14Dayz beta testing ends in 3 dayz.

Today marks the final release of 14Dayz before beta testing ends. We’d like to get your final thoughts on the product over the weekend. 14Dayz launches on May 1st, next Monday.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all our beta testers for helping us out during the past 6 weeks. It has been a thrilling experience for us; your input has greatly improved the quality and value of 14Dayz. Thank you.

To show our thanks we offer every beta tester the opportunity to subscribe to a single paid plan of their choice for a reduced fee of 50% off list price for life*, all you have to do is sign up for a paid account before May 1st.

This does not mean development on 14Dayz will stop. I think we have shown that it is possible to be responsive to our customers wants and needs in a rapid fashion. By keeping in close contact with you and using short feedback cycles we were able to deliver a huge amount of valuable features that are simple and easy to use, and that don’t get in your way if you don’t need them. And we’ve done that in less then 6 weeks time.

We still have a substantial wish list from beta testers and we have some needs ourselves. You can expect the product to continue to evolve. We will be adding more value to its service for you. Keep writing with your suggestions for improvements, we love your feedback.

Features in this release:

The value proposition of all plans has been significantly improved by more than doubling the amount of clients/projects. The free plan now even has 4 projects in stead of just a single project. This means that the free plan is now much more valuable for personal use. The other plans offer much more clients/projects than initially.

• It is now possible to deactivate or delete projects on the free plan.
• The time sheet now shows timer start buttons on each line.
• You can now add team members to single projects. Only added members can log hours to that project.
• You can now set a rate per team member per project as well. This means you can closely cover any existing or future contracts and be more flexible with your pricing.
• You can now assign a rate per category. Allowing you to set rates dependant of what kind of task was executed in stead of rates only dependant on who executed the task.
• It is now possible to change a team member’s email address.
• Slightly increased the contrast on the date navigation tabs in the time sheet. This means improved visibility on TFT monitors.
• Redesign of the 14Dayz home page.

A special mention must go to our Designer Serge, who has continued the redesign of the 14Dayz home page with only one hand. His other was injured in a breathtaking accident involving his stairs at home. We’ve tried to send him home but he just wouldn’t go. ;) Respect.
