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/…

It's a database, but you don't talk about SQL. Will we have an SQL API?

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!

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…

Love the "all the things" suggestion, we'll definitely look into that. Webhooks & exports are on the way. User assignments/permissions are definitely going to be improved. Great idea :)

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…

Half ;) Sorry for the delayed response! Good idea with the status bar. If you refreshed the page the collection should be imported. We're working on fixing that.

Are you still having trouble with the fields?

I registered, logged in, tried to add a new collection. When I want to open the new collection, it shows me a "something went wrong" page. Doesn't seem very stable yet ...

Hi, thanks for letting us know. It was an issue with scaling (HN kind of took us by surprise :) it should be fixed now! Sorry for the late response!

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

That's a great idea, we're definitely working on expanding the number of integrations. Watch this space!

We'll provide a REST API :)
