(#649231)
Looks nice, but (due to issue #1, #2 and #6 below) not yet ready for public consumption.
1.) Slow. I clicked on burndown and waited for it to give me info. As I type this, I'm still waiting. If I actually needed this program, I would have given up by now.
2.) I had to create a trial account to figure out what it actually did. Your front page could explain a bit more (but maybe I'm not in the target audience).
3.) What's a story? Why not call it "Project"? And what is a story point?
4.) Lots of wasted screen real estate. The table looks like this:
[Add new story] empty empty ...
story 1 tasks in progress ...
All that empty space next to [add new story] is annoying. I can close the "add new story" frame to free it up, but that's confusing.
5.) I just finished all the tasks in a story. But the story is still there. How do I mark the story as done? Can I do this?
6.) I'm still waiting for the burndown.
[edit: added this right afterwards]
7.) I closed the tab, and reopened to take another look. Now I see the signup page. At the top of the page, to the right of the logo, I see the words "Access Denied\ You do not have access to that domain.\ log out".
