Looks slick. Personally, I think online boards like trello are pretty good at this. (The landing page does not seem to communicate advatages compared to boards that well?)
However, I could totally see some people liking this (perhaps less clutterred?) approach more.
Regarding online boards - they provide a really nice overview, but you need to watch the number of cards carefully. Once the individual columns start being scrollable, this is usually the point where things start to get hard to find (which column should I scroll? Plus the multi-line narrow titles are difficult to quickly skim through, etc.)
Also, archiving cards usually means they get hidden somewhere, completely outside the flow of the columns => you don't do this much with things you might need again => the columns stay long and unreadable.
So while the birds-eye view provided by boards is great in some circumstances, there are scenarios where they get unreadable quickly (like they did for me/our team in the past).
