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) 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-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.

Took 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.

Would love to see what kind of dev platform/technology you use to build trello, specifically the scaling challenges.

The team wrote a blog post describing their tech stack last year: 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.

Shared file descriptors are bad mojo.
