T2MD–Trello to Markdown Tool

T2MD is a tool that converts Trello boards and cards to Markdown.

t2md backs ups the full .json export of your Trello boards and all uploaded (not linked) attachments, then creates local markdown files for each card’s description, checklists, comments and attachments for easy viewing. Any references to uploaded attachments in the description and comments are replaced with local relative paths so they continue to display.

This allows you to preserve important info you store in Trello, view it locally, run fast full-text searches and even generate static sites of your Trello content.

It runs asynchronously which makes it pretty fast too. Both Windows and Linux single-file-binary (no .Net Core install required) builds are available.

Trello “Master Level” Tips

I use Trello, Todoist and Google Calendar to manage all of the projects and tasks I need to do or keep track of. Trello’s blog has a nice summary of advanced tips that casual users of Trello might not be aware of.

One of the things that isn’t mentioned there that I really appreciate about Trello is that I can create a new checklist and copy and paste long lists of tasks separated by carriage routines, and it will add each one as a checklist item. It’s nice to add a list of 200 things that I need to do as a project in one fell swoop instead of having to add one by one.

That said there are some glaring things missing from Trello, including its bizarre search function which is alternately sophisticated and mindnumbingly dumb depending on what you’re trying to do.
