#72We use https://svyft.com/ and https://trello.com/ at office. This looks smilar but will try it for a small upcoming project. Good work.

#73How is this different to trello?
Hi garrensmith. I'll admit that there are some similarities, but our focus is very different. What you see today is perhaps closer to Trello than what the experience of Someone.io will be a few months from now. We have heard from many users who tell us that it is our design and attention to detail that they prefer over Trello. We know that won’t be the case for everyone, but there is plenty of demand for products tha…
If your aim is to provide a better team experience than Trello, then I don't think this qualifies as a MVP. It's not clear what those features are from this summary and trying out the product, EXCEPT the look & feel. It's definitely nicer than Trello IMHO. If that's the main differentiator you wanted to test at this stage, then I'd consider this MVP (and sounds like a great success, hitting #1 on HN). If not, I wish you would've waited a bit longer to include some of those key features.

This is how i read those points: 1. Our focus is to serve teams so in the near future, all of our new features will be directed towards teams. (btw which features of trello do you feel lack "focus on teams" ?) 2. Our visual design is better than Trello. 3. We will eventually bring in more "social" collaborative tools (any idea what these will be like?)
My feelings exactly. Right now it's Trello with a better visual design. The other features are unknown at this point.

#75I scanned over the product's landing page so it's possible that I missed it, but I think something that organizes task priority by color should also have some option for a color blind mode. I wish there was a way to demo the product without giving my email and company name.

#76This is a killer UI. Congrats. Once you get a live demo rolling I'm willing to bet you'll drum-up even more interest.

#77This looks awesome. But our company probably won't use it. And here's why. Committing to a new process or software is an investment of time and trust. When we choose something to use in our group, we want to know it's going to be there in a year or two, and still doing the thing we bought it for. Software you can purchase and install on your own servers / desktops does that. In fact, we'll choose one software package…
Hi Jaysonelliot, thanks for the terrific comment. It's really helpful for us to get this kind of insight. Onboarding your team to any software is a risk. Our focus on being the easiest and most engaging task manager is aimed at being the least risky. We want to remove as many of those hurdles for business users as we can through simplicity and making team members feel more interconnected. It's easy to say Google was…
For us, the preferable solution is to let us pay for it and install it ourselves.
For every Slack or Google that reaches mainstream adoption, there are a hundred smaller, often amazing companies, who don't.
Rather than rolling the dice on an all-or-nothing SAAS strategy that requires a big hit to get people to feel comfortable committing a whole organization, you can sell something people can buy, install, and own.
It doesn't mean you can't offer the freemium hosted option. What it does do is give you a chance to see organic growth in the early days. With subscription-based support services, you can even book more revenue — just the kind of thing a startup needs when they're looking for traction in the bootstrapped / angel funded days.

Chicken and egg problem, from the point of view of the end user it makes sense and I would have the same reaction, but then I think to myself, shouldn't we give a chance for a "Show HN" product/service to turn into a Slack or Dropbox? How do they get there otherwise? We'll never have new shiny things if we are skeptical by defaut.
That's why I advocate for selling software in addition to offering it as a freemium hosted platform. It's a lot easier to make the decision to use something you own than to commit an entire organization to a hosted solution that may not exist in a couple years, or may change to the point that it's no longer useful.

#79Is 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 :)
Hi waxjar,
In http://tasksinabox.com we use templates for this. You can instantiate a new project, which is a collection of tasks, from a template. That creates all the tasks, and from there on extend and customize as you wish.

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.
Just do it already without drama and stop busting our balls with this non sense.
