Congrats to the team - I've been an Asana user since day 1 when it looked like a glorified spreadsheet and was essentially a nice wrapper around Facebook Tasks (FB's internal task management tool.)

Ultimately I think they have the right ideas and long-run roadmap, but will have a lot of challenges executing in such a crowded space. Excited to see what they do next!

We used asana for a while. I love the clean UI, and we thought the calendar view was really helpful/good, etc.

The one thing we really missed though, was just first class support for being able to keep break down tasks into smaller ones through many levels. We've been trying out https://subtask.co for that, and finding it to be pretty good. It has its own shortcomings too, but seems to be an interesting new contender in this crowded space.

It might be a newer feature, but Asana does support arbitrary levels of subtasks.

I never cared for the software, but I’m excited to see how the direct listing plays out.
