Needs work
I can see where this app is going, but it needs a lot of work.
A few of the big issues with me are pretty easy to address, so I’ll cover just those:
- Biggest issue: Either can’t find the way to not have it live only in the system bar, or doesn’t support being a standalone window. I was looking to make myself more efficient by having a small window of Pivotal Tracker open next to Tweetbot, but having to constantly go back to the system tray slows me down. The webapp is too big and bulky, but goes too far the other way.
- “All Stories” does nothing in the cross-project view, which is confusing. Just hide it if it’s not an option.
- Attachments. It opens a window in a browser then downloads it. It would be more efficient to show attachments that can be displayed (images) in the app itself. Barring that, if the app is going to open a web browser, don’t just download the file. The web browser will already let me do that and most of the time I just want to view it, not have a copy on my local machine.
I only evaluated it for a short time, because it didn’t improve my efficiency. WIth some changes I could see going back to it though.
