I commute quite heavily in the UK, and there are certainly places I can see where traffic lights are either completely surplus, or could be reduced to peak-operating only, and there are other places where it would cause worse problems if there weren't traffic lights in place.

I believe a good way I've seen this work is to charge 1-2 days at a consultancy rate (based on amount of effort required) with terms that deduct the estimate charge from the project (assuming they sign)

Thanks, I've spoken to my boss about it (WFH today) and we're going to discuss when I'm next in the office, but I think a laptop stand/proper keyboard are things I'll be getting (I do all my work on a laptop, on a desk, using the laptop keyboard) plus I've got 4 days holiday starting tonight in which time I'm going to limit my keyboard usage severely and hopefully this will let them die down, and then start with the new ergonomics etc. next week and gauge what effect that has on them.

Good shout on the B6, I'll have to try that too!

OK, Asana looks pretty much what I was looking for (about the only thing I'd "like" though probably not need is the ability to link tasks (ie Task x is blocked until Task y is complete)

Thanks for the tip, I can see this being the answer (for me at least)

I'm in a kind of similar position - sole founder, lots of ideas and not a good enough way (at the moment) of keeping track of them.

From looking around, OmniFocus and Basecamp (but Basecamp Light if it existed) would do the job, though bootstrapping I can justify the money for what may or may not work for me.

Interested to see what others recommend, if there's anything else to look at, or do I just write a lean requirements/project management app (which I could eat dog-food with and track the app I'm building in the app I'm building :-)

I like it - quick, easy/simple to use, I was/am working on something similar for PM purposes (after something very basic, tracking multiple projects, tasks/blockers within projects etc. for 1-2 users)

What are your future plans for Tasskr?

I can also see opportunities for value-add services provided by the site, as an additional source of revenue outside of the % of fee that the business model would most likely be

Reverse-auction style service for a specific market - there's nothing really new (yet) in the actual idea, it's just the target market that isn't served yet in the UK so I wanted to start validating there's a need for the service in the UK (and as there's no competitors in this market as yet and it's a market that can lend itself to this style of service, as evidenced by the US site) - once I'm happy in my research that there's a need/base that will use it, I'll start planning more about how I can provide a unique service for both parties targeted by it

Just installed it, played the tutorial and first couple of levels and it's a great game, certainly one I'd consider paying for - good idea and great execution of it.

I'm actually in a similar position - I work for a company by day as a developer, work on ideas for myself by night, but my design skills are fairly lacking and ideally looking for someone that can help out with a 1-2 page landing site to gauge interest in my current project - any suggestions for where or how to look would be great
