We at Leto love to build our own tools to make our work easier. We think that one of them, Tracker, is ready to help other people who want an alternative PM tool to the big players. We thought that Jira was too heavy, PivotalTracker had too much jargon and Trello was on the right track but not quite right.
We've taken all the best ideas from the different tools available and made them into something we really enjoying working with. We'd love to know what the people on Hacker News think of it.
EDIT: we have an app too, with iPad and Android support around the corner! appstore.com/trackerpm
- danpalmer 14y agoI've just signed up, and it looks good, although I'm wondering what about Trello you found 'not quite right'? I'm a big fan of Trello and use it for a few projects.
- joeconway 14y agoThanks Dan! Basically we thought that Trello is great but we wanted: -The ability to make time estimates for each task -Nice email integration, with the ability to reply to notification emails to add comments to the tasks -Number of task and hourly counts for the columns
- danpalmer 14y agoFair enough, I guess Trello is more about project/issue management and less about time tracking which is really the point of 1 and 3 above. From having a quick look around the service, I think I'll stick with Trello for my projects, but then time tracking isn't something I need. I can see that this would be quite useful for many freelancers though, who need more time tracking capabilities. And at any rate, it's nicer than Pivotal! Email integration is a good idea, and something that Trello is really missing out.
