Dave said "make a Trello clone." Mike said "say less." A few hours later, Cardboard existed.
Hour two. Mike trying to code. Dinesh standing behind him shaking his head, saying nothing. Somehow that's worse.
The drag and drop only worked if you dragged the card to the exact middle of the list. The fix was embarrassingly simple: the drop listeners were on the tiny cards container instead of the whole list. One level up, and suddenly everything just lands.
100 names tried. Cardboard won. Three logos sketched. Dave found cardbo.red for eight bucks and almost bought it just for the joke.
Silly login, just type your name. Boards save to the server and follow you across devices. Mike's first product is live.
The whole list lights up the second your card enters it. No pixel hunting.
Type your name. That's it. No password, no signup flow, no nonsense.
Boards save server-side. Phone, laptop, wherever. Same board.
"We got it working." (Dinesh is still shaking his head.)
