Oh neat! I totally missed that. I didn't evaluate storyboard super deep,
given some of the things I heard about it not being ready for everyone
to switch to. So I don't have a good list as to what Trello does (or
doesn't) do better.

I'd like to stick with Trello for now (since we're all set up on it) and
look at storyboard harder for the Ocata cycle. I specifically
quarantined trello to only our Newton priorities, partially for this
reason.
