I'm giving it a try (using the cloud version) and can't find how to assign someone or set a status to a task. Is it limited to the private beta?

You have to add a People Column to the Board in the top right corner, in which you can assign someone.

The private beta is refering to the versions before v0.1, when there wasn't a publicly hosted version.

This looks promising. I immediately went in and created a Workspace and then a Space (which I gave the same name because I was unsure what a Workspace is or a Space is), and then added some tasks with subtasks. Then I went to "Home" and it told me "No assigned tasks". Okay...can I assign tasks? I don't see a way. Looking at the roadmap, I see that "assignee" is a TODO, but does that mean the Home will be blank until…

Oh, I think "EMPTY" is the lack of a label? But I can't add labels, I also can't mark things as done. The screenshots seem more "complete". so either I'm missing something or I just don't have access to a lot of the "beta" features.

You have to add a Status Column. There you will be able to add labels. After that you need to group the tasks by that Status.

Hey Marcus! Super cool to see another fellow Minecraft-jumpstarted developer. I got into programming way back in 2013 with Minecraft mods and then Bukkit/Spigot plugins. > I decided to look for open Developer positions, to work with a team of experienced developers so I can learn even faster. Seeing as you're in Europe and not in the U.S. (with exorbitant tuition costs), I would actually recommend against skipping ou…

To add to your great points, if OP ever decides to immigrate elsewhere (not even talking about the US specifically, but pretty much anywhere outside of the EU), attempting it without a college degree can range somewhere between extremely difficult and impossible. Yes, even for high-earning fields like software development. Unless there are strong reasons not to do college, I would recommend to not skip it. Disclaimer…

An additional tip: College is not too hard, specially in colleges where you can choose to pursue easier subjects or less number of subjects in a semester when needed. This might give OP the flexibility to purse the startup/project in parallel with college if they want.

> I can confidently say that while experience in the industry is great (having worked part-time at a startup, as well as various internships during College), I think the knowledge gained from University classes is often underrated.

100% agree. Great advice. I never went to University, in my case for reasons that I prefer not to mention and it has been a constant source of regret. I wish I had a time machine.

Ahh, also lets me assign! Thanks!

Looks pretty awesome, definitely see this as a nice clickup replacements for small projects where clickup might be a little bloated/overkill. I really like the nesting, as that's often how my mind works and why I like notion-like things where you can build nested workflows. However, w/ clickup I feel you get nesting but it's often more like hyperlinks so you don't always get to see hierarchy and how things relate, wh…

Do you mind sharing an example of your hierarchy? I have a similar feeling with the separation of tablane's workspaces, I though about adding a discord-like workspace switcher.

I fully concur with everybody suggesting you to not skip a university education. As a basic example from this project, fundamentals of OT/CRDT which you need to deploy to make colab editing work correctly (you have used that, right?) are so much easier to grok after a bit of theory classes. Your future colleagues will thank you for it.

> Okay...can I assign tasks? I don't see a way. Pick from the Essentials column list and add "People" to the task list. Then pick yourself. It'll show up on the homepage.

Ah, yup, thanks!

As a personal TODO app, I would want things to default-assign to myself, but I realize this is meant more of a collaborative app.
