Wow, rough crowd. I like the interface. It's like a mix between Jira and Trello. More focused than Jira, with more structure than Trello. I don't really like Jira because of its kitchen sink approach. It tries to be everything to everybody with endless customization and options. It gives fifty ways to do everything and there's a different way to do any particular thing on every single page. As a developer, it annoys…

Thanks. I think you nailed exactly what we're trying to do in your second paragraph, but the trouble is we have had a hard time walking people through the product. And yes, very rough crowd

At first it sounded like it might be full blown project management like Basecamp, Jira, etc. But it's actually just really really basic To Do lists.

Thank you for your brutally honest feedback, this is great stuff! We're trying to work out all the kinks before we launch.

Your feedback tells us that our onboarding has quite a long way to go ;)

Thank you so much for taking the time.

Interesting concept. I was actually thinking about building something similar. Now I see just how hard it is. The problem is trying to take a complex system of tools; messaging, wiki, project management, dropbox, integrating it into a simple solution and more powerful solution.

Mobile Apps & Mobile Games are good examples to look at for their onboarding process. You have to win the user in 1.5 minutes.

Right! We're trying to simplify it as much as possible.

We just pushed some updates a few minutes ago. Would you mind taking a look at the new dash? I'd love to get your feedback.
