A tale of time zones and feature discovery in Jira
About a year ago, I wrote a feature for Jira during my 20% time that shipped in Jira 5.1. This feature notifies a user if their current time zone (as detected by their browser) doesn’t match the time zone they’ve set in their user preferences. Part of the reason I wrote the time zone detection […]

We get a lot of feature requests. A whole lot. Some of them are even pretty good. But there’s no way we can fit them all in Trello without ruining the simple, core experience we work really hard to maintain. That’s why we’re happy to announce the launch of Power-Ups.

Emoji and markdown everywhere in Trello
Markdown is a lightweight, human-readable markup language used for formatting text. It’s a simple way to add things like bold, italics, links, lists, paragraphs, headers, and images in blocks of text. Previously, we used Markdown for board and card descriptions and member bios. We’re happy to announce that you can now also use Markdown support in card comments and checklist items. And, so you can can get really expressive, we’ve added emoji support! That means you can use real images for smilies and emoticons like , , and everywhere in Trello.
