Great project management, bug tracking, issue tracking and support, along with the information your team needs to make good decisions about what they're building. Integrations with key tools like Slack, GitHub & Trello are free and easily customizable, and search and management features are simple and powerful.
I like the team behind this, but the intro video goes on a bit long (I lost focus around :30) and the visual design... is hard to get behind, especially after becoming used to using more [personally] attractive and polished software like Asana and Slack.
I'm curious how this aesthetic was arrived at?
@chrismessina C'mon Chris, you can manage a 2 min video! :) Do you mean the site or product design? The latter is an evolution from the underlying FogBugz engine it runs on. There's more detail about that here: https://blog.fogcreek.com/from-f...
@_gw honestly, I couldn't! Maybe the details were a little dry or maybe I've watched a lot of these videos specifically for this kind of software and was interested to hear less about features and more about your team's insights and ideas about how people should work/collaborate be productive... and as a result, this tool grew out of that. Instead it felt like a feature onboarding and I just couldn't maintain my focus!
Thanks for that post — that's useful. I specifically just mean the visual design — colors, fonts, borders, etc. It looks kind of like the previous version of Gmail or Google Calendar... it's possible that this style is more developer friendly and just doesn't suit my personal taste, and of course that's totally fine...!
@rrhoover Nah, not a Trello competitor at all (though I'd say probably a _JIra_ competitor?) — we integrate with Trello and think a lot of teams that are outgrowing Trello's simplicity will probably want to connect it to Manuscript.
@rrhoover@anildash Atlassian bought Trello and integrated it into Bitbucket. Now it feels like Fog Creek started from scratch here to build a better Bitbucket. :P
