Full disclosure: I was on the team who built this.

I really love how this turned out.

Seems cool. I like the dashboard design. Mind telling us what technology stack you chose to use?

It's a pretty basic Rails stack. We did for this year's Rails Rumble, so we've listed all the gems and libraries on our team page: http://r10.railsrumble.com/teams/kiskonians-dancing-in-lab-c...

Nice! It seems easy enough to use and the design is downright gorgeous.

What are your plans for this? I could definitely see myself paying for this.

Thanks for the compliments!

Due to the excellent feedback we've received, we are planning on commercializing this soon.

Incredible for a freelancer like me!

I just hope all this positive feedback doesn't result in crazy-ass pricing :)

This is perfect. With my team of 3 there couldn't be an easier way to do this. Thanks for this. Also killer design.

This looks really cool, and is designed beautifully. The only thing is that it id kind of featureless to be really useful for managing projects (read: even though I love the concept and execution, I wouldn't pay to use it yet). I do think that the design is beautiful and will probably make an excellent company dashboard on a big screen in the office. Add more project management tools, if you guys can merge help desk ticketing, bug ticketing, and to-do lists in a easy to use package I'm sold.
