I registered and here is my feedback after using it for 10 minutes:

- I find the interface awkward to use on a laptop(windows 10), scrolling on the touchpad zooms and the touchscreen does nothing, probably best with a mouse.

- Bulk operations actually make you go thought the items one by one. I would prefer it to be able to select a few items and set the same value for all of them(and delete or add dependency).

There is a lot of missing functionality that I expect from a paid app: markdown, checklists, attachments in the description, exports(both as an image and xls/doc with descriptions), real time collaboration, customization(modify status workflow, add custom fields), api/webhooks.

Overall I don't see myself using it.

Thanks for trying it out and for the really useful feedback.

I'll look to make improvements in some of the areas you mentioned. Right now at least, I'm just targeting individual users who don't require collaboration. I realize that many users have requirements that go beyond that, but I'm going to focus on handling the simplest use cases well to start.
