Yes, I was trying to say that developing Trello is still really fun, even as it's getting bigger - we are starting to see some minor scaling challenges, but it's still a great time.
But we do use Trello to manage Trello, with a public dev board (https://trello.com/dev https://trello.com/dev) and also internal boards to track things that are not yet public or that are too granular to expose externally.
Uservoice has a neat and somewhat complex setup: http://www.uservoice.com/blog/founders/trello-google-docs-product-management/ http://www.uservoice.com/blog/founders/trello-google-docs-pr...
And there are a bunch of good articles about how people are using Trello; searching for 'How I use Trello' turns up a lot of ideas. That being said, it's not going to fit everybody every time.

- kevingessner 14y agoThe team wrote a blog post describing their tech stack last year: http://blog.fogcreek.com/the-trello-tech-stack/ http://blog.fogcreek.com/the-trello-tech-stack/ The biggest change since then is that Trello now runs on AWS, rather than colocated servers in NYC. But the software is the same.
- dodger 14y ago. . . and here's an example of an issue with scaling it up: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13770826/poorly-balanced-socket-accepts-with-linux-3-2-kernel-vs-2-6-kernel http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13770826/poorly-balanced-...
- tedunangst 14y agoShared file descriptors are bad mojo.
- Nowyouknow 14y agoTook a look at the dev board as a way to "demo" the service without signing up. It seems... overly complicated? Maybe I really do just need to sign up.
