I am a user of Unfuddle. I loved its simplicity. I started with free version, and now upgraded with paying version for more storage. It’s a joy to use Unfuddle.com

I agree with Walter, ValleySpeak Project Server is a very easy to use and better alternate to the extremely expensive Microsoft Project Server.

A good hosted Project Management software that suits my EPM needs is called valleyspeak project server, which I found at http://www.valleyspeak.com. One of the main reasons why I like the software is the fact that I could continue to work in Microsoft Project 2007 while sharing my Microsoft Project plans with my teams.

Because it is a hosted service, I did not have to buy expensive software or deal with installation and maintenance headaches. The functionality that I have with valleyspeak to manage my geographically dispersed teams works well for me. We also evaluated Basecamp and some other solutions but were not impressed.

We’ve been using Unfuddle for a while now. It’s feature rich but SLOW SLOW SLOW to the point there are periods of inaccessibility. I can’t wait to get off this thing. Call me when it’s reliable.

Subversion and Project Management on the Web…

Unfuddle.com what a superb idea. It must be, because I thought of it years ago, unfortunately like most of my good ideas, I did nothing about it. I suppose that’s the difference between a real entrepreneur and a wannabe (Could be, soon) like me &…

“I wonder if Techcrunch would praise a site that directly and clearly ripped off the Techcrunch design. Would they even cover such a copy or do they only cover copies of other products?”

Considering how Techcrunch’s Crunchboard jobboard itself is a direct ripoff of the 37signals jobboard, I dont think he cares who rips off what.

Check out activeCollab: http://www.activecollab.com/. It’s a young open source PM but is very stable. They are planning a plugin architecture in the next few months and one of the first plugins is a Bug Tracker. Only down side is PHP5 only. But if you have a DreamHost account, you can one click install and you are off and away. And you get the source code to do whatever you want with it

[...] I was recently turned on to a new software development project management service called Unfuddle by a reader of WhatAboutPaul.com. Designed to replace installed applications like Trac, this hosted solution offers developers much of the flexibility and control without a lot of the hassle. Considering that I was looking for a management/bug-tracking solution for an upcoming project, I’ll certainly give Unfuddle a hard look. Web 2.0 giant TechCrunch takes a look at it here. [...]

I happen to like that it rips off Basecamp, it makes it easier to switch. I use Basecamp right now for a simple task list, and I’m considering switching to this for the added free features of the tickets and source management. They should really consider adding a subscription option for $120/year or something rather than just the $25 a month gouging, but if their site works as nicely as it looks at first glance, I think they have a shot of doing fairly well in the space. These types of sites aren’t that hard to make or maintain, so a two person company probably has a nice chance to make a fair living from it with low risk on the downside.

We still like Assembla (http://www.assembla.com/) as the best free set of tools for these tasks. The community there is growing as well.

Gosh, it looks good because some of their screens are direct ripoffs of Basecamp. The Milestones screen is a good example. It is lifted directly from Basecamp. Big chunks of their dashboard and time tracking data entry interface widgets are lifted too. They even directly copied some significant UI layouts from Trac the bug tracking software.

It would be nice if respected sites like Techcrunch called companies out on this rather than blindly praising their design. I wonder if Techcrunch would praise a site that directly and clearly ripped off the Techcrunch design. Would they even cover such a copy or do they only cover copies of other products?

As is it right now all you have to do is rip off some screens from someone else, slap on your own name, call it a product, send out an email, and it gets written up on techcrunch. That rewards duplication not innovation. Thats the wrong thing to reward. Why doesnt Techcrunch break some news by calling out copycats instead of rewarding them? Use your position to encourage responsible bahavior so we all see and benefit from more innovation, not less.

I saw that WorkHappy pulled their review of unfuddled recently. I assume it was because they realized the rip. Good for Workhappy. It would be nice to see Techcrunch follow that example of responsible reporting.

Hopefully, as it looks so nice! If Unfuddle manages to earn trust and make their pricing more flexible, it will be very successful despite the fact that most dev shops would still prefer to host version control and tracker themselves and keep all this behind firewalls.

Nikolay, I actually thought the same thing. Hopefully Joshua Frappier and David Croswell will put some more info on there asap.

I looked at it a couple of weeks ago and it really looks nice, but who would trust a unknown company with no contact information such as address or a phone number for hosting valuable IP such as software? If they were selling the software though, I would probably buy it.

I dont like the jump from free (1 user) to the cheapest paid ($24/mo., 5 users). In that sense its not much like Backpack at all, in that it is not that accessible. I asked Unfuddle about the lack of a happy medium — say $9/mo. with 2-3 users — and they did not seem to care. In fact, they referred me to sourceforge and Google Code. So, I recommend that folks take their advice and turn to Google Code. I did, and am very happy so far.

I’ve been looking for something like this, haven’t really found anything I really like yet.

I don’t have the time to set up Bugzilla, I don’t know what collaboa or trac is and don’t really have the time to go looking for it so this kind of tool is good for me.

nice looking app. this must be one of the hardest markets to go after in a commercial fashion - anyone knowledgeable in writing code can setup a bugzilla/collaboa/trac in a few minutes..even if they needed hosting for that, it would be roughly 1/5th the price of the cheapest plan here with one of the larger commercial hosts..and have much higher quotas
