Zenkit 3.0 - Flexible project management you can share with the world

Hi Product Hunt! 🎉 We’re so excited to announce the release of Zenkit 3.0. Over the years we’ve worked hard to make Zenkit the most flexible, easy to use project management tool any team could ask for. This update marks another step in that direction. Here’s some of what we’ve included in this release: 🎉 Published collections: make any Zenkit collection public on its own webpage ✨ Embeddable collections: visitors can interact with collections on any website 🎨 A redesign based on the new Zenkit design framework 🤓 A publicly documented API 📱 Multitasking support for iPad 😎 'Assigned to me' filter for My Calender 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 MS Teams integration (coming soon) 📅 iCalendar subscriptions to sync with any calendar app We’re most excited about the new published collections - you can use them to easily share project updates with clients via a link, publish a roadmap online, or embed calendars to publicize events. They’re also optimized for search so anyone can find your collections in seconds (and you can add meta descriptions!). If you’d like to give it a try, you can sign up for a free Zenkit account today 👍 If you’ve been with us for a while, tell us what you think! We’re excited to see what you’ll build and share with Zenkit 3.0

I love Zenkit. At first sight, it looks like an easy to use tool but if you have worked with it for a while it's getting better every minute. It got so many features and possibilities for your business.

Pros:

Awesome Design and a powerfull tool for your business.

Cons:

It needs a bit of time to get to know all possibilities and features in Zenkit.

This looks really good, congrats on all the progress! Would love to learn more about the new Zenkit design framework that you mentioned. Is this something that's publicly available or just a better way for your team to build consistent experiences across platforms?

The published collections feature sounds really cool but I have a few privacy concerns... Can there be an option to require a password?

The Zenkit product is, in my opinion, THE leader in this 'getting work done collaboratively' world. I work for a large company which is moving forward with AGILE techniques so Kanban and concept maps thinking are comfortable here. However, the corp standard is not as nimble as Zenkit, so I still find myself leaning on it in order to run my strategies and tasks without leaving anything behind. The move toward being Microsoft-friendly is huge! Thank you. Keep up the great work.

Pros: It really helps keeping on track with my business and personal tasks. It's a great tool for working together in a team. Pretty flexible and powerful Nice UI and UX Cons: It takes quite some time to fully unlock the potential of it I am the CTO of a startup and since we stared using Zenkit for our development processes it really improved our workflow!

Zenkit Helps us a lot to organize our daily work and to be able to establish objectives goals with determined times.

Thanks a lot for the update! Just a quick question: According to your roadmap, a Gantt chart feature is in the works. When will you be releasing it? Would be nice to get an answer! Best Regards

Hey, cool update guys! The mobile apps got so much smoother and easier to use 👏 Good job! Keep up the good work :)

Awesome product! Been using it for maybe 2 years after switching from Trello for personal projects and organization, and I wouldn't swtich back. The biggest things for me are the ease and power of tagging and filtering and the ability to switch between views. A few things on my wishlist: app data could be quicker to load (I don't want to wait for network), I want the ability to create a field on a single card (not across the whole collection)

I am the CEO of a startup and since I stared using Zenkit our structure really improved a lot. We started managing everything in a single place: Wiki, Contacts, Projects, Scrum – instead of using three different tools for that. The great thing with this approach is, that everything can be interconnected and depending on one another. I can link different tasks to certain projects, which are linked to the project manager. I can assign customer or investor contacts to cards and once they're done I can complete them with a single click on a checkbox. With custom filters I can always select, what I want to see. I can filter by project, team member or even contacts. Super convenient and a big simplification of our processes.

Pros:

It enabled me to have everything in one place.

Cons:

It took us a while and some talks to experienced Zenkit users to really be able to unlock the whole power of the tool.

I love this tool!

Love the redesign! Makes the interface so much better. Before it was lacking some contrast - it’s been a gray/white soup with some desaturated colors.

Pros:

Flexibility, having the right visualization for different contexts. This makes Zenkit the swiss army knife of productivity tools.

Cons:

Takes a while to see the advantages, once you learned how to leverage the different modes, it’s super easy and effective to use though.

I am scrum master in a small startup and started using Zenkit for organizing our sprints. It has really powerful features, that distinguishes it from other tools, like Asana or Trello, but it took a while for my scrum members to figure out the UX. Now, as everyone is used to it, it works perfectly for us! Highly recommended.

Pros:

Amazing tool for scrumming!

Cons:

Took some time for our team to figure out the UX.

The API gives me a lot of control over the issues and tasks I love being able to create items on a mindmap, and switch to Kanban, then action them with a Eisenhower matrix.

Pros:

The new API The ability to switch between different visual representations The mindmap view

Cons:

Out of the box conversational integration

We tried many different tools and Zenkit was the only one, that offered all the features we needed for our organization.

Pros:

It has a fantastic design and really powerful features.

Cons:

It needed some time for us to get to know and understand all the possibilities.

Have been using it for quite a while and me and my team love it. Love interconnections with other databases. Really helps with managing teachers and parents.

Pros:

Mindblowing convenience working with databases, easy to use navigation and speed of light.

Cons:

You gotta watch intro video. That is the only con). After that very smooth and intuitive interface and work.

Zenkit is really intuitive and offer a lot of functionalities. You can adapt Zenkit to your way of working unlike many others trello like tools.

Pros:

Intuitive, user friendly, collaboration

Cons:

Nothing

We are amazed that Zenkit isn't drawing more users from the businesses we interact with. On a regular basis we encounter companies with problems we solved with Zenkit.

Pros:

Our teams to use it as our knowledge base, our CRM as well as our collective project / task management tool.

Cons:

It's versatility and power make onboarding a bit slow. Seems daunting to some.

Using Zenkit in a school and never thinkig about going back to google docs again!)

Pros:

Tagging is a bliss. You can tag in one spreadsheet and see it in another!

Cons:

During 1 year of use it crashed once. No data lost, but i was scared.
