KanbanPad Notes

Index Page

  • Lots of red on the index with two login/register buttons and the task box highlight. I'd drop it from the task box, after the first task is added they know it's important.
  • I didn't immediately figure out that I put things "In Progress" by dragging them below the marker. Maybe more of a "line" across the column and going through the words "In Progress"
  • I thought the arrow ("play button") was going to expand the box to show more details, whups
  • Created a task, got "21" in the corner. My thought process: "Eh, what's 21?", double click, "the task number? Who cares about task numbers?"
  • Help for task bar should have complete examples. Maybe a light box with a 15 second video, "Just enter XYZ in the task bar and it gets put into X project and assigned to Z"
  • What about some way to indicate the ones I've most recently looked at? Most recently added? Thinking about a UI kinda like when you go to System Prefs on Mac OS then enter a term in the search box.
  • Some "log" function, like an audit log, so I can see who did what, when. What about taking inspiration from HipMonk.com, charting actions over time/duration?

Details Screen

  • Where's the gravatar?
  • So much space from labels (left) to boxes (almost center) is hard to track visually
  • Title and Urgency could probably do without labels. Title could just use a size bump up and default text in the box. Urgent could just be check box with the word "Urgent". Opportunity for some cute UI thing like an iphone-style slider or something.
  • Assigned to might be a cool use of something like http://www.getharvest.com/blog/2011/07/chosen-plug-in/ to have quick access to people already assigned tasks in this project
  • It kinda bugs me how Submit/Delete are left aligned and Add Comment is right
  • The orange in the title bar almost looks like an error condition. Turn down the intensity a bit?
  • I wish I could drag the window around to see things on the index at the same time
  • You know people will want to be able to have two open at the same time
  • Attachments?
  • On a small 11" MBA resolution, the page jumps up and down when I double-click to show the details
  • I wish I saw the details with just a single click
