Thank you so much for this! I have clients who can't figure out how to use certain web apps and typing it out just isn't the same as being there in person. This is the next best thing.
What? I didn't say that, at all. I'm just saying there are a ton of cases where landlords don't require leases to be signed. Credit checks and references are less common than leases. I live in Chicago and in a big city like this one, there are many, many different renting situations (not just "Kleenex" ones) and not all of them contractually come in conflict with a renter having someone pay to live in part of an apartment.
As someone who uses Facebook messaging for some of these things (not the best solution since the reminders/tasks etc. get lost in other conversational clutter), I think this is a great idea and execution! I would like to see the more practical features expanded on.
For instance, if there's a new todo/reminder/etc. added is there a notification sent out? There could be a problem if one person uses the app updates it a lot and the other doesn't check it as often.
Definitely agree with #2, I spent a little too long trying to click the titles. The "Next Step" button should also be a color other than white so it stands out more.
I think this is an awesome idea, though! Will definitely use it in the future.
This is a problem that needs solving, but the presentation needs more than words. We can all of think of what we would include in a product like this, but they would just be promises until its release. There's nothing to show what the interface, integration, or published content is like.
Also, should you be targeting small circulation publications instead of journalists? I don't think journalists have the power to make decisions regarding publishing tools.
I think the more we talk about it, the more we have to gain. It only hurts bad employers.
