When I tried Asana, they had lots of example projects you could choose to add. These showed what's possible with the more advanced features. I really like this approach because the use case for products like these varies from one clien

This isn't _the_ Skype though, it's the old lync with a new design. You _think_ you can just join a conference call with your normal skype app, but instead, you need to use their "web" app. Using the term web app you mig

We did something similar and used Maptiler.com's vector tile server offering + MapboxGL.js on the frontend. Using mapbox's own backend would've been too expensive for us since our app is able to do asset tracking, a use case
