Adding one honest Feedback. At first glance i found the "tutorial-function" quite interessting. The service is showing me, what i have to do/can do. But, being a little bit more savvy in using these kind of apps, I missed a "Stop the tutorial" button.
So I had to wait, before I could start making a plan. this friction was too much after some time and my mind just closed.
There is a skip button, but it clearly isn't clear enough. I think it probably needs to be more directive 'skip this and let me plan' - thanks for feedback
We don't have that in yet, I'll make sure we get a fix into the next update as you're right it's important. In the meantime if you want your details removed please email me - rich@plan.nr and I'll make sure it's actioned.
Looks good! One thing that seems weird: after signing up I'm asked to connect my social profiles to be able to invite people to my Plans. However, after connecting my Twitter profile I'm redirected to http://beta.plan.nr/beta which tells me I'm not on the beta list.
Is that supposed to happen?
Ninja edit. One more thing: why not use Gravatar for the profile pics, or make that an option at least?
Hey, if you email rich@plan.nr with your details (primary email is the important thing) we will take a look into the twitter issue. It definitely shouldn't be doing that...
I had not really thought about using Gravatar, but it does seem like a nice way to provide profile pics for those who use it, we will look at getting it implemented in a future update.
Great great step by step guide. Did you guys do that inhouse or used a framework? I'm in need of similar feature. Good job on the design, it looks great. I think I had similar problem with the fb import, once it kicked back from FB, it showed me "Oops.. Plannr is currently in private beta and your details dont seem to be on our beta list. Add your name to the signup list below, and we will contact you as soon as we have a spare invite. If you think you deserve to skip the queue drop us an email to beta@plan.nr and tell us why!"
Just bumped the server with an update to the social connection issue - should be back online now. Thank you so much for your feedback so far it has been really useful.
Yep, sorry for the downtime, we only have a single server at the moment, so no redundancy for doing updates, and it seems a few people were having the social connection issue, so it needed an emergency patch...

Very good idea for "not so savvy" users, though.
glad I used one of my bullshit-spam mail-addresses...
