This is so cool

Thank you for reposting this. I am the author of the post and it is getting some amazing comments on the front page now. Can’t tell you how happy am to see it getting some love.

Thanks a lot, it was clearly worth the effort.

Author here, it already supports that for the best attractors. On phone there is a menubar at bottom, on desktop you can’t miss it.

Author here, there is a setting to pick colour mode. I implemented it after similar suggestion by someone on twitter. Give it a try.

Author here, I have tried labeling the "More Information" sections as "AI Generated" where it was directly summarized from the wikipedia article, otherwise most of the post is written by me. I have taken help from AI to fact check and refine few things here and there, but boundaries are so blur now that am not sure if i should label the full post as AI Assisted.

Trello got other problems https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22873578

This might change your mind https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22873578

Would you consider changing your opinion given more context https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22874704

I believe that is not entirely true. Here is the explaination https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22874704

It's evident from their reply that they do not care about a primary or a secondary email. In my case the company email was secondary, in this case it is primary.

That is precisely what happened to me.

From the comments, there is some confusion about why did i attach my personal email to a company account. That was not the case, let me clarify it. I created my personal account long before Trello was acquired by Atlassian. It did not have any SSO at that point and the login was with username and password. At some point, while working on a side project and to share it with a teammate, I attached a secondary email to my account and created few boards under it. This email was my companies email @company.com

The multiple account login used to work the same way it works for github now. The boards were very clearly labeled under the email/username they were created and clearly had the ownership well defined. As soon as I left the company and my email was disabled, all the boards under that email disappeared from my account. This was expected and kept using my primary email (i always used to login with my username) and completely forgot about an attached secondary email (which anyways is now deactivated). Fast forward 5 years with tons of personal boards under this account, one morning it stopped working without any notification (yes i revised my spam to be sure about it) with all my data gone.

I will try to set some context here. I created my personal account long before Trello was acquired by Atlassian. It did not have any SSO at that point and the login was with username and password. At some point, while working on a side project and to share it with a teammate, I attached a secondary email to my account and created few boards under it. This email was my companies email @company.com

As soon as I left the company and my email was disabled, all the boards under that email disappeared from my account. This was expected and kept using my primary email (i always used to login with my username) and completely forgot about an attached secondary email (which anyways is now deactivated). Fast forward 5 years with tons of personal boards under this account, one morning it stopped working without any notification (yes i revised my spam to be sure about it) with all my data gone.

The ownership of the board is by account. In this case, all the company accounts were anyways invisible to me as my login email was personal gmail account and I only had the permissions to delete board owned under my account.

In this case, I did not even use the company email. I was my personal gmail.

A board is owned by the user. In my case, my boards are clearly created by email ending in @gmail.com and not @company.com

I am the user in this case. When I linked the accounts almost 6-7 years ago, Trello was not part of Atlassian and there was no SSO in place. At some point, they introduced it, but still, the regular way of login was working. There was no notification from there side that it will stop working abruptly. The company email address in this case what @comany.com and the personal one was @gmail.com. This is how they handed over all the accounts ending with @company.com to my previous company.

The ownership of data is attached to the email. As soon as i left my workplace, none of the data created under my company account was visible to me. On top of that, they launched SSO support lately. It was not SSO when I connected my accounts years back.

I am the user in this case. I understand Atlassian's position in this case but this is so hard to track over such a long period of time. I left this workplace almost 5 years back and the account worked fine. Then it suddenly stopped working without any notification from their side.

I understand Atlassian's part here. But Atlassian did this on purpose. They clearly understand the implication and the ownership of accounts, but they deliberately ignored individual users over big corporate accounts. And in my case, they didn't even have the courtesy to notify me in any way. I just stopped working one day leaving all my data unbale to use.
