A couple buddies and I wrote a web app to help with your personal backlog. It is an agile take on traditional task management tools. Basically, we found that most of the systems and apps we were using at our day jobs weren't fitting in with our work style, so we wrote our own. Let us know what you think.

Thanks.

I like it. Too many task managers are weighed down by feature bloat. I've ruminated on a similar style task manager for some time now.

Any plans on integrating it with Google Apps and selling it in the Apps Marketplace (http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/)? Google Apps is a phenomenal value for small businesses, but is currently in sore need of a decent task manager.

Make more of the text for the image on the landing page visible. You have one shot to show people what your product does.

Not a bad idea, I'll check it out.

Yeah this is kind of an inside joke that should be taken back inside.

Edit: It has been taken down.

I think you're asking for money too soon. I don't really have a good idea of how your app works or if I would even use it. I'm not going to pay $24 just to find out if it does anything worth while for me.

If you sign up and don't pay there is a limited account, but maybe we should make that a little more clear. Thanks!
