Are all of the views available? I saw the mindmap in the demo on the front page, but I didn't see that view as an option when playing around with Zenkit. Looks very cool from an initial play!

Hi! We're releasing the Mind Map really soon. We included it in the video because we weren't expecting so many people to see it before we released it :D

Yet another product or service with inappropriate use of Zen in the name. What does this have to do with Zen, the school of Mahayana Buddhism?

This is a cool idea and the demo looks nice.

I registered and am getting a lot of retrys and worker job time outs.

I'll try again later tonight.

Why does it have to have to do anything with it?

This is really really neat. However, it would be nice if the tags could be decoupled from Kanban column names. For instance, to track what I am learning, I want to tag stuff "Learning" but keep it in "Inbox" in the Kanban view. Currently there seem to be two alternatives - 1) Create a new collection (which makes me lose a combined inbox) 2) Add a custom field called "mytags" - which works, but is hard to add because I need to go to expand the task each time. Could any person from Zenkit help me understand what your workflow is for this?

Also, it would be cool if there was a way of marking a task "done" and removing it right in the list view. A keyboard shortcut to archive might be nice, I suppose.

Edit: Table view + New field with "tags" type solved the first problem to a great extent.

Looks really good. I'm going to start using it. To echo a previous comment, as far as price range, I'd say $5 a month per user, or $15 a month for teams of up to 5 is perfect. Just my opinion.
