hey mhsutton,

Thanks for the feedback, yeah I was happy to get something done that I am happy to use and share. My idea has been to create something easy enough for people to use and customize and make their own.

Yeah the loading config modal seems to have thrown a couple, that was another comment that was made. Someone also suggested maybe ditching the intro modal and just letting people discover for themselves.

as per the menu, thank you for that, that's been brought up and I'm thinking based on other feedback of moving the menu items into the header so you don't have to open and close it. the tab was something else I created as a UI component and I guess I just wanted to have a go at using it in real world environment.

I had used trello quite some time ago but couldn't remember it and I guess the thing I like with tyto is that I don't need an account and its just a simple UI. My main thing was to implement whilst learning and brushing up on some tech using templating languages like handlebars.

Thanks again for the feedback and I'll look at moving the menu.

@codez: the intro modal had me confused as well so I realigned a few of the elements - http://imgur.com/a/FQkUm - to make it more self explanatory...yup, having a slow day at work :)

hey jinesh!

That's awesome, thanks for that, it actually does look much better like that. I may change the template to fit in with that structure if you're ok with that. Some people have expressed not having the modal at all so I may change the default behaviour to not show it on load (this is just an option in the config).

Thanks again for the feedback! it's really appreciated and good work!

Sure @codez, feel free to use it (y)

Thanks!! I'll look to make that change :)

Good stuff!

power to the people. I like Trello and while this is lacking features, it's already miles better because now I can fork it and self host it and others can do the same. I dislike how the web has become service orientated and wish I had more time to spend building alternatives to popular services that were Free and open source.

well done!

also, checklists. I would love love love to have checklists.

hey ish!

Thanks for the feedback, it's really appreciated. This is my aim, I want people to be more in power and control of the tools they use. With tyto, you could make it completely your own and behave as you wish without worrying about the backend part of it. All I ask is that if people do come up with something cool or host their own version they just share the link in the README. This is purely because it's really interesting to me to see how people are using it or what ideas they have come up with.

Checklists? Do you mean checklists on the actual cards themselves? This would be a really easy change. You could change the template for items and have that up and running pretty quick I think. It might require some changes to how the email template works and how json is generated but I can't see it being too major.

Thanks again for the feedback it's really appreciated, I'll see if I can take a look at how checklists would work or if you happen to have a go, let me know, I'd be happy to help or hear about it.
