Poor customers don't have money to plan. Rich ones just don't care about how to plan, they care about earning more. Useless stuff then ?

It's not about personal planning, it's about commercial planning. Whether you want to provide a quote to client, instead of spreadsheets you can use planlike.pro

Wait, why not spreadsheet ?

The dashed lines in the footer [0]. Why they are not continuous? They start in the purple background thing but as soon as that finishes, it starts another dashed segment, totally disconnected from the previous one. I know it is a little thing, but it irks me the wrong way.

I know it is a silly thing, but I felt the need to give this feedback for some reason.

Thanks for sharing mate, I'll see how can I improve it.

Thanks for sharing, will have a look into!

"Fancy" scrolling often breaks my favorite way to scroll: by clicking the middle mouse button and just dragging the mouse relative to the anchor point to control the scroll speed. I'd advise anyone who wants people to stay on their page to just leave scrolling alone, but if you're gonna mess with it anyway, at least consider all of the possible modes of scrolling people use and how your new take on scrolling will aff…

It’s impossible to reimplement scrolling in any way acceptably on the web, because the web doesn’t expose several of the primitives you’d need. Therefore I say: scrolljacking is always bad.

> Hey and thanks for checking out our product. I'd like to run a quick demo for you to show some cool features that we have. How can I contact you? Maybe just do the video like what they asked for, so we can all make the assessment, instead of turning it into a greasy sales pitch. Not going to lie, this response put me off completely.

Responding to someone actively expressing interest in your product by offering them a demo definitely doesn't qualify as "turning it into a greasy sales pitch". They've clearly built the product to be a low touch experience so offering to run through it with someone is actually very pro-active of them.

You got my point. I can't make video demo right away, will take some time, but gladly can demo it live and answer the questions.

Some actual feedback about the product instead of just the marketing website:

- You need to make it possible to clone an existing template that shows of the features, see Notion as an example of where you almost always start from a template. (I see this is a paid feature maybe, but if so then you need a trial because it's not complete without it)

- When creating a project I'm not likely to know why I would want a label text and color.

- There is a lot of functionality and that makes it hard to make a path through the app (UX flow)

- For some cases, like Software Development estimating the cost/time is hard. Part of the reason that we do Fibonacci story points as a measure of complexity. This isn't going to apply to every type of project, but if I'm modelling out a tech startup using your tool then it's going to be an issue.

- Features, Pricing, Contact Us, How to's should not be in the top menu after I'm in the app.

Overall I think you have a solid problem that you're trying to tackle but it needs to be a lot easier to approach than it is currently. That means making it much easier to add common types of things (if it's a wedding the interface could look quite different, to planning a trip), it's the same mechanics under the hood but I'm not left drowning in options.

As I said in another comment. Congrats on launching.

it's a good project: I'll try it out (we are doing something similar, but it's pretty hard to have a general saas service ... too often project are too different so you need a lot of customization I think).

bwt

* this https://securityheaders.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fplanlike.pro&fo... can be easy to fix (I'll give you the settings for haproxy or apache if you need)

* https://tools.pingdom.com/#619d161622000000 can be improved, too

I would also disable TLS 1.0 (https://www.immuniweb.com/ssl/planlike.pro/72wS3s8G/ ) and enable HTTP2 or have both HTTP2 and HTTP1

On the reset password you should not show us the world messages like "This email is not registered" (security)

then maybe

* have https://www.planlike.pro redirect to https://planlike.pro

* populate https://planlike.pro/robots.txt

Thanks for your feedbacks! We have something similar to templates - you can clone any existing project and use it as template. I wanted to provide more flexibility to user whether they want to use existing project and adjust it, or just create a project that will serve as template.

Generally speaking I want to add more hits and tips to help new users get used to application.

Thanks for suggesting on this. I used the default setup without any extra configuring. Will add those missing headers
