Wish I could give triple the Tacos...
This app really fits me and my workflow well. The clean UI, inspiring background images, intuitive text editor and colourful headings speak to the creative side in me, the automations, reports and various workflow settings to my nerdy side.
Here's what I like most
- Different project setups for different projects: Be it a complex ebook publishing project with 100 tasks or a qimple blog front-page revamp - every project gets the features it needs - not more but also not less
- The UI: Many other project management tools either have so many features that the UI starts to feel cluttered (Clickup) or are easy to use but not so powerful (Trello without Power-Ups). Ora has all the power with none of the clutter.
- Both personal and business workspace: This is one of my favourite features both in Ora and in my other ApSumo favourite - Nimbus Note. I can use both tools for both business and personal life and all the tasks / information is separated but still in the same app.
- The agenda view: This combines the power of a Project Management app with the familiar look-and-feel of a personal task management tool. The week planning section and saved custom filters are real gems in my opinion.
- Project members: The ability for only inviting someone to a project, not to the entire organization. The founder of Ora told me about this in a LTD Facebook group yesterday and I really like this because I often work with contractors who shouldn't see all the other projects that they're not involved in.
- The new features in Ora3: Chat and mobile apps. It is so nice to check off to-dos on the go or have a discussion in the context of a project
- Ability to embed boards (even private ones but you need to be logged-in to access them) into other tools like Nimbus Note
Here are some things I'm waiting for / suggesting:
- Agenda in mobile app so I can quickly check my own tasks for today on the go
- German translation
- The ability to create project "events" with day/week view on agenda calendar for things like scheduled video meetings, appointments at (virtual) conventions / conferences, live streaming sessions and other activities where you don't just need a date range but rather exact time and location
- Inviting guests to chat channels (for example to do a quick audio call with a potential client who isn't part of any project because the deal isn't final yet).
- Integration ideas: Pabbly connect (it's a Zapier alternative that is very popular in the Lifetime-Deals community), Nimbus Note (it's where quite a few Sumo-lings keep their project notes / wiki / documentation), Apple Calendar (to see tasks on my iPhone calendar)
I've bought over 20 deals so far on AS but this is the second one (after Nimbus Note last December) where I actually stacked to the top (10 codes). I don't need all the users yet, but I like to future-proof in case my business grows larger than I think. I'm a bit broke now though, so I hope no other great deal comes along for a while...
