Hey @allnick – thanks for the feedback. Implementing more direct way to connect users with ideas is definitely one of the things on our list! Would you mind sharing more details about your PM process needs / use cases?
I love this! Feels so good to be able to get things out of my brain and into a format that has more hierarchy than a bullet point list but not as much brain strain as other PM tools. Really great work.
Looks great. It's simple yet powerful if used properly. It would be nice to have a definition of value and effort so that everyone is aligned on the same scale.
It would be nice to have a way (if it's not there yet), to share with stakeholders (management, clients...) a view of the upcoming features on a timeline.
The problem I have right now, it that we (PM, companies...) most of the time end up with a lot of tools and that produces a lot of overhead and in the end, it's not in sync anymore and we just stop using them. The main challenge is to build a tool that do all these things right (collecting feedback, prioritizing features, organizing them, sharing the roadmap...) and keeping it simple.
Wish you lots of success!
@alesas All good points, thanks for the feedback – we're just getting started but the plan is definitely to make Makergrid more powerful, while keeping it simple enough. Fully fledged roadmap is not there yet, though you can use the column (trello-like) view to manage the lifecycle of the ideas!
Hey Makers,
as a relatively small team of 10 people, we've tried many approaches to our PM process here over at Baremetrics.
If you're anything like we were - ideas coming from you, your team or the ones that your customers shared with you easily spread across Notion docs, Airtables, Google Sheets, Typeforms, Notes or even paper writings.
On the other side, complex PM solutions we've tried often felt like an overkill for a team without a dedicated Product Manager.
Makergrid is our take on simple product management tool focused on keeping it easy to have your ideas in one place, easily prioritize them and manage their lifecycle.
Our goal is to empower small teams to make better product decisions – without feeling overwhelmed by managing just another tool.
We'd love to hear how you handle PM process at your company - especially in smaller ones. And obviously, we'd be delighted if you try Makergrid and tell us what you think!
Very good concept & design ... but not ready to pay 19 per month :( ... I stay with my google keep ... but if you think about a freemium version could be good :)
@valentin85 Hey Valentin! Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it! What kind of project are you thinking of using Makergrid for? :)
@steve_yang1 Thanks! We're still in the process of figuring out the complete package - we'll possibly introduce more pricing tiers and features to fit more use cases :)
@steve_yang1 Agreed. Todoist premium is $29/year. At this price it should probably do some of the work for me. ;)
I like this! It's helpful seeing tasks you've assigned yourself in a line graph of sorts. I think that it is an interesting take on task visualization that I don't think I ever considered wanting to see. I could see this working really well as a big picture task view.
Thanks for the feedback @splitaixs – that's actually one of the use-cases we worked with from the very beginning, happy to see you like that!
