Good catch, thank you.

#43Probably just a coincidence, but - http://gantto.com/ http://preceden.com/
Preceden's my work and if their design was based on mine, I don't mind at all. I tend to base my initial designs on sites that look aesthetically pleasing to me and then adjust it over time to be my own. The dark blue header, for example, was inspired by http://www.braintreepaymentsolutions.com/ . I'm sure they're doing something similar. Site looks great though--wish you guys the best.
Thank you for the kind wishes! We looked all over the place for inspiration for our site. Though the resemblence here is just a coincidence, clearly we like your style.

#44Wait... hasn't this idea come and gone about 10 times in the last 10 years. I remember when I begged 37 signals to add this as a small feature about 4 years ago and they laughed it off. Also, some of the text in the biographies seem a bit exaggerated.

We agree it is strange that this idea has not been done by now. We keep expecting that we will find it around the corner, but so far it has not actually shown up. Basecamp is a great product for many elements of managing projects, but I feel it still falls short on the visualization end of things. They look to pretty openly support 3rd party extensions and they are on our road-map of data to visualize.

#46This looks pretty slick, but 1) out of those who uses Gantt charts, who would actually use this and 2) who uses Gantt charts in the first place?

1) Our hypothesis is that those who use Gantt charts and want to present them either to executives (more status and summary) or to a team (more details and dependencies) and are sick of strange screen shots or hand-drawing outcomes in powerpoint.
2) There are several different scenarios where Gantt charts are helpful. A typical example might be when one wants to model dependencies to figure out what the optimal order of execution might be or what the critical path might be. Another example is if one wants to set a target date and work backward in time to figure out when a decision or task has to be finalized.
3)We used them all the time in medical device, less so developing this software product with a small team...

#48Just an suggestion.
If you made this as Atlassian Confluence Plugin AND/OR Atlassian JIRA Plugin -> We'd ve more than willing to buy into your idea.

#49You'll want to be able to embed these easily in other pages, with very simple tags and url's, much like youtube. Does it do that?

This is a really good idea that seems to resonate with a lot of people. We can not do this yet, but it will be one of our top features to get to work on. Thank you for the comment.
