"it's just a spreadsheet, and [view X] is a filter on that sheet" is a nice mental model. I've had lots of managers organize stuff in google sheets and then copy to [task manager X] simply because it's easier to think about - they'd probably love this. I certainly would, vs Jira's massive "everything is custom UI / a unique concept" mess.
- alooPotato 5y agoTheir spreadsheet implementation looks really nice (from the screenshots). Can't wait to try it. Our primary interface at Streak is a spreadsheet. It looks simple to build but we've invested (and continue to invest) a ton of engineering time to making it great. Users love the interaction model like you said.
- agentdrtran 5y agoTheir spreadsheet view reminds of Airtable a bit, or the notion-like tools that are very popular right now.
- dempsey 5y agoYes! We use a Google Sheet to track subtasks of issues. Now maybe we won't have to. Breaking every subtask into its own issue is too much and using the Project tool has a similar problem where it can become overwhelmingly noisy. Spreadsheet style lists are the cleanest way to see a lot quickly.
- SkyPuncher 5y agoWe're constantly amazed at how often we use Trello only for the purpose of drafting and organizing stories before we copy/paste them into Jira.
- adt2bt 5y agoThat, plus keyboard shortcuts for everything means developers will love it as well. This really feels slick.

- danielfranz 5y agoAgree. Then again if you use JXL in your Jira you have a more agnostic spreadsheet view of your issues as well. Pretty neat. https://jxl.app https://jxl.app
