Thanks a lot for your POSITIVE feedback! :-) And, of course, I agree with regards to the landing page - it'll be ready by Monday next week. It takes some time to prepare nice image that (we hope) will help to explain the purpose of the website.

Thanks, we are working on the better version of landing page - with better explanations and some graphics.

Maybe you're right... We have to think about it more carefully. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for your comment!

The reason we decided to use FB only auth is that we felt that in order to provide the same feature set with FB and without it would require quite a lot of duplication on our site. And the more social features we add - the more duplication it requires.

For example, for a plan you can specify "friends only" visibility - and for this to work we need to support friends lists in our app. We also use FB to send SMS reminders (if allowed by a user) - and that's not the easiest and cheapest thing to implement from scratch.

We are trying to build a system with reusable plans - where a plan is essentially a step-by-step instructions plus timing data. So the idea is - somebody creates a good plan - like a recipe, or first 10 weeks of life of a child - and then many people should be able use it. So master plan should remain the same, in our opinion. On the other hand, you can change positions of steps, add/remove reminders and if you are not satisfied with the plan completely, you can duplicate it and create a new one based on existing. We are not trying to create yet another project management tool - it is more of tutorial with timeline, reminders, images, videos and reusability is the main focus for us.

Try reloading the page. Can you tell me what browser do you use?

Thanks, I agree, we'll have it fixed by tomorrow.

I thought of a name as a plan + energize, so it is plan - ergize. And it wasn't easy to come with this one - it seems everything is taken :-)

Thanks for your comment, we are going to do this!

We actually had our own authentication initially, but later decided to use Facebook Connect. We are using some part of data and features available on FB to provide core functionality, e.g. we use friends list for access control, we send SMS and email reminders through FB. We publish short stories on your activity on your wall (if allowed). And we have plans to put more social features, utilizing FB infrastructure. Many people already have FB accounts, so we decided not to ask people to fill in all these fields one more time.

I'm working on this side as well. Applicability in business environment was the reason I got funded a year ago by Enterprise Ireland (Irish state agency working to support commercialization of research, among other things)

You sure can! :-) I'll have a look at it. We have a screencast, there is a link on the how to page: http://assets.planergize.com/planergize_demo.swf

Totally agree with you, we'll have it fixed by tomorrow! Very helpful comment, thank you. Yes, wedding planning is one of the examples what kind of plans you can create with planergize. If you like a plan you can then "run" it and get SMS/email reminders before steps.

Thanks! We are working on improving a landing page with some graphics and better explanation.

:-) Thanks for that!

Thanks for your comment - we are working on some nice graphics explaining what we do at the moment. And I agree - it is boring and doesn't work well...

Thanks a lot for your comment! We will improve it. I just thought it would be nice to have something moving on the screen :-)

It has a RESTful API. It's just not published anywhere yet :-)
