janlukacs··on Openproject: Open-source project management software
If you have some time check out our app at https://www.paymoapp.com - it's quite versatile (has boards and gantt)
janlukacs··on Tables: Tracking work for teams
You are right, we started using it in 2019. From what I know none of the apps in our space had this slogan when we decided to use it and we did quite a lot of research, but to be fair I did not know about the existence of Project Insight in 2017.
janlukacs··on Tables: Tracking work for teams
Are you serious? Is "Just do it" a combination of words in English? We don't own it because we're a small startup.
janlukacs··on Tables: Tracking work for teams
A couple of years ago Asana stole our slogan, now Google.

For the record, https://www.paymoapp.com (work management) was the first to use Work better, together. Really annoying that they don't do at least a bit of research.

janlukacs··on Facebook refuses to follow GDPR regulations by spewing nonsense and lies
can someone remind my why people still use facebook?
janlukacs··on Israeli work management firm monday.com raises $150M
the valuation is insane.
janlukacs··on Dropbox buys HelloSign (YC W11) for $230M
is this a 70X acquisition multiple? I read somewhere they had ~3mil in turnover?
janlukacs··on Asana raises $50M at a $1.5B valuation
Have you looked at Paymo? http://www.paymoapp.com
janlukacs··on Cern scientist: 'Physics built by men – not by invitation'
We live in a post truth world. Instead of accepting men and women as complementary we're forced into "competition", yet another way of dividing society.
janlukacs··on Slack Is Buying HipChat from Atlassian
This is an incredibly good move by Slack, even more so after the recent announcement from MS with the Teams free version.
janlukacs··on Canadian man changes gender on government IDs for cheaper car insurance
And that my friends is how socialism fails, and everybody loses (after an initial period when people are generally satisfied).
janlukacs··on Canadian man changes gender on government IDs for cheaper car insurance
The amount of attention and resources spent on "genderism" in the western world is really astounding and accelerating. One has to ask why?
janlukacs··on Apple introduces macOS Mojave
I love Safari, it's my main browser - but there are so many small annoying things that take ages to fix it's just sad.
janlukacs··on Apple introduces macOS Mojave
Let me put it another way, when was the last time you heard a user ask for an iOS app to be on the Mac? Is this what Mac users want or is it something that Apple wants?
janlukacs··on Apple introduces macOS Mojave
Is that an OS update? Do you really need iOS apps on the Mac? How about having decent apps in the actual native apps store?
janlukacs··on Apple introduces macOS Mojave
WWDC 2018, from underwhelming to boring. I will lose my mind if i hear *oji one more time. Will they ever stop with this nonsense? Favicons in Safari? It took them 6 years for the browser to remember the zoom setting per site, now we have the luxury of having favicons.
janlukacs··on The Business of SaaS
Since they pay more, they value the service more, so they tend to stick around more :)
janlukacs··on The Business of SaaS
What does the app offer? What type of customers do you have?
janlukacs··on The Business of SaaS
I think that we're at a point where customers no longer care, it's just a technicality
janlukacs··on The Business of SaaS
Are you talking about monthly churn or yearly?
janlukacs··on The Business of SaaS
This is a sign that there might be something wrong with your positioning/marketing/messaging. The initial high churn means your customers think they will get X but they get Y - so they abandon the product. The ones that "get it" stick around. For now i would just remove the 1st month from the stats and look at it independently and then try to tweak the perception. Talking to the people who drop out will give you a better picture (it's hard but very much worth pursuing).

ps: we sell project management at https://www.paymoapp.com - every time someone cancels or deletes an account we show them a form where we collect data.

janlukacs··on Ask HN: Simple tools/hack for small project management
If you guys also need time tracking along with KanBan be sure to check out Paymo (shameless plug) https://www.paymoapp.com/kanban-software/
janlukacs··on Paying journalists to promote brands in articles
Funny no one mentions Google, all this is done purely for the SEO juice. We've heard it for years, links don't matter that much these days.. but in fact they do matter.

Imho Google needs to fix this, not the content farms that Google thinks are "trusted" news sources.

janlukacs··on Ask HN: Is there something wrong with internet right now?
Everything loading blazing fast (Romania).
janlukacs··on Show HN: Paymo Time Tracker – React and GraphQL-based Photoshop Plugin
It's built on top of Adobe CEP runtime - https://github.com/Adobe-CEP Extensions are loaded into applications through the PlugPlug Library architecture. With CEP 4.0, HTML/JavaScript technology can be used to for these extensions.

The actual app is a standard web app based on React that connects to a GraphQL server.

janlukacs··on The rise and fall of Ext JS
if anyone of the people let go is interested in remote work (we're based in Europe) on an Ext project please get in touch at https://www.paymoapp.com/contact/
janlukacs··on The rise and fall of Ext JS
Our project management app - paymoapp.com is built on Sencha and we're a bit worried. We spent a lot of resources building ext6 apps on top of the old ext4 core - hopeful Idera won't do crazy stuff, it's a good framework worth saving.
janlukacs··on We Need to Nationalise Google, Facebook and Amazon
Never reading a Guardian story again, crypto-communists - no other word for them, pretty much every day some kind of idiotic leftist agenda is being pushed.
janlukacs··on Ask HN: What SaaS customer service tools does your startup use?
Intercom for in-app chat and email messaging.
janlukacs··on Ask HN: Is S3 down?
We're down too with www.paymoapp.com - pretty frustrated that the status page shows everything is up and running.
