# Taskly: rebuilding Trello's Electron desktop shell

> Taskly is an offline kanban app whose Electron desktop shell was reconstructed from Trello's app.asar using REA. The analysis covers window inventory, geometry, IPC channels and preloads; the board interface and local document storage are new implementation work. A separate report records the investigated package and recovered shell details.
