Are you an avid Trello user? Do you miss better support for calendars and events? Planyway can help you bring together both worlds - cards of Trello and Google calendar events.
Planyway is, at the time, Google Chrome add-on which works magic on your Trello boards. It is able to integrate any iCal capable calendar with Trello cards.
Planyway adds following visual improvements to Trello:
- Drag-and-drop any Trello card or create them right inside the calendar
- Use multiboard view to choose the boards you want to display on your calendar
- Sync it with third party calendars
- Use the same shortcuts and filters as in Trello
- Use vertical perspective to see all the hours in a day
Some of the functions are available in pro version only.
Phone app is in the works too.

Let's see if everything promised above really works as advertised. The steps to make it work are:

Give the needed permissions to the addon.

Other Goodies
You can import and export iCal enabled calendars
Google calendar 2-way syncing is a payable feature.
Conclusion
Planyway is a great tool which really pushes your Trello boards to another level.
Pro features cost $5 per month. It is a reasonable price in my opinion.
Are you tempted to try it out? Let me know your opinion.
