This looks like it has a ton of potential - looks like the power of a heavier-weight tool like MS Project with the style and ease of use of a 37s app. I'd be interested in trying it but it looks like it might be overkill for one person without lots of projects going on. gibsonf1, what do you think? I don't want to waste a spot in your private beta, I'll look forward to seeing more details later.


I would definitely use it as a single person to organize my life, and reduce alot of stress (and get a hell of a lot more done). The GTD functionality will be the best available in any application soon (The only missing item are contexts, which we will add shortly). We also have a growing list of templated workflows - we'll put a library up on the website soon that save a great deal of time.

We've built a great deal of logic into the UI - we try to make it do as much work for you as possible. Nothing like the power of lisp! :) We have a spot for you if you want it - I would really like to hear your feedback.


Request'd!


It's refreshing to see a subscription based site making a go of it. I was beginning to wonder what happened to them. Good luck!


Thanks :) We have customers already willing to pay, and excited to start using the system, so we are definitely hoping for the best.


I'm actually developing a similar system, that will also be a subscription model.

Good on ya. Glad to see other startups in the market.


It took us a lot longer to deploy than we had first imagined. The first big hurdle was understanding conceptually how the system should work, then understanding how to code it, then realizing that the UI was one of the biggest issues to solve and switching to that, etc etc. I don't think it would have been possible without having a complex company using it all along with multiple users to get inductive feedback. But, wow, we're glad to be finally launching.


Would that be your own architectural firm?


Yes - exactly. My hair was "on fire" for a better way to organize and do work with my firm, and nothing available was solving the problem, so we had to build it ourselves.
