Sorry but as developer who had to google timeboxing this immediately turned me off to your product.

Sorry. It's not really a product yet, more like a weekend project, so I hope that partially justifies the stupid joke.

I know it's not a very helpful comment, seeing as you've only just started, but I think the website would be better if the screenshot was bigger.

I agree here, squinting to read the barely legible text to be condescendingly met with some word that made me do a quick Google query...meh.

Fair enough, and I guess I can't argue with free. Thanks for sharing!

It helps you with timeboxing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeboxing

It helps you get things done by setting aside e.g. 20 minutes to fix bug #123.

I wanted to put this up on website originally, but then decided I just want to keep it simple: http://sht.tl/jJ0J6

Thank you, I think it's quite helpful. While I work on the website some more, enjoy the 2x version of the screenshot: http://rinik.net/zonebox/images/preview@2x.png :)

I like the simple website. Having the download as a .zip may be a little suspicious to some non-technical users but maybe I'm wrong.
