Thanks for stopping by to check Staction out. We’ve actually uploaded all the tour videos on our Vimeo page for just such an situation. You can check the videos out here, http://vimeo.com/pasteinteractive .

Just came across your product via twitter, haven’t really looked at it yet as the videos are .mov files which I can’t view on my machine. (I know, just download the 40mb plugin… not that simple, I can’t view .mov files in a browser for a technical reason )

Anyway, just an encouragement to use flash video as it really is the standard for video on the web.

Thanks, Aaron.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the tour and comment. We always appreciate hearing people’s thoughts.

That is an interesting idea about different locations. Certainly something for us to think about for the future. I’ll be honest though, we’re generally quite slow to implement big features like this – so it won’t be in the near term future if it happens at all.

For right now, you can always create users and then limit their access with Staction’s permission system – that would approximate what you’re talking about I think.

Thanks again for the comment.

Would you consider adding some features to allow clients limited access to staction? Could be a way to think of staction as ‘locations’ clients get added to a ‘conference room’ location, and employees / contractors have access to the ‘planning room’ – I’m sure you all could figure out a smart way to add that functionality in without taking away from staction’s keen simplicity.

We’ve worked really hard to keep it simple, so thank you for the kind words about the UI. We agree that the free plan is pretty limited, but we didn’t build Staction to give it away for free (as I’m sure you appreciate). We want to continue working hard to make Staction absolutely the best app that we can muster, but if we gave it away for free, we’d never be able to justify the time to work on it.

If you guys are keen on getting a better feel for how your team works with Staction, I’d suggest signing up for a simple account. You’ll get 4 users with that plan and all the features except time tracking. That would be the best judge of whether or not it fits in well within your organization. If it doesn’t you can always cancel after the first month (no questions asked) and you’re only $7 lighter. I hope that helps!

I’m afraid I typed my email address in wrong last time (put ‘googmail’ by accident), can you send me that email again please?

Thanks,

J.

We also feel that Staction would work great in a dedicated desktop app, and it’s been something a lot of our users have been requesting. We have some ideas for it and it’s definitely something we’re considering as a future improvement.

We’re constantly re-evaluating our pricing, and your suggestion about the limited number of users for the free plan is a good one. We also sent you an email about this matter.

Thanks for the interest in Staction!

I’m intrigued by the idea for Staction. I can’t find a discussion forum about the product, so I’ll comment instead.

I’ve signed up and I can immediately see that this would be of most use to me outside of the browser, perhaps integrated into a Twitter client or in its own standalone client.

I think your free accounts should be a bit more generous with their terms. I don’t think 2 people is really enough to discover the true potential of the app. 5 would be better.
