Reviews & Comments of Trello Cards Optimizer chrome extension

The extension no longer functions, and it looks like the creator has abandoned the project.

I switched to Pro4Trello (see related extensions). It's similar even though it has a slightly different set of enhancements.

This was a great tool, but stopped working. Website looks abandoned. Bummer

Used to be good, but now is broken. I get the error "Refused to evaluate a string as JavaScript because 'unsafe-eval' is not an allowed source of script in the following Content Security Policy directive". It also fees a bit odd that the source is not publically available.

I LOVE the capabilities. They are exactly what I've been looking for. But the extension bogs down my browser and freezes on all my devices, even my super powered desktop. I get the repeated message from Chrome "Page is not responding. Close? Wait?" When I wait the problem continues. Ultimately I had to turn it off just so I could start using my Trello board again. If it didn't shut my browser down, I would use it every single day. Am I missing something? Anyone else experiencing this? I would be HAPPY to update my rating if I can get someone to help me fix the problem. I'm reading other reviews that say it works great. I want it to work great. The capabilities are amazing. Any ideas? I am on Macs mostly, but I also use a Chromebook. Same problem.

This extension is amazing. Especially filtering by hashtag. Thank you! Just Donated! PS. Request: I use a bookmarklet to increase Trello list width. TCO resizes shrinks the width of the *cards* inside those lists often. Could you stop TCO from changing card widths when I uncheck "Resize lists to fit board width (if possible)"?

Not a fan of all of the defaults but you can easily disable things you don't want or adjust and this is a great replacement for my previous color label in lists option I was using, which stopped working recently.

It looks perfect, however it doesnt work if you have to many cards. I work with +/- 100 cards continuosly and Trello couldnt load. Had to remove it.

Everyone uses trello differently and i imagine many don't have boards with 2-4k cards. but for those who do, first glance of the app is a bunch of crashes untill i find the global options disable OTC and then enable board by board on the small ones. It's hard to fix, but i'd say either make a timeout if to much calculations are needed (with a popup) or disable automatically on a board if #cards > X and let the user know why it was done

Really appreciated the ability to widen a card. Got this extension particularly to add tables to cards. I've tried everything in the articles and instructions and even copied code snipets directly and *cannot* get the promised results. This part still needs work and/or better documentation. Much potential here though.

Amazing UI!

Very Userfull

Add's a lot of customization and usefulness to Trello boards

I like this. I REALLY wanted to love it. But it seemed to make trello lag more. I love being able to color cards, but it's not worth it when I have to wait for it to load every time I open trello. I second the rating that mentioned the icon. An icon should be an image, not text. ;)

I am so please I discovered this extension. Myself and my company use Trello extensively and it is rare that we find something it cannot do. However, the more you use Trello the more you wish that you could just change the cards to make them standout, group them, colour them, change the font size, bold text, colour text and so on. I discovered TCO by chance and through it have taken Trello to the next level and used it in presentations and seminars. As heavy users of Trello, we hit a bug with TCO and scrolling and on the off chance I contacted the developers at TCT. Through an exchange of messages myself and Wessel de Vries were able to get to the source of the problem and in the latest version it was fixed. All credit to Wessel and the TCO team. It means that my company can continue to be productive, continue using Trello effectively going forward. I recommend Trello Card Optimizer, it is well documented, always improving and should extend what you want to do with Trello.

I like it. I turned a few things off like sorting but I like the other stuff it does here. The copy-paste from Excel is a treat. I was after Syntax Highlighting but the other stuff in here is a nice bonus. I use a bastardised UserStyles dark CSS theme and it seems to work just fine with that. For tables the 2nd row looks like |: --- c:black |: --- c:black : | : --- c:black : for me which works fine in dark themes. Thanks! Well done.

Great extension. I've noticed that when I'm in the card view, all the menu items on the right hand side have been shifted down beneath the activity section as opposed to starting at the top of the card. I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's clashing with another extension. Please let me know if you're experiencing this as well.

I like this extension, it does quite a lot. But My cards are in Persian, which is a RTL language. Trello itself shows my cards fine but this extension turns them to left-to-right. And that is why sadly, I have to uninstall it :(

It does the tricks where Trello could not.

This extension replaced several extensions and userscripts, including one of my own. Fantastic usability improvements. I especially like the list resize and empty list collapse features. Donated 8 EUR, and posted a few suggested enhancements. Brilliant! Thanks!

Great work - Just donated $ to your cause

One of my favorite Chrome extensions and a great addition to Trello!! I have recommended this extension to so many others. Thank you to the developer

Though I've used Trello for years, I've only recently started using it regularly. This app does everything it says it's going to do, and Wessel provides great customer service. If you use Trello at all, TCO can only make life easier.

I'm really loving this! So many convenient formatting changes that makes it make easier to use Trello... One thing bothering me though is that cards appear to look "aged" after they've been left alone for a while. Is there a setting somewhere to disable this function?

An absolutely fantastic Trello addition that is a must-have for me.

Incredible improvement to an already great Trello product. My only suggestion would be to allow customization of the color for list counters which is always showing up red. Thanks!

More than just colored cards! I originally found this extension because I wanted to color code my Trello cards. This extension does this beautifully and so much more. You can even use hex codes to create a truly unique look for your Trello boards. Trello Cards Optimizer is also great for formatting card titles. It's so easy to bold the titles making them "pop" off of the card. Need a subtitle on the front of your card? Or colored text in your title? No problem. The option to automatically collapse empty lists really helps to streamline the look of your boards. I discovered a glitch with one of the functions. I contacted the developer and it was fixed within hours. Great job! I really love that you can have select which TCO features you want for each Trello board on an individual basis.

Making Trello Great! Don't get me wrong, I like Trello alright, but the more you use it, the more you get annoyed with minor issues here and there. I've installed Trello Cards Optimizer to get markdown working on card titles, but going over its features I noticed many other things that bothered me before and are handled by TCO. Trello Cards Optimizer is _seamless_. You don't need to do anything for it to do it's magic. You *can* use features provided by it to enhance your Trello experience. People who do not have it installed won't be impacted by other people working on the same board that do use it -- you'll get the benefits, and Trello will work as usual for the others. I've see the other review complaining about bugs, but I haven't stumbled upon any bug. Everything works just as usual, just better.

This is great in theory, BUT it is buggy and does some things automatically that I don't want. For example, moving cards within lists does not work any longer and the automatic additional gray header is unnecessary for me and adds visual clutter. Also, if you are an english user, some of the messages that pop up are in another language, I think Dutch. Overall this is a fantastic idea. With a few tweaks this could be an amazing extension! Developer, please consider updating!
