Looks very good and really impressive if it was built all by your lonesome !! Not trying to be pessimistic, but doesn't notion give you all these already ? Or did I miss something here ?

Upbase has a completely different way of structuring all the tools it has to offer. Each tool has its own place, separated from the others. And that creates clarity. In a nutshell, it's more organized and way easier to get started with than Notion.

I was trying this and looks good, but I can not edit what time a task is done, when on week view, which makes it impossible to setup the time a task could be done at at a future date.

Also if I create a task on a weekly planner view, it should I believe show up as a task which "needs to be done" . It seems to not exist, unless I am in weekly view.

Because of this missing functionality or my ability to figure it out I cant use it - I think its a simple expectation my end though. Just offering feedback, looks great tho.

Great to hear! I know a very meticulous person about to start an EV auto company and this looks like the perfect fit, and I’m 100 percent serious.

It’s a one man idea show with a web of potential add in SMEs on a limited basis but a large volume of subcontracting evaluation and go forward structures for supply chain.

Hope he gets his head around this and finds it a fit. Thank you for sharing. Every tool in its right place helps the shop work efficiently!

Immediately turned off by the AppSumo lifetime deal. Seems to be where projects go to draw in a bit of cash before they fail or get sold off. Lifetime deals on products that have a real recurring lifetime cost rarely work out, and are an immediate red flag, especially for a new project.

Being on AppSumo helps us gain initial traction and feedback to improve the product at a faster pace, since we're not VC-backed.

Fair trade off, I think perfect world best practices are nice, and so is finding free money on the ground. Both pretty infrequent day to day.

Does it support Markdown? That's what I find lacking in many of these PM tools - they either use some custom, complicated markup, or wysiwyg, which makes it hard to format text properly and copy and paste text.

I'm a solo founder working on a project management tool which supports markdown. Take a look. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We have 3 developers to build the app.

That's not an "I built it" story then. "I was dissatisfied with ... so I made other people build it"

Apologize for the misleading words. The right ones should be "I built it with our team"
