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

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

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.

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 :)

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" t

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, th

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

Hi there, we're currently still working out a good price point that would allow us to keep this project rolling while not putting off users. We've been completely bootstrapped up until this point and are hoping to be able to slow

Thanks for giving Matterhorn a chance! It's really good for us to see feedback on the price point. We've been completely bootstrapped up to this point and are trying to find a price point that would be good for our users but at th

I see your point, the initial tagline on this was "project management no matter what your team looks like" which made a bit more sense with the aspirational lifestyle props, it does make a bit less sense now. None of us own a mous

Great point, we were working on creating a better tour of the product but decided to launch a more stripped down version just to test the waters, ended up getting a lot more attention than we thought we would! Working on presenting a better

I wouldn't say project management is really a solved problem, and definitely wouldn't claim that Matterhorn solves 100% of all problems with project management systems. The biggest issue we had in our team was that some team membe

Yes exactly, Matterhorn's niche is really for managing multiple projects at once, allowing you to have global overview as well as allowing you to focus in on what needs doing in the moment

Hey, thanks for great advice. Demo is a really great idea, we're planning to expand the landing page with more info but went for an early launch just to test the waters. Ended up with a lot more attention than anticipated :)

Hey there, I'd say the key difference between Matterhorn and Trello is that Matterhorn is more aimed at allowing a team to maintain multiple projects at once - for example overviewing the progress of all your projects at once and plann
