I like your app so far, but I think most of us need a more developed discussion part. Something like Hive does (and they're great at it, so check the way they handle team and private chat). Are you going to include private direct messages to other team members?
Yes, definetly need a more comprehensive messaging feature. I plan to use this as a client portal and would need messaging between team members and clients. DM's would also be great.
Q: Hi, Are you planning an invoice/proposal solution with integrated payment?
The only tools I found that have this are Suitedash and Plutio. I love your UI but as a Freelancer, an all in one tool would be perfect. So to resume: -Bloo -Cname -Invoice/proposal/payment -French Version -----> Directbuy
This is very misleading and I feel pretty miffed about it.
I added my first name as the first company (therefore locking in my URL) believing I'd be able to make another company for my clients to use.
But now, that second one I made says "trial". What's the point of being able to add and switch companies in the upper left corner? You can have 10 companies but 9 of them will be trial only and only 1 is LTD.
Considering you can have unlimited projects anyway, why not unlimited companies? Or more than one?
My plan of making a bloo URL for me and a bloo URL for my company is completely destroyed. I can't use this for clients now...Isn't that the whole point?
And the solution of one company URL but with personal, client 1, client 2, etc mixed in is not good. What if I operate two different companies in two different fields? This just makes no sense...
With regards to Spanish translation, we're kicking this off next week and we hope to have it under review towards the end of the week, and then live within this month!
You can for sure keep your files in Dropbox and just share the links within Bloo, but there is no official linking mechanism between Bloo and Dropbox.
With regards to how many client accounts per code. Right now, that's limited to the number of accounts in your license tier, but we are working to completely remove that limit so only team members will count against your limits.
The restrictions for clients is that they cannot create new projects, and we also have comment-only and view-only access, which are pretty straightforward.
Learn more here: https://guide.bloo.io/article/35-people-management
Right now it is part of the limit, but we are changing the logic for all AppSumo users shortly!
Kind regards,
Manny
Q: Couple of questions related to tasks/todos:
1.
Do you support code syntax/blocks (eg code highlighting with backticks) in comments and descriptions? As a web development agency this is quite important for us to be able to embed code snippets. 2. Are task/card cover images selectable (the image that is shown as a preview for the task in the kanban view). 3. Can comments be edited by the user? For example, I add a comment to a task and then want to make changes to this (typos, etc).
1. No code syntax/blocks support yet, but we're going to implementing a new editor next year that includes that + real time collaborative editing as well. 2. Yes, task/card cover images are selectable. We pick the first image that is uploaded to the description on the left hand side of the card. 3. Comments cannot be edited. We thought about this a lot, and we wanted Bloo to be the one source of truth. Eventually, we will make it editable and then show the changes to the comments if someone wants to dig in and review the changes.
Thanks for your response, Manny - much appreciated.
Currently we use Trello for everything and comments there can be freely edited. Honestly, the number of times I edit comments is huge - I will read and reread my own comments and make changes to improve clarity etc. I also sometimes use comments for note-taking and will update them as a task progresses.
Without comment editing we would need to delete a comment and re-add it which would be pretty painful to do as frequently as I need to.
I know you said you will be adding this in the future but I think comment editing should be prioritised as it is fairly fundamental for this type of system. I also see quite a few others here asking for this too.
Can you let me know your thoughts and if there's a rough timeframe for adding this please?
If you're using comments to take notes, I would suggest the description field is a better use for that, as you can freely edit that at any time.
We're sitting down as a team to review the roadmap based on all the feedback we've been receiving since the launch here last week, and then we will reprioritize!
Kind regards,
Q: From your website:
"Encryption.
All data is encrypted in transit to ensure that nobody can read your data while it is traveling from our servers to your browser or mobile application."
1. Does this mean there is no encryption while traveling to the servers? 2. Does this mean there is no encryption on the servers and my data can be read when not traveling? 3. Can my data be imported to Bloo from Trello?
1) I read about how you use "AWS Securely", but talking about that, do you encrypt our data before it goes to AWS? if so, what encryption are you using?
2) I am all in for the keyless login, but it can be a pain sometimes and it creates A LOT of emails... Are you planning to have passwords? or at least improve the keyless login?
3) I read in your roadmap about archiving a todo, awesome, what about archiving a whole list? Is it planned as well?
4) Any plans on grouping projects in a folder/group to keep things organized a bit?
5) So with your upcoming permission manager feature, will permissions be based on projects or on companies? Some clients I wanna make their access super restrict while other not, so I would like to know how flexible things will be for me when managing permissions...
6) I tested Bloo.io HEAVILY in the past week, I love it, I am all in for it, BUT, there were too too many emails going to my client which I hated, I am okay with not having white-label as long as Bloo is not annoying my clients with tips and tricks and on-boarding emails... Some clients are just ANNOYED by this kind of emails and I will be using Bloo to STOP the back & forth emails with my clients, So what's the point if Bloo sends more of them anyway... so, are you considering the option to have us control what our clients would receive and what not? Please?
7) When I add a new todo to a list, it gets at the bottom, usually, my workflow is adding the first things first so I want new todos to be at the TOP of the list instead of going all the way to the bottom; is there a way to fix this?
I used many PM tools before, I can't express how thankful I am for finding Bloo.io, THANK YOU!!!!
1. Yes, your connection with Bloo is encrypted and we use Encryption at Rest on AWS. If you want more details, send me an email at help@bloo.io - thanks! 2. Yes, we are exploring passwords as an option or perhaps Google Authenticator. Passwords alone however is not something we will do, as it's too risky (most people reuse passwords on dozens of different websites!) 3. We didn't consider this, but will review and discuss with my team next week! 4. Hehe, not before AppSumo but now we have had a huge amount of requests for this! We are studying this atm. 5. The permissions will still be per-project, but you'll be able to heavily customise what particular user group or individual users can do. I run a client agency and so I know that this can be annoying - we will get this fixed if that's an issue. 7. This is not the expected behaviour. New todos should be at the top. Can you take a quick video and send to help@bloo.io ? We will review and see the issue.
It's impressive but is it good enough to stop SmartTasks?
The UI/UX is to die for! It's beautiful!!!
What I really miss is: 1. CNAME/Whitelabel features 2. The ability to move project tasks to other project boards 3. Analytics to gain insights 4. Workload and portfolio overview 5. Nesting in Tasks; right now it's Project -> Task -> Subtask (the end).
It's a pleasure to work in this tool (even if I did for only an hour max) and the automation is awesome! (plz add the ability to push a card's data by webhook, this would be a gamechanger IMHO).
🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 Im not sure what to do... go with Bloo or SmartTask?
To answer your questions 1. Right now, we don't have custom domains for Bloo unfortunately, however, we do give you the choice of domain within Bloo. i.e.:https://app.bloo.io/company/[your-custom-company-url]/projects 2. You can move project tasks to other project board by selecting the three dots on the task you want to move, and simply select your other project board. 3. Feature is not available yet for this! 4. You can see your work/tasks on Calendar right under your Todos. 5. Unfortunately, we don’t have that available but for sure it interesting for us to look into!
Hope that answers your questions! If not, you can leave another one or talk to us through Bloo Chatbot!
Glad you like the UI/UX, we worked hard to make Bloo easy to use! :)
Just a heads up, we do have the ability to move project tasks (or even copy them!) across to other projects.
On the top right of a todo you'll see a ••• menu. Click on that, and you'll see the options to copy and move.
Kind regards,
Manny
Q: I have two/three questions.
1a. Generally speaking how difficult is it for a client to learn how to use the system? I'm asking because I want to know if there is a high chance that I'll have to personally teach them how to use the entire system. I'm asking about the average client, not someone who is "technologically challenged".
2a. If I'm using bloo as a CRM+sales pipline is it possible to see the value of the leads in each stage of the pipeline? As an example if I have 20 leads in the followup stage, and I'm charging $2000 per client will the $40,000 be automatically calculated and shown on the screen for that stage?
1. In our experience using Bloo for our clients over at www.mäd.com, they just get it. We've never had to really do any training. We normally just give them a 3-4 minute tour to explain the project setup and then they can continue by themselves. And we're talking about a lot of clients in frontier economies, so often the client teams are not the most tech savvy either! 2.There's not a way to do that yet, but it is something we want to be able to achieve. It's not yet on a published roadmap, but we are for sure considering it!
Changing color has been requested a fair bit, so we are looking into this to see if we can make it work.
You can already add your company logo, simply go to your avatar on the top right and click into Company settings, you'll then see the option.
We're also going to be having a new text editor next year that gives a lot more customisation options with the text such as highlighting, code syntax recognition, etc.
From what I understood, Updates is to share where you are at in a project so you can let your team know the latest on the things you are working on like "I just finished the technical setup of the website!" it's not something to discuss, probably no one will comment on this but just to make the team members on the same page. Discussions on the other hand are meant to discuss issues, ideas, suggestions, etc.. it's meant for starting a conversation with your team, brainstorming together, figuring things together, think about it as what you'd post into Slack.
We're also going to be modifying both features in the future so you'll see some divergence.
Updates is going to actually have recurring questions that managers can set up to have regular reports from team members, while discussions will turn into more of a Outlook-style email setup, or even potentially more of a forum-like experience.
Hope that helps
Q: Hi,
Your product looks great!
On thing I've been missing with most tools (including Plutio that I've heavily invested in) is task dependencies. And one's that can combine with the Gannt chart. Basically when you work with teams often a person is waiting for someone to be able to start his work. To be able to set these dependencies and easily view them and see how they affect the timeline in the Gannt chart.
See how Beesbusy handles Gannt charts and dependencies. https://appsumo.com/beesbusy/ - they have it, but your product looks more well designed and clean.
Is this coming, and if yes when?
Tools like Plutio (also on AppSumo) promised task dependencies years ago but didn't deliver, and without it, it is not good for managing complex projects..
Yes, task dependencies are going to be added as we are also going to be adding Gantt Charts, and that's a requirement to be able to link tasks together!
Q: Hi,
I tried to link an image from "files" section to a discussion, but there seems to no option to do that.
Also can't seen to edit comments on "discussion" board once posted.
Are you planning to update to allow links to files and comment editing? Also it would be nice to share a link to a doc, image uploaded to "file" section to clients or social media.
A: Hello there, Comments cannot be edited. We thought about this a lot, and we wanted Bloo to be the one source of truth. Eventually, we will make it editable and then show the changes to the comments if someone wants to dig in and review the changes. As for link files to discussions or updates, we don't have the feature available yet.
Serah, I'm an editor. This is not a great idea. People misspeak/mistype all the time. Imagine if a publisher published a book with all the previous edits. Reconsider this.
Totally get where you're coming from. As Serah mentioned, this is just the initial way we've coded this.
In the future, we do want to allow edits but also have a history of the edits made to the comments. This is especially important to companies working with clients when they are getting approvals, as you can imagine the mess if someone edited the message where they approved something and nobody could know the original message!
I hope you understand the idea behind why we are thinking about it this way.
"As for link files to discussions or updates, we don't have the feature available yet." You should plan this. Also editing is very basic feature that it should be made.
Q: Hey there!
Looks awesome so far. One question:
Is it possible or planned to automatically apply descriptions & checklists to cards when they are moved into a card?
In Trello this is possible to buttler bot. This is helpful for me to automate & outsource certain tasks. This is the only thing that's missing for me right now and hope there is this option! :)
Unfortunately, we don't have an option to automatically apply descriptions & checklists to cards. However, there's an option available for you to copy a todo, and everything on the card will automatically be applied!
Q: Can we at least have a google sheets and zapier integration?
I mean, like when we add a client to bloo, the details for that client automatically gets added to a google sheets. This is really important.

Q: I just bought it and I added two companies.

Hi Manny,
Just bought bloo and so far really enjoying it.
Because I am a one man show-maybe two in the future, I only care about individual client accounts.
Potentially with my 1st tier purchase I would get unlimited client accounts? Please clarify.
Also, any plan to roll out custom domains??

Discussions on the other hand are meant to discuss issues, ideas, suggestions, etc.. it's meant for starting a conversation with your team, brainstorming together, figuring things together, think about it as what you'd post into Slack.
Hope that helps!
Yes, that's right!
We're also going to be modifying both features in the future so you'll see some divergence.
Updates is going to actually have recurring questions that managers can set up to have regular reports from team members, while discussions will turn into more of a Outlook-style email setup, or even potentially more of a forum-like experience.

Tools like Plutio (also on AppSumo) promised task dependencies years ago but didn't deliver, and without it, it is not good for managing complex projects..

Yes, task dependencies are going to be added as we are also going to be adding Gantt Charts, and that's a requirement to be able to link tasks together!

Ok, sounds great. Plutio has implemented Gannt Chart though without task dependencies.
When will this be ready? Really the one thing I'm missing here.
It's in our roadmap for 2021! :D
Q: Hi, I tried to link an image from "files" section to a discussion, but there seems to no option to do that.
Also can't seen to edit comments on "discussion" board once posted.
Are you planning to update to allow links to files and comment editing?
Also it would be nice to share a link to a doc, image uploaded to "file" section to clients or social media.
Thanks.

Comments cannot be edited. We thought about this a lot, and we wanted Bloo to be the one source of truth. Eventually, we will make it editable and then show the changes to the comments if someone wants to dig in and review the changes.
As for link files to discussions or updates, we don't have the feature available yet.
Hope that answers your question!

Serah, I'm an editor. This is not a great idea. People misspeak/mistype all the time. Imagine if a publisher published a book with all the previous edits. Reconsider this.
Hey @chariot,
Totally get where you're coming from. As Serah mentioned, this is just the initial way we've coded this.
In the future, we do want to allow edits but also have a history of the edits made to the comments. This is especially important to companies working with clients when they are getting approvals, as you can imagine the mess if someone edited the message where they approved something and nobody could know the original message!
I hope you understand the idea behind why we are thinking about it this way.
Kind regards,
Manny
"As for link files to discussions or updates, we don't have the feature available yet."
You should plan this. Also editing is very basic feature that it should be made.
Q: Hey there!
Looks awesome so far. One question:
Is it possible or planned to automatically apply descriptions & checklists to cards when they are moved into a card?
In Trello this is possible to buttler bot.
This is helpful for me to automate & outsource certain tasks. This is the only thing that's missing for me right now and hope there is this option! :)
Talk to you soon!

Unfortunately, we don't have an option to automatically apply descriptions & checklists to cards. However, there's an option available for you to copy a todo, and everything on the card will automatically be applied!
