Very polished, I'm impressed! It seems like everyone ends up recreating a PM or todo tool at some point. It makes me wonder if there could be a world where we have a standard protocol/api and then anyone can bring their own preferred interface?

Looks awesome! Is it possible to sync the calendar with iCloud and Google? If yes, both ways? We have shared calendars in our family and don't want to use an external app to see whats up but happy to the planning in upbase ofc.

Google Calendar is our top priority on the roadmap. And we aim for 2-way sync.

I love this and would love to try this out. My question is, you say, there are 2 lists for the free users. What exactly are "lists" in your app? ____ On a different note, I always long for an app that is designed for the solo user for personal needs only. Most people, including myself, have to use for work what their org uses for task management. But an app designed specifically for solo users would be great. No need…

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Lists in Upbase are like projects in other apps. We plan to have an option for you to turn off all team collaboration features, so it'd be clutter-free.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Why not use “we built it” instead? You don’t want to give your teammates a credit?

I think people want to get connected with a specific person rather than a team. It feels more personal.

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.

Better uptime https://betterstack.com/better-uptime has done it and built amazing product using this initial money. It makes sense for small bootstrapped teams.

Yeah, I read a ton of AppSumo launch case studies before I decided to run this campaign. It does help a lot.

I manage all of my personal stuff inside Upbase: Books to read, Places to visit, Movies to watch, etc. so I think you can use it to manage yours.

I am looking at decent PM tool myself. To the point that I am entertaining the idea to do it myself as a side project. Reason I am not using any of available offering is simple: unless someone puts a gun to my head I never buy software that does not have perpetual license and that can not be hosted on my own premises. I found some piece of software that I can host and it gets me limping along but not very happy with…

I understood your concerns. But finding great self-host apps might be challenging though, since they're rare.

i think most founders who have done the appsumo deal agree its a scam that only benefits appsumo. their banner is distracting. would drop them asap

AppSumo can be really useful for early-stage startups to get some initial traction quickly, since they have a large customer base.
