FWIW, Trello didn’t launch with an API. It’s something we added in the first few months after launch. Just about everything goes through the API now since the mobile apps also use …

It’s true that Trello never supported IE8, but we never promised or intended to add IE8 support. We wanted to support the browsers of today and tomorrow, which was IE9 at launch.

That rarely happens in our experience. With our internal board, we know who is working on what and in what area of the code. Plus, all code is reviewed by someone working in the sa…

Everyone runs dev environments locally and tests. A dev environment is really easy to set up with mongo and node. Occasionally, we’ll put stuff on a staging environment if we want …

It was a joke. =)

er, by stable branch, i mean stable _channel_. or whatever channel.

When it's nobody's job, nobody does it. Any developer COULD do it, though.

If there are necessary API changes, we just need to push updates to the API ahead of time. The API needs to be stable and backwards compatible anyway for the mobile apps (and all t…

Yup. More about the tech stack here http://blog.fogcreek.com/the-trello-tech-stack/

Right. The there is only one version of the API. Multiple clients.

I hope Doug writes a more technical post about the multi-client build/release process. We have unit tests for the whole API and very few automated tests for the front-end. Client b…

Yes, this was in perceived rendering time, and yes, the trade-off was worth it. We kept the async rendering stuff localized so it doesn't complicate the app much.

trello.com, a.k.a. the "desktop" version, is device-agnostic so that it will actually work on any just about any laptop, smartphone, or tablet. You're getting the same code on ever…

Trello does not support IE8. That line is not in production. I just wanted to show you how to add support if you needed it.

It's true that self-closing, non-void elements are not valid. With gzip, it's probably not even worth the savings in size. I know it's bad and we shouldn't do it and it will probab…

Ah, well copy protection is definitely not a concern for us, since we serve the raw TTF alongside the other formats. The fact that the WOFF file was about 30% smaller than the TTF …

Awesome. This approach can definitely work for lots of people. We default to WOFF because it's essentially just a slightly more compressed OTF file, it's something all browser vend…

That's... awesome! We needed something custom for Trello, but I can see font awesome being super useful for getting things off the ground. Icon fonts are so much easier to work wit…

That's what the Trello team is trying to do on the public Trelo Development board. https://trello.com/board/trello-development/4d5ea62fd76aa113...

Trello technically has support for downlevel versions of IE, but only through Google Chrome Frame.

Now that the API is 'done', data export will be coming soon. https://trello.com/card/board/data-export/4d5ea62fd76aa11360...

Data export is at the top of the 'In Progress' list of the Trello Development board: https://trello.com/card/board/data-export/4d5ea62fd76aa11360... Now that the API is 'done', it …

From the article: "Our developers bleed all over MongoDB, WebSockets, CoffeeScript and Node."

The blue icon means you're an admin of the board (or organization). The green/yellow/grey icon means you're online/idle/offline.

Thanks! We're glad you like it and found it easy to use.
