Title's a tad misleading but kind of catchy :)

TL;DR version is a project about solving tech gaps by redesigning useful online services as SMS products. It's a pretty fun UX challenge to do, thought I'd share


That's a really interesting prospect, we hadn't really thought about educational licensing because we weren't sure of the applications. But we'll definitely keep that in mind


At the moment we don't have the capacity or resources to support free accounts, however we are offering a free thirty day trial without requiring any payment details from the user. If we find a stable revenue stream or raise investment we will be able to consider freemium as an option.


Thank you! Matterhorn is at its best once you get a couple of projects started and have team members onboard, which is why we didn't go with a demo approach to start with, but hearing from everyone about wanting more details about how it works we're going to try and find a better way to showcase the features.


Definitely plans to integrate with Github. We're working on rolling out better integrations over the coming month, we're especially excited about adding slack integration too.


Anyway to sign up to an announce list?

Without github integrations this would end up being another tool to divide our time across, but with github integration then I could see it solving the higher level project management issues that github doesn't do so well.


I know what you mean, I often have a chuckle at the dummy text in screenshots of other products, but it is easy to miss when you have lots of test data names left in there. Updated this now :)


+1, looks much nicer :)


That's a really good point. We were trying not to be too sales-pitchy and just get across why we love Matterhorn and how it can help you with your projects. I think the word resource was a bit of misplaced "marketing-speak" that went into the final version. Taking your recommendation on board :)


WOOO! Happy to hear it. :D Thanks for the response!


Thank you!

We're planning on developing the pricing structure so that there are a couple of more options.

At the moment we're trying to gauge traction and get enough users to be able to take the project further.

On a side note, that PM tool comparison link is a great resource!


Thank you! We're working on creating a tour page that would walk you through more of the features and explain how it differs from the competition.


Just to add to the positive feedback - the problem statement of "people in different roles have different goals" spoke to me immediately. If you stay focused on solving that problem, and pull it off really well, this could be a great product! (I signed up, but haven't played with it yet.)


Thanks for letting us know! Typekit can be a bit of a bastard at times!

Perhaps at least use sans-serif as a fallback font?
