Update HN: GOLO, Added “Descriptions” Feature to Tasks, Comments?

Hello Guys

Its about Golo (http://getgolo.com), a simple project management app. If not interested in yet another project management app, you can stop reading here.

Why am I posting updates?

This is a way for me to keep myself motivated. I am trying to keep the app extremely minimal and hence I try to say to NO to most of the features coming to my mind unless its extremely critical and hence these posts will be less (if they annoy you ;)

So, I am trying to build this app while trying to manage 3 different teams (max team size is 3, total members across all teams is 6 excluding me). I am adding in GOLO what I am finding extremely necessary for me to manage these completely different teams.

But first let me talk about features I have excluded:

1) Assignment: In such a small co-located team, its hardly a question of knowing who is working on what. Hence no assignment of tasks to anyone and hence one less item on your screen.

2) Time: Assuming product companies only, when you know everyone is working to their potential, there is no point on keeping tabs on who is working on what & for how long. Hence another thing out the window.

3) associating comments to individual names, almost the same logic (although people may differ on this one)

One thing which I added recently was to attach bits of information to a task. I call it description(s). Multiple of them. It can be ideas, discussion outcomes or anything text. It has been extremely helpful to me so I thought will share it with you guys. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.
