Trello down: Office organisation tool breaks in middle of workday
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Trello, the tool for organising tasks at work and elsewhere, has broken in the middle of the workday.
The company acknowledged that users might find the site and app slow, or that they might simply refuse to work at all. Some reported seeing just completely blank screens.
“Our engineering team is actively investigating this incident and working to bring Trello back up as quickly as possible,” Trello said.
“Users affected by this incident may notice that Trello is slow or completely unavailable in both the web and mobile apps.”
Trello allows users to create “boards” on which tasks can be added as cards. Those cards can then be edited, shared, as well as being a home for information, meaning that tasks can be tracked and monitored as teams work on them.
As such, it is a popular way for workplaces to keep watch on certain tasks, and get updates on how they are progressing.
But some people have also found a use for it in their personal or social lives, using it to organise everything from home chores to their social lives.
Trello posted to say that it was aware of the issue at 9.14am local eastern time, or 2.14 in the UK.
It said that it was working to get the service back online and would provide updates as it did.
