It's quite lovely but I personally can't stand the domain. First impression: people are launching new Perl projects in 2017? I know that's goofy and utterly subjective, but it was still my initial thought.

Hehe for what it's worth as a Perl developer, I read that as ".ProjectManagement" but I can see your point. At ZipRecruiter we're launching stuff all the time. Builtinperl.com lists some more people chugging on quietly with Perl :).

As for the submission itself, it looks pretty good though I'm having a few navigation difficulties on my phone. My mom has been looking for a one stop todo/task/chat/trello solution so it's pretty timely that this showed up. I'm not sure that copying Slack's UI is the most cohesive way to integrate chat into the App but I can see why that would seem like an appealing choice.

Wow, this is incredible.

I'd love to know the following things:

1) Did you just "build it and hope they will come" because it looks like a lot of work?

2) How many of you worked on it and how long did it take you; the finish seems very high (with a few very small weirdnesses - e.g. it stopped allowing me to add new items to a checklist for some reason until I reloaded, in safari the tab crashes when switching from Kanabn view to List view).

3) What's it built in, backend and frontend wise?

4) Do you have funding?

5) I've always wanted Trello to allow me stacked lists within one column for various things (like mental models -> http://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/mental-models/), probably low on your list but for me it would be exceptional.

Thanks!

Wow, this is so much better than Trello. You implement exactly what's missing: a "planning" view (Trello's card view sucks so much) and task tracking. Congratulations.

However, in order to jump there I'd need an import/export feature. Import because I can't manually add the hundreds of cards and comments I have in Trello. Export because, well, you're a startup and I want to know that if you shut down in the future at least I can export my cards and not lose data.

Are those things planned?

Edit: As general feedback, what I'm missing the most from the product are keyboard shortcuts and a sidebar to move quickly between projects.

Thanks! I would be happy to answer.

1) More like build it and post in HN :D (just kidding) But we are a product oriented company so we definitely do more development than marketing.

2) We are a small team of 5, it took us ruffly 2 years of development to get Ora where it is today.

3) Backend is python frontend is angular.

4) We are self funded our other app http://protosketch.io pays the bills at the moment.

5) This seems pretty cool, I will add it as a feature request.
