Apply HN: Wiplo – Project Management and Chat, with great UX

4 points by jmsuth 10y ago

URL: https://www.wiplo.com https://www.wiplo.com IDEA: If Trello and Slack had a baby, it would be Wiplo. The best way for teams to manage projects and collaborate, with a strong emphasis on user experience, speed, and design. Great for remote teams, startups, and teams within large organizations. PROBLEM: Project management and collaboration tools today suck, and it's time for design to invade enterprise software. Great project management software should empower teams to do great things, not slow them down. PROGRESS: We've been live since January, and already have teams, large and small, dependent on Wiplo and using it every day. We're working on mobile and desktop applications so Wiplo will be available everywhere.

Not sure that I would be a user, but the design looks slick! Nice job

Hm, interesting; I'm excited about Slack based project management but my initial instinct is that this is not it. In particular, it looks like you don't integrate with Slack for the messaging component, instead choosing to build that piece yourself - is that correct? Why not defer to Slack on the messaging side and make it insanely easy to create items from slack, and reminders and so on?

  We've seen a lot of traction with messaging for smaller teams, which typically don't have Slack setup. Larger teams often request the Slack integration, which we're already working on so you'll soon be able to use Wiplo + Slack together.

What does the Hulu, Microsoft, Cisco and Infusionsoft logos mean? I can't see any info or links about them. Putting logos like this without more information is annoying.

  There are some teams from these companies using Wiplo. Apologies for the confusion
