@cyclia Yes, we are currently in the private beta phase with Zapier which will support integrations with Slack. We will build more direct integrations with core products based on user feedbackafter that thanks for your support. I really appreciate it.

@dansiepen Thansk Dan really appreciate your support. We did a fairly short Beta where I leveraged my existing network and got about 200 sign ups there. What I found however was that since going live the user behaviour between people who discover Task Pigeon naturally compared to those I just asked for feedback during the beta has been very different. Our new users are much more engaged, come back more often and have more team members. I actually wrote about some of the lessons learnt here http://blog.taskpigeon.co/lesson... That said we are talking small numbers, <20. But last time I checked I think we have had ~50 today from Product Hunt, so will be interesting to see if they stick around and what their user behaviour is like

@milesb Thanks Miles, yes I have seen a direct correlation between my openness and transparency, and the level of interest in Task Pigeon and my other projects. I guess as a starting point 18 - 24months ago I didn't know anyone in the local startup community. A side project I run is a startup newsletter and I saw first hand how that was able to grow my network and put me in touch with other founders, investors, reporters etc. The amount of opportunity from this alone was enough to show me that transparency works. As a result when it came time to launch Task Pigeon I wanted to share my journey for those very same reasons. The support from the startup community has been fantastic. The amount of people who have emailed or messaged me to say that they appreciate the effort I put in has even surprised me. As you know content marketing is a long term play but I my goal is to create a brand that people feel as if they are part of. Thanks again for your support.

@iamwormify haha, thanks Luke.... Kinda of. When I was thinking of a name I didn't want to go with something that could get lost in the crowd or sound boring. I came up with the idea for Task Pigeon because of the old carrier pigeons who would take messages between towns back in the day. We do a same thing today but just in electronic format. A few people though it was a weird name. Someone even asked why I would name my company after a dirty street bird, but overall the response has been positive

@iamwormify No worries. I appreciate the Q's

@iamwormify Thanks Luke I really appreciate it

@iamwormify Awesome! Thank you Luke!

@dredurr Thanks for your message. I agree that it is a competitive space, but my release and the user testing I did before launch suggested that there isn't a one size fits all approach (yes I know some will probably disagree). The current design of task pigeon reflects how I like to manage tasks and has significantly improved my own productivity. The design also got some good feedback during our early testing. I blog about all of this openly on the site so you can read in more detail there if you like. The overarching vision however is that if you have a team or 5 or 10 people. Some on that team will prefer to view their tasks as a list, others will prefer a calendar views, some will rather just work from their email inbox and not the app. That is the vision of Task Pigeon that we are building. We just started with the "task tile" view to begin with. Hope that helps share some further insight.

@pvptowers @dredurr hey Paul, I echo Deandre's question - other than the view, is there anything which sets Task Pigeon apart functionally from other productivity apps out there? You mentioned your user research indicated 'no one size fits all approach'? It sounds like there might be something valuable underneath that, so would love to hear more. Also, I think Asana now has a multi-view ability? Is this any different? Or what about Unito which can synch across multiple platforms? Good luck!

@samrye_enspiral Hi Sam, really appreciate the comment and your support. I don't know if you saw the comment I just left for @dean_mcpherson below? but that essentially is my thoughts. In particular I like how dean sums it up where he says that we are trying to separate task management from the immediate UI. I.e. the allocation of tasks should be just as seamless online as it is in an office where you would just tell a colleague whats need to be done and they are free to go and plan, implement and manage that as they wish. I also blog fairly heavily about our journey and what led us to this point. If you wanted to know more you can find lots of those posts here http://blog.taskpigeon.co/

@pvptowers @dean_mcpherson ok cool, so following the trend towards multi-UI such as the way Trello has tight slack integration, a chrome extension, an API for desktop clients, etc? Makes sense. It's a busy space, so I'm hoping you also have something else to set you apart. Example: I was coaching a NZ startup a few years back which was exploring a gap in productivity apps. They found 2 main pieces which weren't touched on in (m)any other apps they could find: - habit formation (many tasks are repetitive and could be improved over time, or turned into workplace/team habits which take less cognitive load) - wellbeing of users (the GSD mantra of productivity apps was actually negatively affecting most users' wellbeing, so they explored micro mindfulness baked into the platform to counteract this)

@samrye_enspiral Thanks Sam. I will definitely take it all on board. I agree that there is more that needs to be done to hit on this objective. Thanks again for your support.

@dean_mcpherson thanks Dean appreciate the support and love what you are doing over at Paperform. It all really comes back to providing flexibility. I am sure lots of us can relate to a situation where we were forced to use a tool by our company or manager and it just didn't work how we wanted it to. That reflects the long term vision of Task Pigeon - so people love the board view, but others want tiles, or lists, or a calendar view. Others only want to work from email. By combining all these idea you could have a large team with each member still having the flexibility to track and manage the tasks how they want to, not how their manager tells them to or makes them

@pvptowers That makes a lot of sense, so you're kind of trying to separate Task Management from the immediate UI. It would be great to see a slack app for this! Managing your tasks from a chat interface would be a natural extension of that vision.

@dean_mcpherson Thanks again Dean, love how you put it with separating the task management from the UI. I'm going to steal that as a quote as that is our vision in a nutshell. Love the idea re: slack apps and deeper integration with chat. Thanks again
