Although Goplan 2 took quite a bit to be released, we believe in the “release early, release often” mantra, of letting people work with the application and react to real feedback from real users. This is exactly what we did with tasks. We got quite a lot of feedback from you guys on the new tasks screen since we released GP2 on friday, and yesterday most of the things you asked for in your feedback went live.

You were missing the drag-and-drop functionality for prioritization, and the consistence of the tools (those that show up when you drag your mouse over tasks on the task list) being on the right-hand side of the screen. Yesterday we fixed both those things, and the changes are already live on the production servers as I write this post. There’s still quite a bit of changes coming to the task functionality (we’re simplifying the way you can add due dates, in particular) which will be deployed soon.

We wouldn’t be able to work this fast and iterate so quickly if it wasn’t for your feedback - you guys have been awesome. We realize not everything is perfect about the product right now, but we are trying to improve every day. Keep sending in your suggestions. Thanks!

If there’s one thing about the current Goplan that remains similar to the previous version is our payment system, which relies on Paypal. Since we consider Paypal to be - in this case - a bit of a hassle, it makes sense to explain why we have to stick with it for the time being.

As you may know, being a european startup makes it so we can’t use a payment gateway like Authorize.net - like we’ve done in the past for other products whose legal representation is in the US. Truth is payment gateways in europe are subpar, and we’re looking for a solution to this problem. Until we finally find a solution, we have to apologize for having you use Paypal - which means you need an account on their system to have your company on ours. We know that sucks and we hope the product compensates for that bit of a hassle. We’re on this, and hope to have a solution soon.

Wow, it’s been a long day. It goes without saying that we almost didn’t make it on time - those who were up late waiting for us, we’re sorry we took the extra few hours! But now that that’s out of the way, rejoice. Goplan 2 is finally live after a long time waiting. Here’s how we’ll proceed to update our current users to version 2:

If you are a new user

If you don’t have a previous Goplan 1 account, you have nothing to worry about. All you need to do is head over to the new website (New design, too! With video!) and click “Plans & Signup” to get started. We’re giving everyone a 30 day free trial to any plan, so feel free to give it a shot without being afraid to commit (we don’t even ask for payment data until your trial is over).

If you have a Goplan 1 account

Companies and users who have an account on Goplan 1 will be migrated gradually throughout the next few days. In order to guarantee that everything is migrated successfully between the two versions of the product, we’ll be working with each company to be sure you’re well taken care of.

If you are interested in being migrated faster, please email our support team and we’ll send you an email as soon as the process is completed. We’re taking in a lot of people, so it may take up to 24 hours for the move to affect you.

Now that that is out of the way

We’ve been working really hard on this release, and we know it’s been a long time coming. Some of you have been waiting for months, and we hope the waiting was worth it. We want you to have a great experience, so if there’s ever anything that doesn’t look or feel right, get in touch. We want to make this your one stop for project management and online collaboration.
