Sometimes the synchronicity of HN blows my mind. To wit: I've been looking progressively harder for some kind of simple project management/task management tool. I've combed through quite a few so far (basecamp, hitask, wedooist, backpack, pretty much every service Google turns up). As of yet, nothing fits the bill. Essentially I want to be a glorified secretary, but also the boss. I want to be able to get up in the morning, determine what needs to be done, then push "to do lists" to the appropriate people and let them take care of things. Most of the project management software is too complicated, or has far too many features, or is just plain awkward. Most of the task management stuff is too simple or does not allow multiple people to view/edit the list. Email is too cumbersome. I think a number of the tools I've looked at have usable pieces. Worst case I'll have to adapt my vision to the tools that exist (ugh). But nothing has blown my mind. So, lo and behold, I pop over to HN to kill some time and on the front page is a "collaborative, synchronized To-Do list" application. I'm going to give it a hard look, but if anyone has any other suggestions (or wants to build a tool!) let me know. |
