Today wraps up week 3 of the 2013 Ubuntu App Showdown, with 19 days left.

I’ve been very busy working on a very useful feature for Ubuntu Tasks – Trello integration! So far I’ve added read-only support for the following:

Connect to Trello

View Trello boards

View cards in a Trello board. This includes: Name Description 1st Checklist

Keep a local copy of Trello boards and cards for faster startup

Unfortunately, my original UI design did not include the concept of lists, which Trello uses as a level between boards and cards (what I call projects and tasks). I haven’t been able to come up with any ideas on how to integrate this, so I asked for suggestions on Google+ and Sam Hewitt is going to work on a design for me (very much appreciated).

Along with Trello integration, I’ve also been working on minor UI improvements in other areas, which include:

Redesigned checklists

Better names for the buttons to create a new project and add a new task

A new date picker widget

I’ve still got a lot to do before the deadline, September 15. I’d like to complete the following features:

Sorting of tasks

Better Trello integration, including: Being able to modify/create/delete Trello boards/lists/cards Lists Labels

Dependencies on other tasks (maybe)

So, as you can see, this list of features is gradually shrinking. My own project backend, which syncs with U1, is basically feature complete, unless I think of other features other than the above list. Most of my work will go into improving the UI and Trello integration.
