      Does "SaaS beta signups" mean podcasters?!

        1. 1

    @AndrewV a video on the landing page works so much better than screenshots. Hope you get it done by Feb!

    1. 1

      Thanks! I'm excited about the video. I played with kdenlive enough to get the basics, add audio, etc. Now I just need to create a long video that I can splice together to tell a quick story (and figure out how to keep the size small and not look compressed to 1990s video standards haha) :)

  5. 2

    EPIC:

    By end of February:

    • Push a new landing page with updated content + a video.
    • Create a proper blog, convert old entries and post a couple new ones. (Done)
    • From January: Solidify next steps for getting some beta users and feedback.
    • Continue push to get out of beta.

    Past however many days:

    • Bugs, typos, misc fixes to docs/blog.
    • Setup another excited beta request, and yet again no use in the system :-P
    • Implemented notification system. Top request from beta testers.

    Next few days:

    • 2 more features needed for notifications: assignees and ability to watch a card for updates.
    • Home page redesign is looking better (I think). Got some ideas for copy.
    • Ugggh. It's so hard with constant UI changes, but I really need to get a full video recorded and edited.

      Oh neat, this is open source! The site feels like a clean design too. I like the in-page demo idea, but I think it makes the UI feel cramped. Might be better to open a new tab?

      1. 1

        Yeah, there's a link to open it in a new tab. I'm experimenting with removing the static navbar (not sure this is a good idea though) - it allows for a larger demo view.

        Also, I think the embedded demo makes it look better because of the curved borders and stuff haha. But you're definitely right that it's more usable in a new tab :)

    2. 2

      Can the notification system be used to bring in the beta testers to come use things?

      1. 1

        I thought about it, so I added some "system notification" tools to send updates, but for now, it's only in-app notifications.

        I think once I have some sort of on boarding UI (which will hopefully include a video tutorial), I'll make an e-mail push to get the beta users to try it again.

        I've thought about a "You have unread notifications"-style e-mail, but I'm wary of it being marked as spam or seeming disingenuous haha
