Wunderkit revisited

The other day I rather damned Wunderkit with faint praise. Along with Basecamp I said the two project management services were beautiful but that similar functionality could be had from other, separate services. I also made the observation that Basecamp had no comparable mobile apps.

Well, I’ve had cause to revisit Wunderkit and am happy to discover that many of the early teething troubles have now been resolved. Both web and iOS apps are now faster and more reliable.

Much is spoken about social project management and while some apps preach social and attempt to execute it by tacking it onto the side Wunderkit actually weaves your work and social interactions so closely together you couldn’t imagine doing it any other way.

Their free offering features collaborative task and note apps and their upcoming paid ‘Pro’ accounts will feature the addition of file storage and numerous as yet unannounced apps. Starting at $4.99 a month it seems like it could be a good deal compared to Basecamp’s $20 basic offering.

Apps like Basecamp and Wunderkit are beautiful but similar productivity can also be found through a loosely coupled suite of separate services strung together via realtime notifications. Links are triggers.

re. Wunderkit - pretty sure I should be using the UI not fighting with it.
