It’s Trello’s Cake Day!

A year already since Trello was launched? It hardly seems possible. In celebration we thought we’d slice you off a hunk of stats about Trello for your enjoyment. Make a wish!

Let’s look at the numbers…

You guys have been busy.

You have created 14,581,962 cards. That doesn’t include the auto-generated welcome board cards. Those are actual cards you created. That’s like 40,000 cards a day. You have made 777,000 boards. You’ve made 717,337 accounts. We hit 500,000 in July, so it’s going even faster these days. Across all those accounts there have been 103,000 organizations made.

How many is that per minute? That’s…

  • 640 actions per minute
  • 80 new cards per minute
  • 3.5 new boards per minute
  • 2.6 signups per minute

The Trello Team Grew

In the last year we’ve added several new people to the team so we can continue development on several fronts. That lets us focus on new frontiers like mobile apps, and push forward on new features on the web. Yeah, and still fix bugs as fast as we can too. Like this, which just happened this morning:

The team loves to squash bugs lightning fast.

Features digest

In the last year we’ve added:

  • A better iPhone app with push notifications
  • An all-new Android app
  • Card covers, images on the front of cards
  • Drag and drop files uploads from your desktop
  • Subscribe to cards, lists, boards to get notifications
  • Ability to copy cards and boards
  • A simple “my cards” page, so you can see all your cards across boards
  • Desktop notifications
  • Google Drive integration
  • Better search
  • Ability to edit comments
  • And hundreds of bug fixes, little improvements, and speed and stability work.

If you’re curious about this sort of thing, one of our most popular blog posts is this one about Trello’s technology stack. See how we are able to quickly deploy fixes and new features.

And lastly, we’ve said it before, but it always bears repeating. Thanks to all of you who have been using Trello and telling your friends and workmates about it. It’s hard to express how gratifying it is for the team to watch people get real value out of a product they have spent many hours sweating and laboring over. It’s what it’s all about in the end–it makes work meaningful for all of us–so thanks again.

  2. Opps, I mean Happy Birthday. You guys are doing a great job and I love Trello, though I am finding it hard to get others in my org to use it(they don’t seem to like to improve workflows, they still use paper for nearly everything). My wife is using it to give me jobs, so there are some negative points to it. ;)

    By the way are you making a windows 8 app?

  5. Congratz! Thank you Trello team for bring us such a wonderful tool. It is a life changer.
    Can’t wait to see multi-lauguage version available! Of cause I am talking about Chinese version :D

  6. I love Trello!

    In fact, tomorrow my team has asked me to give a tutorial on it (to highlight all the key features and how it can help us with work, projects collaboration etc.) Yep, I somehow convinced them abt how useful it is.. but it wasn’t too hard, considering how intuitive Trello really is.

    Keep up the good work! =)

  8. Hi Guys, happy birthday to you! Be proud of making the best web based productivity tool around.

  11. Awesome app thanks for your hard work!!!

    How about a channel on IFTTT.com, that would be cool and really useful.

  12. Trello is awesome! So much so that it is a featured in the upcoming iPad app, ShowPlan, the Premier Production Design, Planning, and Reference App for Artists, Musicians, Directors, Choreographers, Musicians and Stage Managers. It is in Beta. We are putting it to the test tonite at Bake’s Place in Seattle (Bellevue). (Alexa Weber Morales – Latin Jazz) Plan your Show today with ShowPlan (and Trello)!

  13. Hi,

    First of all, congratulations! It’s a wonderful work you’ve been doing. We started using Trello on our company and it helped us a lot.

    Just curious about your database size… you said +- 14 millions cards… but how about the “acitivity” number? and comments number?
    I’m curious because comparing Trello to others apps i used once (social kind and project mngt kind) i find out to be incredibily fast. I read your tech-stack and i’m really impressed about your speed.

    []‘s,

  14. Trello is wonderful! It’s revolutionized how we keep track of our busy office’s tasks. 3 of our departments have starting to use Trello as their primary organizational tool in the last 3 months, and many more are hearing rumors of “that Trello thing that everyone seems to be using”. Thanks for all your work. It is hugely appreciated.

  15. Happy Birthday guys and thanks for making a great product that actually fits in with Agile Software development!

    Oh, and thanks for the mention! 30 mins for testing, fixing and deploying a bugfix – great stuff!

  17. Great work!! nice design, and ultra-responsive.
    BTW, how do you keep it working and growing, without ads or paid plans? what are future plans for that matter?
