Thanks, @kevin and hello, Product Hunt! We started Constructor this year because we wanted a lightweight task tracker that’s as simple as Trello but really understands how software products are built. We’re obsessed with building a delightful tool that helps software teams succeed by getting developers, dev managers, and PMs the information they need while helping them collaborate smoothly. Constructor is reassuringly familiar but different in a number of important ways: - No learning curve – as simple and easy to use as Trello - Comment threads – as frictionless as Slack but assignable so balls don't get dropped and resolvable so tickets don't get cluttered - Real-time, bidirectional GitHub sync – saves devs time (and encourages speedy reviews) by showing PR details right on the board and posting ticket descriptions right on PRs - Clean, clear, and fast UI – uncluttered throughout, with a hideaway backlog so your team can focus on just what’s important right now - Stage checklists – provide a way for devs, designers, and testers to break down their work while providing managers with detailed progress updates for free - Process-agnostic – just do what works for your team without having to jump through hoops With Constructor you can: - Get your team and process fully setup in less than five minutes - Have a tool that your PMs, designers, and developers will all enjoy using - Easily stay on top of progress, pull requests, and discussions while reducing disruptions - Collaborate efficiently with the least friction possible You can try Constructor instantly, without signing up, in a prepopulated sandbox just by clicking the button on our homepage. We’d love to know what you think!

@maria_brm Yes it is! We have a robust integration with Slack that includes personal notifications, the ability to reply to comments directly from Slack, link unfurls, and more.

Congrats! It looks beautiful. I've generally used trello for managing small software products before. How does Constructor compare?

@phil_sarin Thanks! Coming from Trello, Constructor will feel very familiar, but with lots of differences geared toward software teams. For example, our comment threads are assignable and resolvable (similar to Google Docs). That lets teammates make lightweight requests of each other without the risk of them getting lost, and it keeps the tickets free from clutter once the question is resolved. That's hard to do in Trello. Another example is our GitHub sync. Trello does have a GitHub power-up, but because it's not a first-class citizen, it requires users to manually link up every PR, which of course is not something devs want to do! In Constructor it's automatic. Trello's power-up also doesn't display PR info as cleanly as Constructor or on the board itself. Finally, we've heard from lots of users that managing a backlog in Trello is a pain point, because the backlog is represented as a regular list, cluttering the board and requiring a lot of scrolling to look through. In Constructor, the backlog is a high density drawer that can be pulled out during planning and stashed away afterward. We have a one-click import from Trello so it's easy to try out and compare!
