@rrhoover - definitely! I think it would help people prioritise their top tasks as well. Sometimes my daily task list is longer than an elephant's trunk, and it's just unrealistic!

annoying if you had a team of 4 - big jump up from free to $40/mth - gorgeous though - well laid out - hurrah for the shrinking to do list!

This looks useful for both teammates and managers. It's several steps away from being a leaderboard, but seeing everyone's key tasks on cards implicitly creates a stronger sense of accountability to each other as @rrhoover mentioned.
@jtcchan I'm curious where the 5 task number comes from. Love the idea of forcing focus, just curious about the number.

@desisaran It helps teams gain visibility of what's happening in a company in ways most project management and task management apps can't. @ryancarson explained how "everyone needs 3 views of their company": a 30,000 foot view that encompasses company-wide priorities, a 5,000 foot view that shows you what projects everyone's roughly working on, and a 10 foot view on how everyone decides to spend their day. Dayboard is that 10-foot view. People may not realize they need this but many tech companies have been doing this for many years already in the form of stand-up meetings.
@jtcchan I've never understood user based pricing because it creates a hurdle that hurts adoption. It might be worth it to consider pricing that charges for different feature sets. Every plan allows unlimited users, but you need to upgrade to get 100mb per user, attachments, the ability to view completed tasks, etc. Upgrading to an even higher plan gives every user 5gb, the ability to share tasks with people outside of the org, and a calendar view.
Take the specific features of the suggestion with a grain of salt, but the idea behind the suggestion is what I am offering.

@ffumarola Thanks for the insight. I agree re: user based pricing creates hurdles. It has the same issue with products based on metered-pricing (e.g. Heroku, AWS) such that every user invite or dyno increase creates anxiety. My initial thought is that Dayboard may be an exception since it's core value is directly related to team size. But I don't know what I don't know so there may be a different opportunity I haven't explored yet. Let me think about what you said some more before I come to a conclusion. Thanks again.
@jpatil Thanks for the input. I agree: many project management or task management tools technically have the ability to see a day-to-day view but they're not that great. I believe a product focused on the day-to-day view opens up opportunities that other tools can't solve which is why I don't think I'm necessarily competing with those options.
@jtcchan
The difference with metered pricing, IMO, is that by almost any metric getting into the next meter means you are seeing more success since your server demands are higher. Traction is something you can sell to investors or generate revenue off of.
Needing another part-time employee, contractor/freelancer, advisor, or full-time employee on your project management solution does not mean you are seeing more success. And if you aren't seeing more success, you question the increase in pricing.
