Result of Pursuing “Ideal Task Management Tool” → Made by Myself

I am Gussie, the Owner & Developer of Repsona LLC.

Task management tool, Knowledge sharing tool, convenient!

I have used various tools in various projects so far. I’ve been using all the tools without any particular inconvenience and the motivation to switch, but I wasn’t completely satisfied.

Slow
Tacky
Hard to use
No kanban
No Gantt chart
Nothing like Wiki
Somehow project doesn’t go well
It will be fun if employees are connected more like Twitter.
It will be interesting if skill level improvement is visualized.
A.I. will work automatically
It would be nice to have a rail to unconsciously follow PMBOK.
(When you are about to make a bad comment) The bot tells you “Your comment, isn’t it too harsh?”

I imagined something like this, and I couldn’t stop being excited, so I decided to make it myself.

What are the major differences from other tools?

There are not many task management tools that can use Gantt charts, Kanban, and Knowledge sharing on a project basis. And I want it to be simple, easy to understand and run smoothly.

I want to write knowledge sharing in the same tool

I thought that social media inside the task management tool would make our job more enjoyable. There is an interesting Twitter-like conversation there. (This is a hypothesis)

I thought that if there was an “organization” above the project, the activity in the task management tool could be used as an indicator of “evaluation”. With a function like “Upgrading skills!”, Reviewing the numbers regularly will lead to the growth of members (this is also a hypothesis).

Other tools have a lot of functions to finish the task, but there are not many ways to enjoy it. I want to make the relationship with people at work fun and meaningful. I’m thinking about such a rough direction.

Does this tool work automatically by A.I.?

Work becomes more automated and entertaining. I look forward to that future. I want to make it, but it is not implemented yet. For now, I want to develop with priority is

Repeated task
Organization and scoring
More easy to use
Mobile version
Slack integration

Bot says, “Your comment, isn’t it too harsh?”. I wrote a huge amount of ideas that it would be interesting if there was such a feature. I would like to introduce them in Medium and implement them.

Official launch on October 1, 2019.

I am very happy to get feedback. You can contact us on Twitter or website. I would like to respond at an unusual speed.

What I found after actually making and releasing

I learned the severity of the world. What was the situation one month after beta release? What should I do? I would like to write in other articles such as experiences and failure stories, my own considerations and the results of trial and error.

Technical things

I selected Vue.js / Nuxt.js / Sails.js / TypeScript / AWS Fargate as the technology stack. In particular, I think Nuxt.js was a great answer. The details of this structure and the knowledge gained will be presented in other articles.
