BUG: I can't read the terms of service or the privacy policy unless I log in. :-)

Update: I can cut and paste the policy and TOS urls and they work in a different browser window. For some reason, when I am at the registration page for the beta and I click these links at the bottom it sends me to a login page.

Hey! Lucas, another Zenkit team member here! We're trying to answer your questions as quickly as possible! Price: we'll use a freemium model, starting in Q1 2017. Pricing will be similar to other tools in the market. Trello/imports from other apps: we have one click imports for Trello and Wunderlist, & working on more. We're also in beta with Zapier. You can see our Trello comparison here: zenkit.com/trello Unstable/…

Why freemium? In my opinion, a 14 day trial, and then $5 per month pricing is good enough. Sometimes I don't understand why so much software is given away for free.

I'll happily use it for free, of course, but it seems like value is being given away without a compelling reason.

Most business people get that our vendors have to pay to keep the lights on. Because this product enhances productivity, I doubt many business people would decide not to use this product, simply because it's paid. If so, they're probably not going to be in business long anyway.

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

Nice, thanks! I'll likely play with Zenkit some more next week and will undoubtedly have some feedback for you as I've been looking at a lot of project management tools recently.

Thanks for letting us know! The fix will be released with a new version (soon). For now opening them in a new tab will work :)

It would be great to have a more detailed calendar view (ie, the ability to assign tasks to a certain hour, not only setting the due date) and maybe a sync option with google calendar. Also, keyboard shortcuts.

Hiya, great ideas! Love the calendar one. We're working on all of those things, and they're on the roadmap to be released in the next couple of months (or weeks in some cases).

I didn't know how badly I needed the mind map view until I saw it. Re-creates how I think about planning complex tasks with multiple dependencies.

We're glad to hear it!! The mind map will be released soon, so keep an eye out :)

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: So…

Hi, Peter from Zenkit here. Thanks so much for the suggestions!! Love the"all the things" idea. Webhooks and APIs will be released alongside the iOS app next month. And we'll definitely have to think about the sharing/user permissions etc..

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…

Interesting ideas! Would setting up a label field called 'tags' & allowing new labes to be created/ multiple labels to be selected work (you don't have to use them as kanban lists). Or just set up the field that contains 'inbox' and 'learning' to allow multiple labels? If not please get in touch to explain a little nore, if you like hello@zenkit.com

Re: marking done and archiving - we're working on dependencies & automation, so it'll be possible soon!

Have you looked at integration with taskwarrior? A bidirectional sync for tasks would be very handy. Look at asanawarrior for an example.
