Set web development tasks right on the interface
Frontosaur is a web collaboration plugin for web developers, project/product managers and other members of web development teams. It lets you discuss the development process without screenshots, extra software and other task managers: you only need a browser to share your ideas.
When I was a developer (first freelance, then in a web studio) none of my clients used task management software like Trello/Meistertask/etc., mostly they texted me in messengers, others preferred email or, the worst, calls. Sometimes it was difficult to interpret what they really wanted and match their text to the interface (ex: "That white block is not in the right place". What block? What place? And so on). More experienced of them made screenshots, however, in chats they went up with other messages so it was difficult to check the work in case I didn't fix it instantly.
At that time I first came up to the idea of synchronization of what the client and I see at the same interface. So here is Frontosaur! It allows you to:
- Discuss the interface without interrupting the interface, leave comments to the tasks and mark the completed tasks
- Invite colleagues to discussion. Programmers, designers, managers and other stakeholders can discuss the interface
- `With the projects system, you can organise tasks for different projects with a single extension
