It's certainly "prettier" than Trello, but I'm not sure how functional it would actual be in a real world scenario. There's no functional benefit as far as I can see to putting things in fancy-looking circles, and (I'm imagining) the usability of that interface is severely diminished as you start to get a large number of items in any particular category.

A great example of how great UI doesn't necessarily equate to great UX, in my opinion.

"The problem I had is none of my team would update it, because they thinks it looks crappy."

I'm at a loss for words honestly.

Just one thing:

make your modals close on the click action for the actual close button on the modal. Right now, you can dismiss the "edit task" modal by clicking outside of it. This causes you to lose any work done inside said modal via misclick.

I like it. It lets me see all the items at a higher level. The best part so far is that I can move groups into one another.

Using it quickly makes me want a couple of features:

- not needing drag n drop for something (like creating a new task or group - be default putting them in the previous group or top level)

- being able to add tasks that are at the intersection of two groups. I imagine this would look something like a venn-diagram.

Finally, I am reluctant to support a startup unless I know how you are planning to survive. Is it going to be advertisement? not yet release feature? large teams? Once you do this, I will be more comfortable telling others.
