FAILED

they were all too complicated to use and were lacking the copy of board list... and also lacking of share a board with customer via secret link

Besides like trello asana redmine or the millions of less-complicated competitors?

After years of getting excited about things like... Asana... only to be sorely disappointed to find that all of them could do a lot of general things fairly well, not one of them could adapt to my specific workflow.

A good comparison against your front page would be against monday.com or Asana who start with use-cases and practical application.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Used as a positive example of clear product positioning and use-case presentation for business users.

I find this a lot more intuitive than something... made for a large business like... Asana.

these tools could never be adopted despite the org size growing to 1000+ people in my larger team. It was a big pain point.

Absolutely fantastic project management tool; however, does not have the CRM features that Asana has.

Kinda like Asana vs Clickup today - more features doesn t directly translate to better.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Implied project/task management, compared to ClickUp

Seriously, if one day I wake up and write my boss that I'm outta here, notion and slack (and asana...) are way up there on the list of reasons.

Manual issue todo alerts: Use specific tag in Asana to pipe a ticket into Slack channel when team member wants to surface for man

Given the number of tools like Asana... the bar for 'yet another productivity app' is very high, especially for solo founders who already feel tool‑fatigue.

we don’t feel that... Asana... are the tools to bite off.

i use asana or linear for highlevel planning with a calendar

Asana is another decent competitor, though I don't tend to recommend them for project management. Its there though.

We use Asana for high level planning... It’s good for high level stuff and usable by non technical people.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: High-level planning, roadmap, backlog, and tracking non-technical topics (management, HR, sales, support)

FAILED

None of these are viable in larger organisations, they are fine for small projects, but you would have a lot of trouble with them in an enterprise context.
