Yet another project management service? I'm amazed out how often these pop-up promising that they are the now "simplest" project management solution. Where's the differentiation? Other than the UI and a couple custom fields, these are no different than Basecamp, Producteev, GoPlan, etc. etc... With that said, I think it looks and functions great. Very user-friendly. Would I use it? Probably not. My team seems to hate…

Thanks for the feedback! We made it since it solves our own problem: how to see who is doing what at a glance

I assume I missed something obvious: how can I add a task and an estimate duration ? Or isn't it possible ?

We don't have tasks at the moment :(

No worries - I'm just asking :)

So does the app allow to share status between people working on a project and see a timeline of projects ?

I can't sign up from the 'try the demo' link. I tried changing my demo account, but it wouldn't let me (the existing password was blank, it complained). After a while I figured out I needed to logout and sign up again.

Sorry about that. We didn't have enough time to polish the demo -> real account switch.

> Hm, I think I just might call my next project Yummy Maggots... It's okay to offend people if offending people furthers your goals and strategy. Typically though, if the offense is tangential to your product and doesn't polarize people, or get one group really excited, or target your customerbase while turning off other people, then it's a bad idea. So, "Yummy Maggots" could work for... I don't know, some sort of gr…

Seems like a better name than Splendid Bacon.

Cheers! Just a heads up :)

Great work! Only thing is I'd have something on the top left to go back to the front page. It took me a little while to find the home icon on the top right. Is the gantt chart from a UI library, or created from scratch?

Thanks! It's true that the dropdown menu is not really optimal at the moment. We'll work on that!

The timeline was created from scratch since there wasn't any solution out there that was good enough for us.
