I am extremely curious about the motivation to spend incredible amount of time developing a tool that looks and does what Trello do for many years.

is the motivation purely business, to try catching a chunk of the same Trello user-base, or is it a try to make yet another task-board app that is believed by its created to be superior to the others already exist in the market.

I'm trying to understand the mindset of a developer starting such a gigantic project, and what does this developer hopes to achieve?

Please answer, if you may, in a way which is emotionally detached way, not to take the discussion to an unproductive path. Thanks
