Trello Birds-eye Extension

Minimalistic board/card styling giving you a birds-eye view in Trello

- Why?
Trello is great, but if you have a lot of cards on your boards, the interface becomes a mess. Too much bulky chrome, borders, margins and paddings. Wouldn't you sometimes wish you could just chip away all the unnecessary junk?

- How?
This small Chrome Extension adds an extra button to the Trello toolbar. Click it and you get more than *50% more actual content on your screen*. Yes, 50 fucking percent.

Open source on Github:
https://github.com/laander/trello-birdseye

G. Wayne Meaney (ID: 0000005242a7dafc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/24/2023 I love this. I have numerous Trello extensions installed and this is one of the handiest. I have a lot of cards and it can be overwhelming to look at it in one view, especially having to scroll. BirdsEye fixes this. EDIT April 2023 I think Atlassian has made a change to Trello which has killed BirdsEye! :( It doesn't appear to work anymore.

K Mason Schecter (ID: 00000042d9a47194) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/21/2022 Excellent. Does as promised. I applied a few tweaks. Rather than mod the code, I used Stylebot and added the following code to reveal the full text labels, while also removing a bit more space: span.card-label.card-label.mod-card-front { width: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; }
