I noticed a few typos here and there (submitted corrections using Send Feedback) but overall, I like it. There've been a few services I've tried to use that blended different…
spondyl on HNTesting right now, feels very snappy. May I ask the tech stack? Also, you guys are probably trying multiple business models.. I'd say that a free tier for small teams (like…
swah on HNThis looks really cool. Great job. One tiny bit of UX feedback... on the pricing page the slider and what the slider changes are too far apart. It took me a while of sliding to…
throwaway2016a on HNI'm genuinely astounded how good this is, simply brilliant. That said UX/UI niggles http://i.imgur.com/xkjYGf1.png the contrast on the hover elements is far too low, if you have…

Better planning view than Trello
From 2 comments
Wow, this is so much better than Trello. You implement exactly what's missing: a "planning" view (Trello's card view sucks so much) and task tracking. Congratulations. However,…
carlesfe on HNThis looks nice. Tough space with established players, but you have some UI ideas here that are better than your competitors. I really like the "outline" view of the boards in…

Objections
Slow drag-and-drop and heavy JavaScript payload
From 2 comments
The signup experience was great! I liked the walkthrough. I'd recommend focusing a bit more on front-end performance though. Dragging cards, for example, was a quite sluggish.…
georgecalm on HNLooks awesome, but the landing page takes a really long time to load on my phone - at least 40 seconds or so. On desktop it also feels a bit slow, but it's not nearly as bad.

Price too high for some users
From 2 comments
Wish this was bit more affordable for some of us in Asia, would really help get everyone more organized.
fareesh on HNVery nice work on the site and the app. I understand the handy features it has that Trello hasn't but am not sure if it has enough to convince me to shell out another $30/month…

Two-factor authentication limited to enterprise plan
From 2 comments
It looks really great. It would be nice if 2-factor authentication was standard (startup/professional) feature, now it's enterprise only.
yabatopia on HN2 Factor Authentication File encryption Should not be a Enterprise only feature, it shouldn't be a feature at all it should be standard.

carlesfe on HNHi uffo, where's the import feature? I couldn't find it. By the way, I really liked your onboarding. Ora is more complex than other tools (since it is many tools in one) but you…

Public API
From 2 comments
Is there an API (even in beta)? I was going to use Trello for something but I would be happy to give this a shot instead, I did want something more customizable and this seems to…
merlinsbrain on HNAn API is a part of our roadmap, but currently we have a lot of features that people would like to see, and we cannot focus on it.

Questions
How does it differ from Trello, Todoist or Nostromo
From 2 comments
This tool looks really nice, great design, although the feature set is very similar to Nostromo.io or Trello. Curious to find out what's the difference.
daniellavarga on HNIMO it is just some mix of Todoist and Trello

Is there a free tier and how is it priced

swah on HNOn your pricing page it mentions 'basic' add-ons and integrations and 'advanced' add-ons and integrations. What are these? I cannot find any other reference to these on your site.
