilities, including for when you want to upload attachments. There are some advantages to installing the desktop app. For starters, you get desktop notifications as well as quick-add options (for quickly adding a new card). You also get Touch Bar features with a compatible Mac and support for additional keyboard shortcuts.

Trello lets you upload content from not only your desktop, but also Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, and URLs. When you upload a picture to a card, Trello can turn it into a cover image, helping you identify what the card contains at a glance. There's now an option to add a cover image even if you don't have anything to upload; Trello lets you search on Unsplash for something relevant.

While you can assign someone to a card and set a due date, you won't find more advanced project management features, such as estimating best- and worst-case scenarios for how long a task might take to complete. It's also strange to me that cards can't be checked off as done, although you can archive them. This is still true even for cards with a due date. Maybe the problem is that I'm trying to pigeonhole cards into being tasks when in fact they don't have to be. Trello is a highly flexible system in this sense. Cards can be whatever you want just as columns can be for whatever you want.
