Wedoist is a real-time project management tool - think along Basecamp lines. Amir has folded into the system a number of tech trends, hoping to point the product into the future.
Wedoist offers the following features:
- Real-time updates on everything
- Status updates
- Task manager
- Group chat
Following extensions are in the pipeline:
- File uploading
- Group chat
- API
- Mobile version (smart phone version)
WeDoist reminds a lot of ToDoist. It is also a very easy simplistic web application (above a screenshot from the corresponding Mac application). As Amir says in his blog "The road to Wedoist has been bumpy. The initial idea was add collaboration to Todoist, but unfortunately this was much harder than I anticipated. About 6 months ago I dumped this idea and started from scratch with Wedoist."
"I think one of the most interesting things about Wedoist is the technology stack, which uses Comet for all updates" said Wedoist's developer Amir Salihefendic. "This means that each change gets broad-casted to everyone in a team instantly."
In tackling online project management, Amir and friends are entering a crowded field. Aside from Basecamp, there is the well-established Zoho, PBWorks, LiquidPlanner, Huddle, Clarizen and ActiveCollab.
Perhaps the real-time features will keep it in the field, but will they allow it to stand out?
