Just updated the blog post with an answer to "Why move from Trello to Blimp?" to summarize: Blimp understands the process your team is using so it can extract meaningful data from it. Head back to the blog post to read all of it.

This has been said numerous times on HN and elsewhere, but I would love to see what your pricing structure is outside of "starts at $12/month." I'm not going to give you my information just to see a pricing chart.

When trying to import I get: request expired

We are working on it. Seems to be an issue with our api keys but we can't confirm because the folks at Trello support haven't responded yet. I suspect that response is going to take a while.

We've got your email. Someone from the dev team will reply shortly.

When a user starts working on that task he or she just have to click on it to let everyone know that he or she is working on that. Cool, but I can do that with Trello. Yes you can, but with Blimp if that task stays in the DOING state for more than 24 hours without being completed the system will email the user asking for an update on the task.

Sweet! automated micro-management!

Honestly I like a few things in concept with Blimp, but one of the things I tend to hate about most "Methodologies" is when they're not flexible to the realties of your team.

I've started trying out the service, but coming from Basecamp, my team relies on their messages to keep ideas and project-related conversations archived with the rest of the project data. Any advice on how to do the same within Blimp?

I agree with you on: "I tend to hate about most "Methodologies" is when they're not flexible to the realties of your team".

That's why we made Blimp in such a way that if you don't want to use the methodology you don't have to and you'll get a very nice task management app. But if you learn the simple process and use it, the app will become smarter and it will help you more, if you need that.

The more you use the process, the smarter Blimp gets.
