Built a task manager because I was tired of Asana for a 3-person team

The problem
Every small team I worked with had the same issue: tasks got assigned but ownership stayed unclear, context got buried in chat, and work either got duplicated or quietly forgotten. Tools like Asana/ClickUp solve this by adding more features — more views, more automations. I wanted the opposite.

What I built
DistroTask — a task manager with almost no learning curve. The only thing it asks you to think about is "who owns this, and what do they need to know." No onboarding flow, no admin panel to configure before your team can start.

Where I'm at
Just launched. [X usuarios / 0 usuarios todavía / X equipos probándolo] — being fully honest, I'm at the "find the first real users" stage.

What I'd love feedback on

  • If you run a small team (2-6 people): how do you currently handle task ownership? Is it actually a problem for you, or am I solving something that doesn't hurt enough to switch tools?

  • Anyone willing to try it for a week and tell me what's missing? Genuinely want the criticism, not the politeness.

Built it in react for the ui and go for the backend.
