#412Finally, a tool that isn't Plan[0] with a daily planner that lets me schedule my TODO list into my calendar. I've been waiting for years. Will definitely check this out OP. [0]: https://getplan.co
Thanks

#413This looks great! I'm definitely trying it out. My only feedback for you is this: Charge more. You're undercutting yourself a lot by just charging $6 per user. At the very least double that to $12 and it would still be a great price for the value you're offering.
Disagree with this. Companies like Microsoft, and Zoho provide these types of tools as part of a broader subscription. For $5/user, I can get email, MS Teams, cloud storage, a tool similar to this, plus tons more. Why would I pay $12/user just for this tool?
Because no indie dev can compete with big co when it comes to pricing. It’s just a race to the bottom.
Where you have a chance to compete is by offering a differentiated service like q boutique company.
I don’t want to get customers that will complain about paying an extra $6. These are the people that will complain about minor things and just cause trouble. Raising prices will get rid of these problematic customers. People that really see the value of a bespoke solution will still pay for it

I really like the positioning of "a project management suite for solos and small teams". That to me is very appealing because these don't really exist very well. Most project management tools are designed for tons of people. You might be able to make them work for a solo or small team, but they tend to be focused on larger teams, because as mentioned previously, those tend to be the customers spending the most money…
I don’t have a ton of value to add since the parent comment did a wonderful job of laying things out. I wanted to mention that I also perked up and paid closer attention when I saw that this was designed for solos and small teams. I’ll definitely be giving a try. Thank you for sharing!
It seems like the angle "designed for solos and small teams" works great. I'll consider emphasizing this even more on the website.

In reality this looks far too basic to actually be a todo spec for a reasonable productivity app. ie basic functionality I personally look for that I don’t think this would support would include: * Projects with hierarchies * Reminder dates * Tags and contexts * Multi-Step tasks
Hierarchcies are handled by 3.2.15 ( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545 ), and I suspect that could be leveraged to handle multi-step tasks; reminder dates are handled by VALARM in 3.6.6 ( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545#section-3.6.6 ). Tags could be stored in comment properties ( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545#section-3.8.1.... ), but there's probably a better way already in…
Fair enough - I stand corrected! It does look like that could probably handle those things.

#416Just signed up. Feedback so far:
- Specify what counts as "symbols" in a password (a = sign apparently does not).
- When you click rename on a "section" (a column in the kanban board), I suggest focus the text box in the modal so the user can start typing immediately).

#417The Privacy Policy [1] only covers what is defined as "Personal Data". What about the data created by users themselves? E.g. Tasks/cards created by users.
Is user-generated data private enough? I know Trello, Asana, etc. are widely used by businesses, but that is after many b2b guarantees about privacy, defined through legal agreements. For everyone else, it's what you say in Privacy policy document.
Bonus: If the data is end-to-end encrypted, you won't even need to get legal involved. It is a big feature in itself, but it's worth considering in the interest of future opportunities.

#418Just signed up. Feedback so far: - Specify what counts as "symbols" in a password (a = sign apparently does not). - When you click rename on a "section" (a column in the kanban board), I suggest focus the text box in the modal so the user can start typing immediately). Apart from this, it looks great and I'm going to try it out a bit.
Thanks for your helpful feedback. We'll work on these issues shortly.

#419I ran an open source project management system for years and I'll say: Good luck. In short, everyone has their own dreams, preferences, (perceived)needs, and workflows and they are usually unwilling to tweak their own approach and would rather have a tool that fits them. They may be right that their "needs" are truly needs instead of just preferences but either way, you end up with a swarm of nasty little variations…
> I wish Trello had intercard dependencies and per-checklist item due dates
Intercard dependencies may be covered by a power-up[1].
Per-checklist item due dates were added in the last couple years[2].
