Very good video and on-boarding! Looks ten time more useful then anything I've seen so far. The user interface isn't unitive, like I tried pushing the plus sign where I should have pushed enter. It needs tutorials!

With some more testing I found out it only has 1/5 of the functionality in the video. The overall experience is bad, like waiting several seconds after clicking somewhere and lagging animations.

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.

me too, since just after post. Commented it here, but no replies.

Sorry for all the troubel. These issues should be resolved now.

Also for f's sake, don't send me unsolicited "Getting Started" eMails! I don't understand why all those webapps think that this is a good idea. I don't want to read it, I have to find the unsubscribe button, have to click it, have to click ok and the website and have to confirm in a second eMail that I really want to unsubscribe. What kind of shitty UX is that? Would you like me to just click on Spam and tell GMail to block them for everybody?

Really cool. I'm a big Trello user, but it has some shortcomings so I'm always interested in new offerings.

Have imported one of my organisations and will work with a bit to see how this works out. The first thing that jumps out at me is the lack of Markdown support in the descriptions.

Also, why is there no select field / list option for custom fields?

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 busines…

Why not?

Once you get used to it and have all your people people of your recently created team using it as well, once you grow over the free threshold, you will most likely pay. In the long run I see freemium as better option.

14 day free trial usually drives me away from really trying the application, I may not have enough time to really see if this tool fits my team's need and I don't want to pay for something I don't use that much yet, no matter how small the amount.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

Yes. You can see it here: http://imgur.com/a/1soW3 If you just make the browser window small it will happen.

Oh! Thanks so much, I've sent it over to the developers. Would you mind sending your registration email address to info@zenkit.com (& mention your HN username)? It may be an account-related issue. Thanks again!

Cool! We found some limits in Trello too, which was part of the reason we started developing Zenkit. We're working on markdown support, as well as a couple of other fields ;)

What do you mean exactly by select field/list option? Do you mean select all items in a list in kanban?

Hi there, sorry about that. Double opt-in is required by law here. The welcome email is a short term solution that we built because our in app onboarding wasn't yet ready. As I mentioned before, HN and Product Hunt took us by surprise yesterday. We're working on a smoother UX for the sign process now :)
