Trello Architecture by Brett Kiefer on Prezi. Building trello.com for multiple devices. We built Trello from the ground up to work on just about any device.
It’s not a simplified version with limited features, either. Trello responds to your device’s screen size and capabilities. It’s the same exact site and the same exact code; a consistent experience that looks, feels, and works the same everywhere. The Trello Tech Stack. Trello started as an HTML mockup that Justin and Bobby, the Trello design team, put together in a week.
I was floored by how cool it looked and felt. Since Daniel and I joined the project to prototype and build Trello, the challenge for the team has been to keep the snappy feeling of the initial mockups while creating a solid server and a maintainable client. The Initial Trello Mockup That led us toward a single-page app that would generate its UI on the client and accept data updates from a push channel. This is pretty far from any of the work we’ve done before at Fog Creek, so from a technical perspective Trello has been an adventure.
