@rrhoover We want to build something bigger than a task management tool. I like to think about it in this way: ball is a toy, basketball is a game. Game has strict rules but toy don’t have any rules. You can make your own games with the toy — football, tennis, volley ball etc. Twitter is a good example—it’s a toy and games around it was invented by users—hashtags, repost, tweetstorm etc. We’re building a toy not a game with "GTD" or "Scrum" or other rules. Columns is universal tool like a spreadsheet — you can use spreadsheets for analyze numbers but you can make a task management in it. So we’re making a new universal tool for lists (Example: we will launch a public boards on the beginning of the next year. Each card in Columns is a chat. So you can make a forum in which columns will be a sections and cards will be a topics with live chat in it).

Anton, you were hunted a year ago and there still doesn't appear to be any pricing on your website or much else about the company on your website. It looks like a great app but it's difficult to trust a company that isn't more transparent. Can you reveal your pricing model now?

@jonaaust We were accidentally hunted. Product is in early beta. That's why no pricing or "terms of service" yet.

@gonelf No more blue background! There are a lot of small cool changes: You can break up each column by headings to make a visual structure. You can hide columns you don't need and so on. But the main difference is checkboxes. Checkboxes represent the current status of your task. Unlike with Trello, you don't need to drag your card to the next column just to change its status. You can't make this in Trello: Checkboxes give you more flexibility and let you build a workflow you like.

@benjebara We will definitely do that

@tostartafire According to maker they were accidentally hunted. Product is in early beta. That's why no pricing or "terms of service" yet.

@tostartafire We are in the early beta and gathering using stories to understand our pricing model. Most likely it will be some kind of subscription model with reasonable free tier.

@nicksimard Yep! We will do it for sure

@antonzoi awesome! Couple of other things that might be nice: I like that when you minimize the width of the window, that you can scroll left and right for the columns but it’d be cool if they “snapped” when you scroll. Kind of like when you use full page sections on a website and scrolling brings you right to next section. And maybe offer the option to stack the columns instead of going left and right (when the window is less wide, I mean). I look forward to seeing where you take Columns :)

@jadlimcaco Hi Jad! Looks like your mention is linked to wrong username, can you give a link to this twitter to get some context?

@sethbwilliams We're working on mobile apps

@aleksandr_lanin Checkboxes! Columns is checklists arranged into columns. The beauty of checkboxes is that they allow you to monitor the status of your project and they change the way you can organize everything. This is a good example. You can see where you are in your planing because of checkboxes. You can't do it in Notion, Airtable, Trello etc.
