Also, I have some feature requests. I should mention I'm already a fan of the product and will be trying it out for the next few weeks, and I'm also sure you're already developing some of these.

* Mega List View: Collections are great! But sometimes I like to see all the things and feel overwhelmed. I can do this in search for tags (search "in progress") but a combined collection list would be cool.

* Data Export: Sometimes I want to export my list, like if I'm traveling without internet for a week but would like to still work on things. A .CSV, .MD, or something text based would be nice.

* Webhooks: I'd like to post to a slack channel when a task is done

* Assignment of tasks (not collections): I have a collection with a lot of tasks, but want to assign a specific task to an employee without them seeing all the collection tasks. Perhaps an 'assigned to me' board? Or maybe I can link a task to a different collection?

Congrats on the launch! Very complete and well-thought from what I can see.

I assume you were not ready for HN #1 traffic, as I registered to start using on a real project of mine but faced some hiccups along the way of creating my own collection. I was able to create it and edit the settings, but right now as I try to access my recently created collection I only get: "Something went wrong, sorry about that! If this happens again, please let us know."

I will try later and I am in no hurry, but you should try to fix it asap. I logged in with the email on my profile if you need to check my specific case.

Good luck!

Looks very nice! I really would like to see a merge of features between Zenkit and Trello. If Zenkit keeps my Kanban synchronized with Trello, it's already possible to me use it. I haven't found yet if it has this feature.

Hi, Peter from Zenkit here! We've had a lot of trello fans asking for Zenkit synchronization so we built a one click importer. What features from trello would you like to see in Zenkit? Btw we made a comparison page here: zenkit.com/trello

Looks pretty interesting. The "typing" at the top of the page causes some movement of the page further down which makes reading the lower content annoying as it "bounces" up and down. Looks like it's due to the "typed" content wrapping to a third line for some of the phrases that are typed on mobile devices.

Hi! Siobhan from Zenkit here. We're fixing that now, thank you so much for pointing that out :)

Hah "Siobhan".....are ye Irish?

Just some things I noticed quickly. Some kind of progress or status bar could be added when doing an import. I've imported a CSV I exported from Jira and it just seems to be continuously importing with no idea on the status of it (how long is left, is it even still importing or has something gone wrong?)

Also when using the select box for the "Field Type" in the field properties pop up, the list is going below my screen and I cannot see the bottom items in that list.

You may want to allow the user activation page to work on mobile. I understand that the entire app is not ready for it but that one page would be important to allow.

When I receive such an email I always open it on my mobile.

Right now you end up on a page saying that the current device width is not supported.

Edit: It seem that my account was authorized even if only an error message was displayed.
