Hmm, this is a tricky one

I've been playing around with it for a while now. Trying to work out how it best fits my work flow.

I'm pretty sure I've got most of it under my belt at this point and I think its not quite ready for main stage. I'd give it 3.5 tacos, but at this price... its actually pretty good so bumping it up to 4.

There are some front end issues I've found which make me wonder how well the product is put together.
Example: uploading images to the project info fails (but doesn't really?) It doesn't seem to update and then looking at the image the next day and boom...updated.
What is happening there?

Sometimes when selecting a project, the project panel is blank. But I know There is information in there because after I click on settings and go back suddenly its there again. Hmm.

There is some disconnect between projects vs. folders and parent/child vs. Epics and stories. It gets quite confusing. Choose 1 nomenclature and stick with it. Maybe 'Parent/child' and 'Epics and stories' are different things, but its not explained at all really.

I can scrounge through the blog to get some hints but the documentation I feel is lacking.

Things also work a little slow sometimes. turning a toggle on and off takes a little bit. Adding a task is not snappy.

I do however understand that this is a work in progress, and they have just recently updated to ora 2 (which is included in the deal). But its feeling a little too Beta-ish for fast moving live projects where money is on the line.

I do however look forward to where the team will take it, but I'm not sure I would risk a 5 stack deal at this point in time even though the discount is obviously massive. If this deal popped up in a year, and things were snappier and the little bugs were fixed and the mobile app was made. I'd 100% get the 5 stack. But not yet. too risky.

TL;DR: Its cool, but i wouldn't trust it with fast moving projects in crunch time with money on the line.....yet.

NOTE: They have however been quite responsive in support. so yay.
