Hey, I registered and I'm liking the idea. The design is pretty cool but there's a few usability flaws. First off, it's quite slow to load pages. I'm not sure why that is, perhaps because it is just in alpha and isn't on a perfectly suitable hosting environment, but speed should definitely be a priority.

Second, on the page that lists projects, the plus sign icon indicated to create a project was a little hard to spot. It's further away from the majority of the content and there really isn't anything to make it catch the user's eye (even though it's likely the first action a user will make).

You could use contrast to make it stand out more. For example, the first thing that caught my eye was the "Feedback" button on the right. It is a darker black and contrasts from the rest of the page, and so it sticks out.

Incorporate some of these tips into your design: http://goodui.org/




Also, when adding a task to a project, there is no immediate feedback that the task was added. I had to refresh the page to make sure it was added.


weird!!! that must be a bug... the task should show right away... I will take a look...

also... agreed on the "new" project butto... it's not obvious. I want to review the UI/UX once I flush out higher priority items.

thanks.


Abusing those ellipses again buddy.


It would be nice to see the full task edit options when adding a task too.
