Brainloot vs Trello
Trello popularised simple lists and cards. Brainloot keeps that clarity, then adds Hand-first focus, light RPG progression, and editor deep links so game studios ship without living in a browser tab.
Choose Brainloot when
Game teams and makers who want kanban plus momentum loops (Hand, Focus, XP) and Unity Scene pins.
Trello still fits when
Lightweight personal boards, simple checklists, and Power-Up heavy general collaboration.

FAQ
Is Brainloot a Trello clone?
No. Boards and cards will feel familiar, but Brainloot is built around Hand-first focus, light gamification, and game-engine deep links - not Power-Ups.
Can I migrate from Trello?
Brainloot is in early beta. Capture your active work as cards in a guild workspace, then use Hand/Focus for day-to-day shipping. Deeper import tooling may expand as the product matures.
