The talk was a great punctuation to a great conference. Jarkko really delivered on this one.

Maybe not right now. Lot of people, us included, want manage their todos in Things or similar todo app.

However, we need to think this through.

Glad to hear you liked it, especially the demo account. We wanted to try making the discovery part very easy with it.

Great to hear you like it! We'd love to hear your team's thoughts on the application.

Thanks for checking out the application.

We think it solves a different problem than Acunote. From our own experience, tools often get in the way of working and Acunote does a lot more than we and other small teams need.

And as I eluded to in another comment, we think Splendid Bacon lets you use tools like Acunote to manage the backlog and other details or accomplish other similar project tasks.

Hopefully. :) We'll try to pressure our designer @karrisaarinen to write a blog post about it.

Thanks for your feedback! Glad you like the dark theme.

Thanks for the feedback!

First, this app is 48 hours old so we didn't have too much time to build features. We'll likely introduce new stuff later on.

Second, this tool is actually more for project portfolio management than project management per se. The goal is to let teams use the tools that they like for ticketing, bug reports, etc. and focus more on scheduling, resourcing and overview of the projects in an organization.

Currently we have GitHub integration with commit messages updating the project activity stream. We have plans to introduce other integrations like this.

Thanks! We have small teams ourselves and we created this based on what we need. Great to hear that it'll be useful for others, too.

Thanks, very excited that you find it useful! :)

Thanks for the compliments!

Due to the excellent feedback we've received, we are planning on commercializing this soon.
