Yeah, Trello came out after I began development--so not a clone so much but definitely a similar product. I won't be able to compete on price (that was the worst part of seeing Trello launch) so I'm going to focus on a few other things. Simplicity and ease of use is at the top of the list.
- debacle 15y agoI didn't see any pricing information. I'm assuming it wont be free, then?
- dclaysmith 15y agoMy goal is to create something worth charging for but there will be a free/personal plan. Whatever you can do now, you'll be able to do for free when premium plans are introduced. It would make things a lot easier (for me) if Fog Creek was charging for Trello. They are hiring developers for software they are giving away while I'm working on ThetaBoard on nights and weekends and hoping to charge... I think when I'm done there will be enough differences with Trello and I'll be able to get some paying clients on board.
- bdunn 15y agoThere will always be people who won't pay for products. These people borderline accuse you of stealing if you attempt to charge, or are obsessed with open-source, self-hosted everything. Ignore them. There are plenty of people who will gladly pay for things that benefit them. If you can build something that kills pain or makes money, you'll get paid.
- bdunn 15y agoCompeting on price is a loser's game. Build a great product that solves problems, rock at support, continually provide new value, profit.
