| I signed up to try it out. For the lazy: http://collaborade.com The UI needs a ton of work. * Don't launch an alert() when I submit a comment. Same for completing a task. Remove all alerts. They suck. * The search/filter box is a mess. * When I click on a task, a modal box pops up (why?? get rid of it. Modals are just disguised alerts). At the bottom-left, there is a checkbox for "Follow/unfollow this task". That doesn't make sense. It should just be: [ ] Follow this task. (In its current form, it's like having a voting ballot say "[ ] Vote / don't vote for Barack Obama") * In the Edit Profile settings it says "Ask your administrators if you also want to change your name or email address." I am the only user. I AM the administrator. * Your pricing isn't good. I can get basecamp for $30/mo, unlimited users, 15 projects. Your least expensive plan is $29/mo and only allows 4 users. Otherwise, it's looking good and something that the company I work for could actually use. Basecamp is apparently too confusing for the sales guys, so keeping collaborade simple might be your target. Good work so far, keep it up! |
Thanks a lot for linking the website, signing up and provide such detailed feedback!
Your points make all sense - one of them is actually even a bug.
The only think I don't understand is "The search/filter box is a mess.". It looks pretty good on my screen. Can you please be more specific? Do you mean the flow and layout are confusing?
Thanks also for your encouraging words. Yes, there is still a lot to be done.
