We’ve used a lot of project management (PM) apps over the years, and one thing has consistently been true. They’re slow.

All of those things that they do to make them user friendly in the beginning eventually get in the way of you doing your work. It’s as if they don’t trust us to have information density on a screen. From the homepage of the most popular web based PM app on the market you’re:

• 5 screens away from creating a todo.
• 3 screens away from uploading a file.
• 3 screens away from posting a message.
• 5 form fields away from saying “Yeah, -great idea!”

If any of this strikes you as weird, we think we’ll have something interesting to show you soon.

We’ll be inviting a few select people to our private beta of Staction in the next few weeks. If things go well, we’ll broaden the net. We’ll be setting up a site soon to start collecting emails for the first round of beta testers. We’ll let you know when it’s on…
