I'm genuinely surprised at how tiny Trello is. I guess if enough of your users are paying and your overhead is low, it really doesn't matter.
How many employees?

Trello hits 12M users, launches Power-Ups platform

Re: Trello hits 12M users, launches Power-Ups platform
#12My biggest beef with Trello is lack of multiple account support. For example if you use it in your home life (as their blog greatly encourages), and also want it for work (as their business model greatly encourages) then you'll want distinct accounts. Without distinct accounts, you get a mixing of the data, permissions, where it is accessed from, notifications, email sent by them, makes board admin harder etc.
While you can try some hacky alternatives in a browser, they are a pain, confusing and a poor workaround. On mobile you are completely screwed, unless you want to log out and log back in each time you want to switch accounts. (You do have a long cryptic passphrase which makes this even worse?)
Google has shown for years how to get multiple accounts right. Why does no one seem to learn? (Yes, Dropbox I am looking at you too.)

#13Why do power-ups inconsistently change the markdown for Github links?
When you don't have power-ups enabled, it will shorten all Github links and add a nicer format to certain types but when you do have the power-ups, it no longer shortens Github links at all but adds the octocat to the beginning.
While having power-ups can be nice, the added inconsistency is a bit off-putting. It would be great to shorten and format all of the links in the same fashion across all boards regardless of whether or not you have power-ups enabled on that particular board.

Google doesn't get multiple accounts exactly right across app boundaries. For example, the links to view a Google Groups discussion is completely broken when you're in gmail on a non-primary account (it attempts to load the link with your primary account, which won't have access, and switching to your secondary account drops the link to the group).

I really hope that was a joke on your part. If there is one thing that was irritating it was how google would mix up and connect various accounts at random for no particular reason.

Sometimes. I find that ~90% (number from no where, I know..) links between apps usually work correctly. It's really really noticeable though when you open calendar from work gmail and I'm looking at my family calendar. Using the account switcher from that point is really easy, but it's very jarring when it doesn't do what you expect by default.

#17Awesome that this hit front page. Thanks! But I think the more interesting link for the HN crowd is this one: How to build a Trello powerup: https://developers.trello.com/power-ups/samples Sample github repo: https://github.com/trello/power-up-template
I'm a huge fan of Trello and before that, Fogbugz. Thanks very much!

#18I love the idea, but is the ability to display gifs really all that important in the context of what they intend this to be used for?

Dont try to separate your youtube and gmail account, I have created 6 google+ pages overall and I lost all my playlists and watch history for years, but now I can comment on a video on youtube!

On Firefox mobile you can have one account logged in in normal tabs and another in private tabs.
