This looks really cool. My intention was to poke at it, check the source, etc.. and when I was presented with a signup form, I swam away.

Please, if you could, try making a publicly available demo (without signup).

Adding a page of full-resolution screenshots would also be helpful.

That's a good idea. I'll work on improving the screen shots on the landing page.

A video that demonstrates the collaborative workflow between two people would probably highlight the differentiating value proposition more as well.

The few screenshots are blurred out, so I have no idea if it supports my workflow. I'm not going to sign up without more info. Replace that carousel with a video demoing the features and it'd be a lot more helpful.

I signed up, and I really want to like it :) but it is kind of confusing, there are a lot of required fields etc.

I think you should work on UI quite a bit. Also when user signs up, create a default team and project for them so they can see those.

Best of luck. Post when you have new version.

Thanks! I'm very interested if you have any ideas for UI enhancements - please let me know what you think using the User Voice forum, or get in touch with me via the contact methods on the site. Thanks again for the sign-up :)

sprint.ly has a nice experience. You could probably glean a few tricks from their flow.

What he said :) don't copy, but you can see how things can be much simpler

Good job! I haven't yet seen git integration - does it have it and I'm just missing it?
dcw303
Not yet - although I've had a few requests for github integration, which I'm looking into.

Awesome - once it's got some hooks for resolving tickets by commit messages I'm all in :) Nice work.

Wow, it's pretty realtime. I signed in immediately after creating my account, and it said I need to confirm my email. I clicked the link in the email and a new tab opened, but my existing tab refreshed as soon as that link opened, taking me right to my dashboard. I've never had that experience with any other website.
