I redesigned Trello's board UI — here's what I changed and why The original Trello is functional, but visually it hasn't evolved much. I took it as a challenge to reimagine it with a modern dark glassmorphism aesthetic. What I improved: → Added visual hierarchy to columns — Today feels urgent, Later feels passive. Color communicates priority without words. → Replaced the cluttered sidebar with clean navigation — Inbox is now separate from the board, not competing with it. → Added priority dots on cards — one glance tells you what needs attention now. → Empty state for the Later column — instead of dead space, it guides the user. → Dissolving white borders — subtle glassmorphism that feels premium without being distracting. The goal wasn't to make it "pretty" — it was to make it clearer and faster to use. What would you change? 👇
