Pretty simple and easy to use. However as someone who uses teambox.com I find it lacking quite a bit. I use Team Box for features like the gant chart, other app integration, and team sharing.
I can definitely appreciate the work but I would need a better reason to switch.
Thank you for the awesomeness you have infused your post with. I began on the very road you've suggested not to take about a year, never got anywhere with programming. Got a 9-5 after graduating then finally started doing what you've suggested...
Quit my cube job, got a technical internship, and code practically every breathing moment I'm not at work...friends and fun...what are those again? :P
Super smart on AA's part, with this and their sponsorship of things like Startup American they're weaving themselves into the startup and hacker community. At the end of the day they're going to get way more than $10,000 worth of ideas/apps/products.
The idea is cool and the browser looks like it would have some pretty neat features. But realistically I feel like there's already Google plugins and extensions that will let me do the majority of things shown in the video.
Not to bash on the product, but the logo also reminds me of and makes me feel like I'm using a spam filled search engine that's going to add yet another junk tool bar to the top of my browser.
Definitely love the idea of revolutionizing the web browser though.
It's a cool looking alternative. But functionally I know it doesn't really meet my needs. The circles make the calendar view somewhat confusing to look at and I'm not a big fan of not being able to look at my tasks in order that they have to be completed within an individual group.
Really like the idea!Funny thing is I always advised people to do this when I worked at a web hosting company but somehow never actually got my own father to implement this in his business...time to practice what I once preached.
Thank you for the advice, the thought of this being one of the last chances to really spend time with my father has definitely been a big factor in my decision.
I have to say it looks pretty darn sweet. Super clean and fluid...but then again it is a promo video.
I do want to know how well it'll play with other services and apps. The video chat part of the video looks awesome but if others have to be on Ubuntu to be able to take full advantage of it's feature I'll be disappointed.
The first one is probably not what your asking for but I'm putting in just in case. The second link is a really good though. Video interviews of the biggest names.
I'd be interested in reading about this as I might be going into teaching at-risk high school kids. Do you have anything written on this or a site I can visit?
I would agree with you to a certain extent. However I think with how popular startups are becoming and with the number of people wanting to become a "coder"...(which I will shamelessly include myself as trying to become.) were starting to see a shift towards respecting the ability of programmers more and more.
People are slowly starting to realize that "oh crap, these guys can turn the switch off on my "thing" if they wanted to." So people are starting to wake up a little bit.
The fact that even the kids themselves realize the lack of quality in the teachers should be a huge indicator that something isn't right.
