Ativiti, closed beta

Ativiti is the startup I’ve been working on for like a year with some friends. It will finally go closed beta in like 2 weeks.
.
Since I had to keep my mouth shut for a while and I’m so proud of this project, I’m coming back with a vengeance:
.
Ativiti is our take on social task management… Dead-simple, friendly. you can manage your tasks as usual, plus:

  • each task has tabs, with optional features like: 

    • Team tab assigns it to other people *
    • Notes tab allows detailed information
    • Files tab allows uploads *
    • Talk tab allows discussions *
  • each ativiti project can be published as a Guide: it goes to a public space where other users can save as new projects
  • and vice versa: you can browse ativiti Guides so you don’t have to start a project from scratch
  • users can paste Guide embeds on blogs, sites. think youtube, but for lists. *
  • authors can track Guide usage: how many subscribed, how long did it take to complete, which tasks took longer to finish… *

* = not functional for closed beta
.
Here are some public links so you can have an idea:

Ain’t my baby beautiful? (say yes!). I’m organizing my invitation list… If by any means you want to join please email me, you’re more than welcome.

Best bookmarklets roundup

bookmarklets are smart links: instead of pointing to pages, it runs simple scripts. Used wisely, it’s a huge timesaver.
.
to use it, simply drag the titles to your bookmarks bar.

EMAIL

Composes an email with the info of the page you’re currently browsing: subject is the page title, body is page title + link. A godsend.
.
It breaks if the title uses ampersand.

TWITTER

Same as above, but as a popup to your twitter post page. Link is minified automatically. You gotta be logged in tho.

MOODBOARD

Opens a query popup, you type your term and it builds a spezify moodboard for you. Good for quick inspiration needs or if you wanna check art/fashion/design terms.

LATER

Saves the page to instapaper. If you want, you can even install the iphone app to read on your commute: no interruptions. You need to setup an account tho.

READABILITY

Cleans cluttered article pages: just the content, please.

SELECTOR

That’s for webdesigners: It allows you to click on page elements and give you info about it (classes, etc). Good for reverse engineering.
.
PS: Safari has a nifty keyboard shortcut: command/control + 1 opens the first link, command/control + 2 opens the second, etc. If you keep same order it makes life even easier.
.
Firefox works differently: you can setup keywords under link properties (option/right-click), and if you type it on the address bar and hit enter, it opens the link.
