Earlier quoted context omitted.

Such a dilemma, I can't imagine myself in your shoes. It must be nerve wrecking and life shattering!! Can't you just get a new throwaway email address and try the product and decide to keep or ditch it?

Why is this your first reaction? You really can't see why it would be better to have some sort of way to interact with the app before entering an email address?

It's a freaking email address. It won't take you more than 2 mins to setup and get over with it instead of moaning and bitching here.

Yeah I'm doubling down so the downvote goons can enjoy their field day to the fullest.

Is duplicating a project on the road map?

We've been looking for a tool with a good interface to use as a collaborative check list. Every checklist shares the bulk of its tasks + it has a few unique tasks per project. Duplicating the tasks by hand seems cumbersome.

If anyone has an alternative, it would be appreciated as well :)

Have you checked out:

Process Street; process.st

Asana; asana.com

Wasn't suitable for our use but sounds like these might help you.

I find it interesting that as a newly released product that is likely to hold sensitive information security seems to be lightly addressed. The only reference to anything you'd do to keep my data safe is this single paragraph under the Privacy Policy: "The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% se…

The quoted clause is part truism part obviousness. There is and never will be absolute security. Then they just state that they do their best - to the extent commercially acceptable - to protect the data (who doesn't?). I really don't see anything wrong here. If someone else promises you something else they're most likely either over-confident or lying. Or investing in their security more than their budget allows them to do.

Paired with liability clause, basically this reads to me (my personal interpretation) as "we'll try our best but don't trust us with anything you that you really value and can't afford to lose". Which is probably acceptable for teams with low or no secrecy requirements, although it probably won't fit a group with stricter needs.

Disclaimer: not affiliated by any means, just looked up few pages, found no demo, haven't bothered to sign-up, still have opinion (haha)

I would be more tempted to try this if there was a demo board that could be viewed and interacted with without having to sign up. I am wary of giving my email address before I can even see a basic example working.

You can, but the site has to pique your interest to make you bother to do so. Usually it's easier to just close the tab.

Cant use services that are free for work, if stuff is free there is no liability or even reason for the system provider to fix issues or problems. Provide a paid version.

Hi Callesgg, thanks for your comment.

i understand your point. A premium, paid solution is actually something we are going to be releasing before the end of the year so you can put your mind at ease on that one and feel free to test the product in the meantime.

Although the UI looks good, there are a few problems that are still keeping me from using it: 1. When two or more people are editing the same card's description, the description goes out of sync and ends up not saving either of the changes. 2. The UI doesn't feel very snappy -- it feels kind of slow. 3. The state field of a column has no other purpose right now than to mark it as completed so that cards end up moving…

Hi pookeh, thanks for your comment :)

This feedback is invaluable to us. We've been receiving a lot since this post hit No.1 this morning and the development team will be hard at work for the coming weeks implementing the best of the suggestions we have got.

Thanks!
