Haven't been a fan of Ubuntu for a while.

Dropped it a few years ago and switched to Mac.

At this point, any company supporting russian web infrastructure is in effect aiding and abetting war crimes. I think it is time for Cloudflare and others to join the good guys like Apple and Amazon, Adobe, AMD, Dell, Dropbox, Etsy.

It's about time someone decide to take our privacy seriously. Surprised it is apple though.

Apple only does this because they take your money seriously --- a lot of your money.

If you think about it, they really didn't have much choice. It's becoming increasingly difficult for them to justify the outrageous cost of Apple's walled ecosystem. Perfectly good phones with similar features and capabilities are available for a fraction of the cost.

So what can Apple offer to justify their extortion? Pay up and we won't burn your privacy. The cost to Apple --- zero, nada. It's really almost a mafia style tactic. They're selling you something that already belongs to you.

Zuckerberg should have seen it coming. Next up, Google will copy Apple and start building similar social media features into Android that encroach on Facecrook's market. The required features are already there, they just need to be repackaged.

The only reasonable way for Facecrook to resist is by building their own competing hardware. But they already tried that years ago. Bye, bye Facecrook, I'm not going to miss ya.

Great book

Funny how this is turning out. People who live off that ice have been saying this for years, but we need some "fancy" model to tell us that.

I completely agree, that was one of my biggest issues with other tools. They cater to a wider audience.

I'll add it as a premium setting :)

Also a scrum adaptor? So everyone works as they want to based on common sense, but the software reports that in a scrummy way to the higher ups.

Thank you, I've been wanting to build something that works well for myself. After reading Jeff Sutherland's book, my ideas came together to the new layout and the design.

I don't know how far this will go or if it'll be successful, But I gotta give it a go.

Hey Hacker News crowd. After a year or so toying around with my idea, thinking about the new approach and talking to people, I have decided to build a new scrum based project management app. It's going to revolve around a new board layout and concept and include the important bits of the scrum process.

If you're interested, sing up to be notified when I have the beta version ready. Hopefully in a month or two. If not, tell your friends.

Thank you Terry

The page is too light on details. What is different about this vs the hundreds of alternatives out there? Why would I switch from a different product? How do I know if I'm your target buyer?

Just put the page together this week. Will be adding more detail to it. The idea is to get away from the kanban board look and to help you track your sprint flow. Capture standup notes, sprint planning notes, manage backlog more effectively.

I just wanted to see if there was interest. Looks like there is. That's awesome.

I'll spend some time this week adding more details to the page.

> The idea is to get away from the kanban board look and to help you track your sprint flow.

Can you say why? Kanban is literally the only thing I like about capital-A Agile. I doubt either of will convince the other to change our minds. But in the interest of helping you refine what you’re building and how you communicate it, articulating what you don’t want is valuable too.

Originally Kanban was designed to visually track inventory. It is useful in that context because you could easily spot the items that need refilling.

I've been doing project management for a over a decade now and from my experience, and interviewing people, reading, I realized that people work best in lists. Top to bottom, most important tasks at the top, least important at the bottom. It helps us focus and get more done.

So that's the primary idea behind it.

Thanks for the response. I’m more confused than when I started.

You’re saying Kanban was designed to track inventory. I think that’s true but not completely accurate. It was designed to track work and inventory together.

> people work best in lists. Top to bottom, most important tasks at the top, least important at the bottom. It helps us focus and get more done.

I’m so confused! This is exactly what Kanban is supposed to be. It’s not supposed to be anything more than that, or less.

Where did the bad PM Jira you?

Kanban is most often used for tracking inventory, so you can technically use it to track your tasks with it. It kinda gives you a big picture view. And one of the reasons why Kanban is effective in the inventory process is because it provides you a visual signal to replenish you inventory.

As a process for tracking work, it is lacking for a number of reasons. There is too much information on the board at any one time. It is too open, meaning, you can create as many columns as you need, which leads to unnecessary complexity.

Finally, the Kanban system works well for moving physical items (completed items) from one station to next. It is not used for changing states of items. We use it to change state on incomplete tasks (i.e from Blocked to Todo to Inprogress), which not what Kanban is for.
