Acunote ( http://www.acunote.com/promo ) is still better (which I'll admit is kinda an unfair comparison, given this was made in only 48 hours). Managing an agile backlog is possible in acunote. And it is free for up to 7 users (startups will be able to go a long way before having to pay). Also acunote makes sure you don't have to reload the page most of the time (even though Splendid's reload is very fast). I'd real…

> Acunote is still better. To be fair, I suspect Acunote may be just a little bit older than 48 hours old. ;) Splendid Bacon looks pretty awesome considering.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Edited to make this clearer.

Played around with it for a bit. Are you considering any to do list functions?

Maybe not right now. Lot of people, us included, want manage their todos in Things or similar todo app.

However, we need to think this through.

Everybody else has given the feedback I would. But I can't help but re-give the praise, amazing achievement for 48 hours.

Thank you! We're humbled by the very positive response.

Firstly: I think you've done a great job for 48 hours. That's an awesome inspiration. Secondly: what is the purpose of the random characters (e.g. %, 2) on the front page and elsewhere? I found the characters on the front page to be somewhat unbalanced, especially the comma. Once I tried the demo, I thought they might be indicating keyboard shortcuts, but nothing happened (firefox 3.0, crunchbang linux). I'm not sure…

Glad you like it!

I'm sorry to hear that the site doesn't render properly on Firefox 3.0. We are using @font-face and the Pictos icon set for the icons, and only newer browsers support it.

Here's what it actually looks like: http://skitch.com/jcxplorer/d5hdh/splendid-bacon

I've been up for about 24 hours now, and even though I was exhausted from all the coding, I'm feeling great now!

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.

Damn, there goes my shot at asking you for the code so we can run it internally at my job :(

Is there a way to "complete" a project? Am I missing something?
