A tale of time zones and feature discovery in Jira

Introducing power-ups: calendar, card aging, and more
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.
