It looks interesting, but not enough for me to login, yet.
You need to add a few screen shots, demos, etc., to show me why I should consider this instead of Huboard or Trello (you don't need to compare yourself to these, just have some simple workflows with the free tool to make it clear why pintask is better).
Also, while it is "free for life" you should "respect" current conventions for sites like this: You need a pricing link, a page on which you reinforce that basic functionality is free, and that extensions are what people buy. People are used to those conventions, it makes it easier for them to absorb your message without forcing them to think too much, without violating their expectations in a current website.
Speaking of this, I should be able to browse the extension store without logging in. Also, pricing needs to tell me if the extension price is per user per month, per project per month, per enterprise per month, etc. If those prices are per enterprise, they seem like good deals, but if they are per user, they start adding up so fast that free seems more like a playground gateway drug than anything else.
Finally, enterprise customers WANT to pay for your basic service: They want to give you their money to guarantee uptime, have a number to call, etc.
(Personal irritant: You may require cookies to get something done, but not to browse - the page loads blank when cookies are disabled (I used a cookie manager; I'm in the minority there, but I'm the kind of user you want early on :->). Require cookies only when they are actually required - and be sure to indicate that your site uses them, so that you remain on the good side of the law in various jurisdictions).
tl;dr: Looks good, too little there to incite me to actually take the action. Don't go overboard, though, you're almost there.
- karmajunkie 13y agoAll of that. I shouldn't have to give you my information to see what's for sale—you haven't come close to convincing me you're selling anything I want to buy yet.
- DenGorbachev 13y agoActually, there are demo videos, just scroll down the page. Thanks for the tip, I'll make a separate page for pricing. As for browsing extensions store: I've already made landing pages for the best extensions, yet they don't comprise a full store-like experience. I guess you're right, there should be a full storefront for those who want to check it out without logging in.
- lbotos 13y agoA quick fix is to grab the video and throw it right on the top of that page. I have 27" Mac Display and I still had to scroll below the page to see your sell. I was also confused by the 2 offers. What was the difference? (Please take this constructively. I think you have something that looks smooth once I saw it.)
- DenGorbachev 13y agoThanks for tips, I appreciate those very much. I've just tried doing it the fast way, but videos just popped out of nowhere, lowering aesthetic value. I'll definitely ask the designer to do something about it, so that videos show up on the first screen. These are 2 different extension. One is mirroring, a very powerful tool (like symlinks, but even easier). The other is time tracking without pressing any "Start"/"Stop" buttons.
- subpixel 13y agoI had no idea those were videos, b/c they don't have affordances that tell me they are videos until I hover over them (which I did not).
- DenGorbachev 13y agoOf course! You're right, I'll add the "play" buttons for better visibility.
- Guvante 13y agoDemo videos are for extensions, I have no way without logging in to see what the tool does.
