When I signed up, I got an error saying the password had to contain more than 6 characters. It was 24 characters long. I guess the problem was that the password contained spaces, and the first word was less than 6 characters long. Otherwise, this looks like a great product!

Thanks for bringing that up. We should change the rules to allow that.

Looks awesome, but the landing page takes a really long time to load on my phone - at least 40 seconds or so. On desktop it also feels a bit slow, but it's not nearly as bad.

We are planning to add lazy loading in a future update to fix that. Right now the entire app loads so that you can see the landing page and then never even enter the app itself.

Testing right now, feels very snappy. May I ask the tech stack? Also, you guys are probably trying multiple business models.. I'd say that a free tier for small teams (like Trello, bitbucket) would be super interesting, if you can still make money from the big players (a la github).

Tech stack is AngularJS for the frontend with Python (Jango & Tornado) for the backend.

If it was up to me I'll make it completely free but somebody has to pay the bills. Right now limit for the free team is 3 users. We might up that a bit in the future once we feel more financially confident.

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…

That is a good point! We have import from Trello, but no exports yet. I will add that to our product backlog. We will add more extensive keyboard support in a future update.

Hi uffo, where's the import feature? I couldn't find it.

By the way, I really liked your onboarding. Ora is more complex than other tools (since it is many tools in one) but you make a good job of explaining stuff without being too much "in your face"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Serious question, why would you change?

AngularJS is great but not without flaws. (cough..watchers) We are either going to jump to Angular 2/4 or React

If you can spare the time, would love to hear about the decision making process when you do, if you are open to blogging about it :)

It looks really great. It would be nice if 2-factor authentication was standard (startup/professional) feature, now it's enterprise only.

Good point! We might rethink that.

2 Factor Authentication File encryption

Should not be a Enterprise only feature, it shouldn't be a feature at all it should be standard.
