The approach with a separate timeline for opened embeds on the side makes a lot of sense. If skype had media embeds it would be so much more useful but having them on the side takes it even further. C…

I'd even argue that trello allows for too much things to be visible on one board if you are using it to visualize your software development process. Try to remove everything from your process board th…
