I agree. I actually use trello more like a onenote replacement than anything else. An offline app would be really nice in a lot of ways. Unfortunately, there are still some places I go with my laptop that doesn't have wifi available.

Plus a standalone app would be nice too, having it as a separate application outside of my browser window, but I digress.



Starting chrome with --app=https://trello.com works as a standalone app.


I confess to being one of the non-programmer types that nonetheless gets a lot of value out of hacker news...

...how do you do this, or what does it mean? I'd google it myself, but I didn't catch the reference and can't.


You start Chrome from the command line with that parameter. So, if `path_to_chrome` starts chrome from the command line, you would use something like `path_to_chrome --app=https://trello.com`. Without knowing your operating system, I can't be much more exact than that. I hope that points you in the right direction!


Search for "make shortcut with arguments" plus your OS and you should find something.


That is perfect! thank you!


Now do you send subsystem $200 ;)


I googled how to do it and found the fluid browser for Mac. It's great, it lets you create standalone apps.
