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.

As a seller, how does AppSumo work?

Is it just a notice board (like product hunt) where you get some exposure? Or do you pay for it (other than offering a bargain discount..)?

Interested because it has all the basic features I want, and like the lifetime membership thing, but the mobile experience is unusable, and for that reason, I’m out. /sharktank

On mobile, you should download the app, instead of logging in on the web browser, as it's not responsive on the browser yet.

It’s a cool tool, but you are in a highly commoditised market with intense competition. Your product has to be more than good to win people over. I use Jira in a project right now and it’s a sea of tickets with no order or structure. So there may be a problem to solve if you can find a great workflow.

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.

I'm a solo founder working on a project management tool which supports markdown. Take a look. :) https://macroapp.io

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's not an "I built it" story then. "I was dissatisfied with ... so I made other people build it"

Apologize for the misleading words. The right ones should be "I built it with our team"

Why not use “we built it” instead?

You don’t want to give your teammates a credit?
