Clean, simple, attractive design compared to Trello

I used to use Trello + Burndown for Trello + Scrum for Trello prior to this. This looks better. It will have to be very fast loading and should have burndown & scrum like…
arsalanb on HNThis is how i read those points: 1. Our focus is to serve teams so in the near future, all of our new features will be directed towards teams. (btw which features of trello do…
xerophyte12932 on HNTrello is bloated with useless features, this is simple. Kudos!
jorgenblindheim on HNThis is a killer UI. Congrats. Once you get a live demo rolling I'm willing to bet you'll drum-up even more interest.

How is this different to trello?
garrensmith on HNI fail (as well) to see how this is different from Trello and why I should move all my trello stuff to here.
jnardiello on HNso how is this superior/different from other task management system like teamwork, asana, trello, etc, etc...?

misterdai on HNMy feelings exactly. Right now it's Trello with a better visual design. The other features are unknown at this point.

Hosted-only; companies want self-hosted or installable software
From 2 comments
This looks awesome. But our company probably won't use it. And here's why. Committing to a new process or software is an investment of time and trust. When we choose something to…
jaysonelliot on HNThat's why I advocate for selling software in addition to offering it as a freemium hosted platform. It's a lot easier to make the decision to use something you own than to…

No paid option, so unclear how it survives or is liable
From 3 comments
Cant use services that are free for work, if stuff is free there is no liability or even reason for the system provider to fix issues or problems. Provide a paid version.
callesgg on HNThat, or even just have an actual way to start paying now, which would already help to survive or make it feel like it would survive.

PhilWright on HNMain priority of the website seems to be to get your email address rather rather than to inform.
