Temaly: from a time tracker to a cozy board for freelance work
Temaly started as a time tracker people didn't stick with. The new version, now live, turns it into one board for clients, projects, invoices and to-dos.

Why it needed to change
The old Temaly worked, but people weren't using it. You had to sign up before seeing anything, and it didn't feel like something you'd come back to every day. The bounce rate was high.
Why a board
- Easy to start Open the homepage and you're on a board. No account needed.
- Easy to remember What's left to do stays in front of you.
- More interactive Cards you move, link and draw on, not rows in a list.
- Collaborative Clients can comment and reply without an account.
