4 Clicks to delete a card

[Edward Imbier]

Why such a click intensive UI just to delete something?

Fast forward 4 years and we abandoned Trello.  It never lived up to the hype and was always too limiting and way too click intensive.  Candidly, I never saw the app meaningfully improve over time.  So many apps do that.  They address an innovative idea or a market need and then stagnate.

Archiving a card can be done with one keystroke and is a much more common action than deleting. Even with four clicks we get many emails a month asking for us to restore deleted info (we cant).

The power up by Adaptavist to display the hidden delete button is $10 per board per year.  That someone was irritated enough to make a power up and that they have a market to sell this single feature is pretty telling.

Why not have a optional setting to enable display of the hidden delete button?  You can bury the setting 20 clicks deep and only allow it to be enabled if the user signs a waiver.

BTW:  I say "hidden" because the button displays in the Actions list when the card is archived so the function exists, it's just not shown.
