You can now preview checklists without opening a card

Plus exciting Chrome Extension updates for checklists!

Greetings from Lexington, KY. 😻

Speaking of CATS…my cats have gotten so comfortable with the camper, they’ve started inviting friends to the campfire I guess?

Okay lets jump into Trello!

🎉 You can now preview checklists without opening a card

This one’s small but it’s going to save you so much back-and-forth.

Trello added a new way to peek at your checklist items right from the card front. No opening the card, no loading the full view. You just click the checklist progress bar and the items pop up right there. Check something off. Click again to close it. Done.

If you’ve ever found yourself opening a card just to see what was left on a list, or to check one thing off before closing it again, this is for you. It sounds like a tiny thing. It doesn’t feel tiny when you’re actually moving through a board.

Pro tip: this works great if you use checklists as quick task lists inside a bigger project card. You can keep the board view and still act on items without breaking your flow.

I need your help building a Wall of Trello Love 🧱

As part of some rebrand updates I’ve been working on, I’m putting together something I’m calling the Wall of Trello Love. Basically, a collection of quotes from people who’ve found my content helpful.

And I’m asking you for one.

If something I’ve shared has ever saved you time, helped you actually understand Trello, or given you a system that works for your brain... a quote is a free and genuinely meaningful way to say thanks. It takes a few minutes and it helps me more than you’d think!

Here’s how it works: I built a Fillout form that feeds directly into a Trello board. You fill it out, it creates a card with your quote, and then I use Shareables to pull those quotes off the board and display them as polished graphics on a page.

I want to walk you through this process on purpose, because this is actually something any small business owner could set up.

• A form that creates Trello cards.

• Shareables to display them beautifully.

The whole thing is replicable if you want to build your own testimonial wall or social proof system.

So yes, I’m asking for a quote. But I’m also showing you a workflow while I do it!

✔️ Chrome extension update: bye-bye strikethrough

Premium subscriber Dee Beck asked whether there was a way to hide the strikethrough styling that Trello applies to completed checklist items. It always crossed out the text when you checked something off, which some people find distracting or just visually annoying.

So I added it to my Chrome Extension for collapsing checklists!

You can now toggle that strikethrough off in my Chrome extension. The item gets marked complete, but the text stays clean and readable.

If you don’t have the extension yet, grab it here. It’s free!

Special shoutout to my premium sponsors!
