Goplan 2 is out!

Tiago Pinto on May 19, 2009 Comments (5)

Boy, have we been quiet lately. The last few months have been hectic. As some of you may know, we’ve been busy rewriting one of our products – Goplan -, and have finally gone live with the new version on Friday.

Back in 2006 we weren’t too happy about the existing project management and collaboration solutions out there, and we desperately needed one to manage our relationship and work with a growing customer base. We started the first version back in May 2006 and launched officially (after a long public beta stage) in March of 07. It’s been growing steadily since and with the new version, we’re aiming pretty high.

About the new version

Goplan 2 is a complete rewrite, both in terms of code as well as vision. It is now fully company centric (even though it fits single users just as well), and while we removed some things that we figured didn’t make sense for the majority of our users (public blog, real-time chat, fine-grained permissions), we added a few things that make it a compelling product.

The new calendar is insanely good, the status updates and per-user activity stream make sense in a team environment, and the new company dashboard makes everything come together. We’re biased, but we’re really happy about how the product has evolved. Here’s a quick glimpse over how it looks:

We’re always excited about a product launch, and this one is special because it’s one of our own products. We really hope you try it out and send us your feedback if you have any. For more information about what’s new on Goplan, check the official blog.

PS: Now that Goplan 2 is out, we’ll get back to posting on this blog more often. Thanks for being a loyal reader, even when posts are lacking.

Caro Tiago,

Brutal, cada vez gosto mais da vossa empresa.

Estou a trabalhar numa solução muito semelhante mas apenas para consumo interno e com alguma contabilidade à mistura. Para freelancers como eu.

Vou falar com umas pessoas para ver se vos consigo arranjar umas subscrições.

Nota: Suporte para várias línguas.

Tiago Pinto

Rui,

Obrigado pelas palavras simpáticas :)
O suporte para várias linguas está pensado desde o início do desenvolvimento do Goplan 2 – a língua inglesa usada neste momento já está a usar o engine de internacionalização. Assim que limarmos umas arestas vamos começar a pedir a colaboração de utilizadores para a tradução para outros idiomas.

Óptimo e como são processados os pagamentos?
Para apresentar este projecto à minha empresa preciso de saber esta informação.

Tiago Pinto

Neste momento apenas é aceite PayPal (ou transferência bancária, já suponho que estejas em Portugal). Mais informação sobre pagamentos aqui: http://blog.goplanapp.com/

Not impressed, buggy as hell and loads of features stripped out. I think it should be renamed Goplan 0.5, a step back not forward!

Something to say?
