I fooled with it. Seems fairly standard as a team task management tool. I like the concept of managing tasks through email, although the UX immediately went off the track when I assigned a task via email and I was all of a sudden 'inviting someone to join sendtask'. Except I thought I was just sending a task by email. The two use cases should be separated.

@stoweboyd Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad it feels 'standard' to you - we were hoping to make it intutitive. About the invitation: We've added this so that you can add a personal note when you invite someone to work with you on Sendtask for the first time. Maybe the term 'invitation' is a bit misleading as it's really just a message that will be sent in an email with your first task. It does not mean that the recipient needs to create an account. Recipients never need to create an account. Only if you decide, you want to send tasks as well and want to see all your tasks in one list, we require you to create an account (for obvious security reasons). Let me know if this helps to make things more clear!

This seems very interesting, but free forever?
Cédric Waldburger
@16jsdev the current functionality will always be free. We're planning to add some paid features down the road, mostly for enterprise users.

@tom_burger Interesting, thanks!!

wasn't this on PH a few days ago? Odd.

@prolax Hi Jordan, thanks for paying close attention - we were on BetaList a few days ago and someone submitted to PH. We were never featured though.

@tom_burger nice. I thought it was a decent product when I saw it the first time. Still need to give it a good go tho :)

@prolax please share your feedback once you've had a chance to take it for a spin. We're always looking for ways to improve.

Is this similar to Basecamp?
Cédric Waldburger
@p0w1nd thanks for asking! We are similar to base camp, asana and other collaborative to do applications in terms of the functionality we offer per task and the views and filters we offer. Where we are different is that we are a lot more open. Where you usually use Basecamp with a static set of people (typically your team), we allow you to share tasks with just about anyone - as long as you know their email addresses, you can send them a task.

@p0w1nd Why is this important? We saw that while we realized that using Basecamp is very efficient in our team, we reverted to our old habits when it came to collaborating with people outside our regular team (e.g. With clients, lawyers, agencies, etc.). That's why we decided to build a system that is similar in functionality but doesn't require the recipient of tasks to sign up and create an account. We believe this is very important as it allows you to deploy the efficient way of working together that you know from working with your team to any other group of people! Please let us know what you think! We hope that sendtask helps you and your team be more productive!
