Earlier quoted context omitted.

Looks like it's a team of 6 people according to their "Our Story" page. The "I built" in the title seems misleading, what's up there @OP ?

Like CEOs who say they build datacenters and international branches. I always read those as "I lead the team that built it"

We have 3 developers to build the app.

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.

Being on AppSumo helps us gain initial traction and feedback to improve the product at a faster pace, since we're not VC-backed.

Upbase looks great! “most of these tools tend to be focused on team collaboration and completely ignore personal productivity.” - did you consider tools like Todoist and Nirvana which are more individual-focused? (Yet Todoist has project sharing and collaboration for teams as well). Also remember the best to-do list app will fall flat if you don’t pair it with a good method and a lot of discipline - kudos for includi…

Yes, Todoist and Nirvana work great for personal task management, but not for teams. We want to build a tool for teams that empowers personal productivity.

Does it support Markdown? That's what I find lacking in many of these PM tools - they either use some custom, complicated markup, or wysiwyg, which makes it hard to format text properly and copy and paste text.

Currently, only the Chat tool supports Markdown. But we do plan to have Markdown all over the place.

Did you build this all by yourself? Looks like a great tool.

Building something up does not only mean putting in the physical activity (laying down bricks or putting in characters into files).

That's not an "I built it" story then.

"I was dissatisfied with ... so I made other people build it"
