So what separates this from Trello (which is an amazing (and also free) project? I don't really see anything that sets it apart, right off.

I haven't tried hackpad, but if hackpad can (now) be described as an open-source Trello, that would be great. That opens up the option for self hosting, even if it's on a VM like a Digital Ocean droplet.

I have tried both (kind of, only etherpad not hackpad).

They are not the same.

Seems http://libreboard.com/ is trying to be an open source alternative to Trello. (Found it as one of the first apps available on sandstorm.io)

Did libreboard ever quit ganking Trello's graphical assets? That was a real issue when I first saw it announced a couple of months ago.

More document oriented. And soon going to be open-source.

Trello is not a collaborative document editor
