Everyone in a real world project has roles and depending on his roles can see/do a specific set of tasks/actions.
Right now you're probably creating multiple projects for handling this (a separate project for keeping your client up to date without them getting involved with your development team?)
Taskulu makes it all easier by letting you define roles and permissions for the people involved with your project with a really simple interface so you as the project manager can spend less time on the management process and get better results.
We've got other features, including realtime communications, time tracking, and more importantly, the ability to define roles and dynamic permissions (so two users with two different roles see two different views of the the same project!)
Our target is teams of 10-20 people, and companies doing client projects and outsourcing parts of the work (they usually want to keep the client(s) in the loop without them getting in direct contact with the developers and the remote teams).
Man, if someone builds something like this with github issue board support, I'm won over. Currently I use zenhub but it annoys me that it's so simplistic (e.g. dragging something to the last column won't close the issue, and closing the issue makes it disappear) and doesn't really allow non-github tasks, so I have to pollute my issue list. I'm torn whether to switch to their paid plan or not.
Thanks for the feedback, Github support is actually on our todo list and is under development! follow @taskulu on twitter, we'll post about new features there!
I can't see anything without signing up? How as a user should I know whether it's worth signing up for ? Or indeed what I am signing up for. A simple 'About' or 'Features' section is much needed IMHO.
Aside from this, once you're in it looks awesome. Like someone added all the great features that a project manager would want added to trello!
We had a features page before (actually, our homepage talked a lot about the features too), but we decided to simplify everything and just focus on our UVP - Roles and Permissions. But depending on the results and feedback we get we might just put the features page back!
I can't reproduce this error, can you please give me your user name so I can take a look and see if there's something wrong with your account specifically? Thanks!
Looks nice. The guys took a good look at trello, that's obvious. But I think they tackled some of the problems we're having with trello and some of the workflows we sortof patched on top of trello.
Yep, of course we got ideas from Trello! We love Trello, but it lacked some features which made it hard to use for us - Most importantly we were creating multiple boards on Trello to keep track of a single project (clients/remote teams/local teams/etc) and that's why we added in-project roles and permissions!
You're not limited to 4 lists on Taskulu! You can have as many lists as you want (and Sheets/Boards within your projects). But To make it easier to follow the process, each list can have up to 4 sections (i.e. todo/doing/testing/done - You can change the section titles.) - if you change it so that each list has only one section it'll act exactly like Trello :)
Theres a little bit of a annoyance/bug during the sign up process. I signed in with Google so you populated the email field for me (awesome) and the username field (also awesome). However, since you copied my email name for the username I have a "." in the username which the form didn't like when I actually went to submit.
However, from my brief look, there are two things that would prevent me from moving from trello:
1. The in-task checklists that trello has
2. I use the trello app on my phone a lot while I commute. I especially like the "quick add card" feature. I don't think I can switch to another tool until it has a decent (Android) app... (maybe this has one and I overlooked, but I wouldn't expect a brand new web app to also have mobile apps)
Thanks! We do have in-task checklists, try editing the task description, you can add checklists to the task description using a Github-style markup. Also, Android and iOS apps are coming soon! :)
Another Task management app... I think it's fine as far as it goes, but I'd like to see a protocol based implementation of this stuff that is simple enough to work as human readable extensions to email (one of the transports, obviously a rest central server being another).
Then you can use whichever interface you want or build one yourself.
There are in app tutorials once you create a new project and there should be a "Welcome to Taskulu" sample project for new users! I'll check to see if it's not being created... Thanks!

Is there ever going to be an on-premise / self-hosted version (e.g. https://www.taskfort.com)?
/shameless plug
one thought: Remove the Logout from the sidebar and just keep it up there with on/near the profile. already misclicked it :)
> Same project as viewed by two peoeple having different roles
I know... It's niggly!

I feel a little dumb missing the checklist now - there's a big button right in front of me! Nice!
One last thing that would prevent me from switching: I don't see any terms of service or privacy policy on your site.
Will try to have the team to switch to Taskulu.

Meh, maybe I'm crazy.
