I love Trello and use it all the time, but since we're beefing about it, I've got two main issues to share:

1. The search is awful. I won't really elaborate on this except to say it's often really hard to find stuff and if they did some UX research on this I think it could be much improved.

2. I intentionally avoid opening the notifications pane except in certain moments because opening it clears the "read" status of the notifications therein. This is an issue, because I haven't necessarily read or dealt with the notification. Therefore, I only open the notifications pane when I'm in a spot where I can feasibly deal with or record every single important notification that it's going to show me, otherwise, there's the risk that the notification will go unread (in the true, real-life sense) and thus be missed entirely.

All that said, bravo Trello, you're a great product.

My solution for point 2 is to refresh the page (assuming you're in the web version) before closing the notifications pane. It doesn't actually clear them until you close it, so this hackily works around the issue.
