Trello Cards Optimizer

Automatic card frontside formatting and coloring based on title and labels

Trello Cards Optimizer is a powerful Chrome extension designed to supercharge your Trello boards by enabling automatic frontside card formatting and coloring based on titles and labels. It supports advanced title markup tags for main titles, subtitles, priorities, stars, and custom coloring. On card backsides, users can enjoy markdown support for tables and syntax highlighting for code blocks, making descriptions and comments clear and professional.

User reviews

Trello Cards Optimizer is valued for its customization options, like card coloring, wider cards, and filtering, which enhance Trello's usability especially for power users. However, many users report the extension has recently stopped working due to apparent abandonment, causing frustration. Performance lags and browser freezes occur, particularly on large boards, and some features lack clear documentation. UI bugs and compatibility issues are also noted. Despite its strong capabilities and past developer support, current users face significant challenges due to its non-functioning state.
