What do you think of this feature?

Last week I shared a todo list with my co-founder inside our new project management app.

Today, I was curious about the status of an item on the list...

But instead of Slack-ing him, where the convo would be lost in the midst of all our other discussions, I used our new app to start a chat directly in the todo list.

Now instead of needing to find our tiny discussion needle in a chat log haystack, when I need to reference it later – it will be organized for me, exactly where I need it. (Alongside the todos the discussion is about.)

No extra documentation effort or note-taking required.

Here's a video of what it looks like and how it works:

    I think a chat is very useful anywhere, is it like a real chat with real-time?

    I think tools like todo lists, card boards (trello, asana), Document ones (Notion) are pushing the async work, make people not depend on others to be available at the same time you're working

    If I have in mind "async work" then maybe a thread could make the job done, I mean, having a chat (real-time) is kind of pushing the sync work, and personally, I like to have just one chat app, like slack or microsoft teams.

    But I can think is some situation where this feature provides value to people, like sharing this to people outside the team, or a small team which a todo list is their main managment tool and so on, so... sure! it will be useful, this is just my thought, cheers!

      Tell me more about what you mean by sharing this to people outside the team? (Our app originally started as a community management app, so I find this thought interesting.)

        Like for example, if a team has a pretty complex tasks on their managment tool, and you don't want a client/Stakeholder to see that much overwhelming information, then this tool is kinda perfect, sync/create the todo items the way that entities (client) can understand the progress the team is doing without overwhelming them with low level vocabulary... not sure if the chat would require the client/stakeholder to have an account but this is the idea :P

        This is just one scenario but there could be more than this c:
