Incredible for a freelancer like me! I just hope all this positive feedback doesn't result in crazy-ass pricing :)

I'm liking it a lot, as well. We'll see if my other team members want to use it tomorrow at the office. We actually use an intranet tool that we build for clients for project management at work, but I'm not convinced that it manages a software development project well.

Great to hear you like it! We'd love to hear your team's thoughts on the application.

Personally I don't see much value in it, but it looks awesome and I guess if you add more features it might be useful to give clients updates.

Best part - the automatic demo account, great job on that. That is by far the easiest way to understand how something is going work and I wish all apps had that feature.

Glad to hear you liked it, especially the demo account. We wanted to try making the discovery part very easy with it.

Acunote ( http://www.acunote.com/promo ) is still better (which I'll admit is kinda an unfair comparison, given this was made in only 48 hours). Managing an agile backlog is possible in acunote. And it is free for up to 7 users (startups will be able to go a long way before having to pay). Also acunote makes sure you don't have to reload the page most of the time (even though Splendid's reload is very fast). I'd real…

To be fair, I suspect Acunote may be just a little bit older than 48 hours old. ;) Splendid Bacon looks pretty awesome considering.

Firstly: I think you've done a great job for 48 hours. That's an awesome inspiration.

Secondly: what is the purpose of the random characters (e.g. %, 2) on the front page and elsewhere? I found the characters on the front page to be somewhat unbalanced, especially the comma. Once I tried the demo, I thought they might be indicating keyboard shortcuts, but nothing happened (firefox 3.0, crunchbang linux). I'm not sure if they're not working, or if I just don't understand the joke or something, but that was my biggest issue. It seemed a bit unprofessional -- not that it is (seriously, 48 hours? awesome!), but that's what I saw.

I hope this helps you, and thanks for sharing this with us!
