is this it? http://rm.bettermeans.com/projects/bm

Yes! How did you find it?

FYI, the columns on that page run into and obscure each other when you shrink the browser size (in Safari 5). This starts to happen well before 1000 pixels.

tbh, the project looks good enough to be launched. throw up a landing page NOW and take advantage of being on the front page :)

Quickly make a form on your website to gather our email addresses. Email all of us in a month and we'll make great beta users for you. Do this very quickly so that you can get as many email addresses as possible from the many people that will see you on the home page. You're the top story right now.

Here's the form. If you're interested in getting an email when I launch http://bettermeans.org/front/?page_id=408

You're on the frontpage of HN, where is your landing page that explains what your app is about and captures our e-mail adresses? You don't have long before you lose your frontpage position!

We don't yet have a landing page. Bettermeans is an open democratic project management tool. It allows people to work together on a project with a meritocratic governance as opposed to command and control.

Stop coding and spend 1-3 days on your launch plan, brainstorm some marketing and PR ideas, cook up some inspiring screenshots, etc. Not having a landing page now is REALLY FREAKIN' SCARY.

Interesting. Looks a bit like pivotal tracker. See for yourself: http://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/482# http://rm.bettermeans.com/projects/bm/dashboard

Giving the benefit of the doubt I would suspect that comes from using some sort of javascript library and one of the published themes.
