On: Our take on 37Signals Draft product page [Taskforce]

[maccman]

The idea is that by the time you scroll to the bottom of the page, you should have a pretty clear idea about the product and how it's useful to you.

Is it a mac application? Or cross platform? Web? Mobile?

Email replies? Email replies to what?

How does it integrate with Gmail?

It's probably better to present this as a story.

[maccman → sjs382]

I guess it's not as explanatory as I intended.

It's three things: * A cross platform desktop app * Gmail plugin * iPhone app

If you create a task for someone not using the system, it'll send them an email instead. Any replies to that email will get turned into comments in Taskforce.

I think you're right about representing it as a story, perhaps a life cycle of a particular task.

In that case it looks very very cool and I signed up for the beta. Great work.

But when I first read through I too was confused about the comparison to 37signals and their new draft app.

[nickgeiger → maccman]

Maybe it's because I came in from the HN link, but I was extremely confused by this. I had never seen the draft page before so when I saw the task for "put together draft like product page", I was trying to understand what that meant and find a reference and the page was obviously not helpful so I had to read the HN comments and go find the draft page to get it. Perhaps the same idea of screenshots would work better with a different example that doesn't require as much background knowledge.
