Disclosure: I work for Planio

I use a mixture of a piece of paper + Planio.

To-do lists get fairly messy. In Planio I use the filters to find exactly what I need quickly. For example, I can call up all the issues that belong to a certain category, that have a certain status such as "working on it".

I like having the flexibility to "see" my tasks in different context depending on what I'm trying to achieve.

For example, I can visualize the tasks on a Kanban style board to see how much stuff I have on right now. I can look at the calendar to see upcoming deadlines, or I can use the Gantt chart to see dependancies.

*Edited as I suppose it's more of a disclosure than a disclaimer :)

This move actually generated a lot of controversy over on Hacker News in relation to the professional plans: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11673103

In some cases, some people are now paying 10x more: https://twitter.com/thomasfuchs/status/730415066399518720

In the spirit of offering alternatives, we created a quick price calculator to show you whether you’d be better off moving from GitHub to Planio: https://plan.io/github-alternative/ But don’t hate us too much GitHub. We still love you :)

With feedback like that, you should accept it. Don't justify or explain yourself. You're not trying to change the mind of the person giving feedback, you're trying to improve your game/yourself.

>A culture of Build! Build! Build! can encourage sloppiness.

It's also what creates quality. Most of the high quality stuff we have in our civilization comes from iteration.

>The story concerns a ceramics teacher, who split their class in two groups. One group was graded on the pure quantity of work they produced, simply by weighing each of their pots when the class was over. 50 pounds of pots would earn the student an A, 40 pounds a B, and so on.
>
>The other half of the class was scored on quality. They were only tasked with making a single pot, but it had to be perfect for them to earn an A.
>
>When the teacher scored all the pottery, guess which group produced the best pots? The group that made more.
>
>The more pots they created, the more mistakes they made, and the more they learned. By the end of the class, they were creating high-quality pots, due to all the quantity they'd churned out and learned from.

I bet Elon was inspired by this exact story (and his own experiences in design and production).

My confidence stems mainly from two things:

1. They have a clear vision for what they want their game to be and have never wavered from it. When discussing other games with people, I often ask, “What’s the elevator speech for that?” In other words, can you describe in a few sentences what the game is supposed to be? Camelot Unchained’s elevator pitch is simple—“Tri-Realm warfare on a massive scale never before achievable.” Everything they’ve done has, in some way, been in furtherance of that goal. They’ve never had “scope creep” or “feature creep”. Conversely, they’ve never had to say, “X was part of our original vision for this game, but it turns out that it won’t be possible.” I haven’t seen any watering-down of their feature list at all.
2. Again, they’ve been consistently transparent in their reporting of their progress and setbacks. And yes, we all agree that the progress has not been as swift as anyone has hoped—including CSE, I’m sure. But it’s been there and it’s been steady. The only time I know of where they actually had to scrap work that they’d done was the “re-abilitation” that happened in 2015 or 2016 I believe—their method of coding abilities turned out to have been much clunkier and resource-intensive than they’d expected; they came up with a more efficient method, but then had to rewrite the ability system from scratch. There’s some discussion about it here on this subreddit, but I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it to link it.

Have a great day!

I use https://plan.io for project management. They will send PGPed email if you upload your public key.

Using a privacy respecting mail provider or running your own mail server might be a more straightforward way to avoid getting your email scanned. Lavabit and Protonmail seem OK. I wouldn't touch hushmail.

Just saw this now as well. Sorry for the late response.

> Is there such an import feature, or is there one planned? That is when I'd try it out, for sure.

Sure! Importing is a personal business, though, at Planio as we want to make sure to get this really right. But it's free for new customers in all paid plans.

We're building Planio to strike the balance between ease of use for non-tech people and dev friendly features, like Git commit integration, code highlighting, etc.

Do we have a Asana vs. Planio comparison page? Glad you're asking. Yes we do =)
