Hey, Will here!<p>I've spent the last 6 months building a free project manager designed for creatives. The focus is on video feedback and keeping big projects organised (unlike the mess you sometimes get in Figma).<p>Site: <a href="https://opine.cm" rel="nofollow">https://opine.cm</a>

Guide: <a href="https://www.opine.cm/guide" rel="nofollow">https://www.opine.cm/guide</a><p>I'm a designer and software developer from London, and I built this with a UX and design team based in Ukraine and Belarus.<p>I started this after I had a really frustrating experience typing out feedback to a branding consultant on a different project. Trying to explain my feedback in words just wasn't working, and the process of doing everything on calls seemed super slow.<p>Before starting any coding, I did customer interviews with 30 designers and design agency owners to validate the idea. What came back was that slow feedback was a common problem. And hopefully, video feedback would be a good solution.<p>Obviously, video isn't new. I've been a big user of Loom this year, but the experience of getting a link and either losing it in Slack or Figma comments just didn't really work for me. I wanted something where video feedback automatically attaches to the work in a timeline, along with any new versions of the work. Loom also requires an install and a bit of "habit forming", which can be obstacles to getting clients using it.<p>The other feedback tool we've used is comments in Figma, but the issue there is that big Figma files get messy. This can be really confusing for feedback providers - it's often not clear which frames need feedback and what's finished work, and so on. So we ended up building a Trello-style Kanban board into Opine, so you can always see which work is in progress or ready to review.<p>The idea is - keep the creative chaos in Figma, and the organised collaboration in Opine - and use a plugin to sync the two.<p>So... here it is!<p>Really keen to hear what you think of the project.<p>Also happy to talk about what it's like developing a real-time project management SaaS .<p>And obviously - any feedback is really welcome :)
