Trello
Digital kanban platform
Trello is a web-based project management application that organizes tasks on virtual boards using cards and lists.
Users drag cards between columns to track progress—typically from "To Do" through "Doing" to "Done." The visual, kanban-style interface has made it popular for both personal task management and team collaboration: Let's set up a Trello board for the wedding planning.
