   I just replied in the comments section of our blog to a similar question (it's a bit long to paste here). In short: a combination of posting on some forums, using beta invites, word-of-mouth and finally contacting blogs about our private be

   Thanks for pointing that out. We meant to give people the chance to first try it without having to bother through all kinds of forms, so our initial idea was to reflect these terms onto the (free) subscription period after the testing. But

   Funny to see this post here today, as last day was actually one of those work-round-the-clock days (1h powernap), I usually try to aim for at least 6 hours. Less than that just makes me less efficient at work and I start skipping sports for

   Well, you said you already had some ideas, but maybe these help as well. Things that work for me: - Tasks you really don't like doing are harder to start with. But, are the tasks you have to do really important? What happens if you don't do

   Tack. Creating and managing teams is indeed still too primitive now, we're planning on fixing all that during the beta. Good point about the date formats, it's on my list.

   You can click to enlarge the screenshots, but a tour might be a nice addition. We're Dutch, so the timezone wasn't a lucky default ;) (i'll let you think about what time it is here in GMT+1 land :p), but I think in the end small things like

   tack! and förlåt, I was pretty sure I tested this, but obviously missed something, thanks!

   I'm glad you like the way we try to hide features until you need it, and some good points, thanks! 1 - we use the comments ("discuss") section for this as it also allows for all this formatting, but it might be nice to bring this to descrip

    Thanks for your comments, this is really helpful! - Good point, we used the 'D'-icon to show other team members that a discussion was needed before this task could be completed, a sort of specific 'waiting for'. Conversely it would also ind

    Thanks! Just making sure it's indeed 90% bug free now.

    We definitely need to release as soon as possible, the private-beta is really just to make sure there aren't any really big problems we've missed. And I suppose it's partially just launch-anxiety :). Flipping the switch with a product that

    Thanks! I'm glad the effort paid off. For me to be able to work with an app almost every day, the app's interface, its "look and feel" is important enough to put as much effort in as we did. I'm pretty happy the way it turned out, glad you

    You can't generate passion and creativity by squeezing 10,000 hours of [forced] practice into someone (especially really young kids). It also leaves little time to explore ('find what you love'). Passion, creativity AND skills (in a lot of

    Actually, what I find interesting is that I see an increasing number of websites make a non-free iPhone application of their site, while the site itself remains free. In the discussion whether or not many '2.0' (yeah, i know..) sites out th

    Couldn't agree more. You really need less than you might think. The whole point of traveling is that you see something new. You're never going to know exactly what you'll run into or do. Trying to prepare for everything is impossible :). Li
