Q: 1.

Will the coming soon features (Wikis, Rewards, Bookmarks, Workspaces) be included for people who buy just a single code, or would we need to buy a certain amount of codes to make sure we'll have those features in our plan?

2. What's your staying power? In other words, what reasons can you give us to be confident you'll be around in a year from now? Have you secured funding? Have you broken even? Do you have any major clients?

3. How much would upgrading one's storage cost once you need more? Is there an option that simply allows for unlimited storage for a standard price per month? Would Sumolings have discount pricing for that?

4. It's not exactly clear whether there is a chat function in Anywhere. Do you just have comments on tasks or is there a more generalized chat function (like Slack or Pumble)?

5. Can you give us more information on the time tracking feature? Does it allow for admins to approve/deny/review time entries? Can you give us a list of all the features associated with time tracking? Just want to see how much I would need or not need Clockify if I use your product.

6. I understand you can send invoices in some capacity via Anywhere. Is there a Stripe integration that makes invoices payable easily for clients?

7. Is there a public-facing form functionality that would translate the data submitted in a form directly into a task within a project?

A: Hi anametheus,
Thanks for your interest in Anywhere & checking us out.

Let me try & answer your questions below:
1. Will the coming soon features (Wikis, Rewards, Bookmarks, Workspaces) be included for people who buy just a single code, or would we need to buy a certain amount of codes to make sure we'll have those features in our plan?
ST: yes, we do intend to make these features available in some form to our Standard edition & since all AppSumo deals are tied to our current AppSumo plan, these features will be available to everyone in some capacity. I am saying some capacity because we have not yet dwelled upon what limitations will be there within these features under our Standard plan just yet.

2. What's your staying power? In other words, what reasons can you give us to be confident you'll be around in a year from now? Have you secured funding? Have you broken even? Do you have any major clients?
ST: The team behind Anywhere is a team that has been running a successful consultancy business for over 10 years now. We have a sufficient run rate available as it is & we do intend to raise funds soon to strengthen our teams.

3. How much would upgrading one's storage cost once you need more? Is there an option that simply allows for unlimited storage for a standard price per month? Would Sumolings have discount pricing for that?
ST: There will definitely be a monthly cost to upgrade the storage, it will be significantly low.

4. It's not exactly clear whether there is a chat function in Anywhere. Do you just have comments on tasks or is there a more generalized chat function (like Slack or Pumble)?
ST: There is only a one-on-one chat feature available in Anywhere right now. Apart from the discussion that you can do under any task, which is multi-person. More details on this here: https://support.anywhereapp.io/en/articles/5280376-one-on-one-chat-with-other-team-members

5. Can you give us more information on the time tracking feature? Does it allow for admins to approve/deny/review time entries? Can you give us a list of all the features associated with time tracking? Just want to see how much I would need or not need Clockify if I use your product.
ST: Time tracking today is absolutely basic. It allows you to record time against the tasks. In the future, we will have reporting capabilities on it. You can club the time tracking with a custom status column for approval management. We do have a full-fledged desktop-based time tracker in the works, but I can not commit to its availability at this stage.

6. I understand you can send invoices in some capacity via Anywhere. Is there a Stripe integration that makes invoices payable easily for clients?
ST: I am sorry but sending invoices is not available in Anywhere right now.

7. Forms are in our roadmap as well. https://roadmap.anywhereapp.io/

Hope this helps.
ST :)

Excellent and prompt answers to my questions. I literally bought 6 codes for Anywhere right after I read them.

I am really excited about the upcoming Rewards feature. Can you tell us more about how you envision implementing it in addition to what you write about it in your pricing page?

Thank you and happy to be aboard for the journey.

Hi, Anametheus,
I am glad you are onboarded. Welcome to the team :)

We wrote a separate in-house product a few years ago called Tangerine, we would like to introduce that as a reward program in Anywhere.

The idea is that each team member gets 5 virtual tangerines every day, that they can share with other people who help them through the day. Consider this as a virtual emoji that you use in your chat with other people, in this case, it's a tangerine emoji. You can share a max of 5 per day. Your quota gets refreshed the next day.

On the other hand, the tangerines that you have earned (the ones people have shared with you) are being stacked in your account that you can sell back to the system in exchange for rewards.

Rewards are configurable real-world rewards that you as an admin can set up for your team. Could be an Amazon voucher, movie tickets, an extra holiday, etc. whatever you want. People can exchange their earned tangerines to buy these rewards from your system.

That's what our reward system is. It helps motivate the culture of help & support while earning you some real-world useful rewards. Hope I was able to explain this clearly. Will also update this in the roadmap for the ease of others.

Regards
ST

I love the idea and the way you're envisioning to implement it. Any idea as to when we'll see it live?

Thanks again for your prompt and informative response.

Happy to be a new customer for Anywhere.

The timeline is what I am afraid of committing. As of today, we have a small dedicated team working on the product & hence the implementation of requests is slow. Of course, this may change in the future as we become capable of adding more engineers to our team (external funding, more business, higher revenues).
Currently, we are doing top voted requests first & as of now, the Reward feature is not one of the topmost requested features. Which of course will keep changing as we start completing the top requests down the line.

I hope this clarifies our current situation :)

Regards
ST
