Teampaper — deliver designs faster

Deliver designs faster

It all unfolded five years ago. We were a small digital agency offering comprehensive design. Every day we'd send files for approval, and our clients would email us with their feedback. ...it was a real pain. So we decided to create a solution. Teampaper and Heartbeat Agency have evolved a lot since then. Here you can see how Teampaper has developed, and what we've achieved.

Teampaper is our vision of an image-oriented project management system. You know the standing joke that all product teams are building their very own task manager... :)

Kanban board with on-image discussion

A problem worth solving

There are many excellent project management systems. And a few less image collaboration tools. But there was no neat unified solution.

Fruit. Simple yet diverse.

The story

2012

THE IDEA

Six years ago, we identified that discussing design on email is not productive. You have a picture here and feedback there. Why don't we connect them?

2013

OOOPS

We were obsessed with new features and visuals, but nobody told us about market validation. That was our main problem: users liked the product but weren't using it. It looked great by the way.

2015 — now days

REEEEWIND

We removed 80% of the functionality and focused on the macOS app. Picked the key killer features and made them super easy to use. No registrations, no tutorials. Simple as 1, 2, 3.

macOS app

That’s the latest version of macOS app. The new timer for tasks is here along with some UX tweaks. Development is currently in process. What do you think?

Web app

GraphQL, React + Redux, MongoDB, and other trendy things are almost there. All this should
bring speed and scalability. At least that's what developers told us :)

Kanban it!

Users were having trouble sorting old tasks and project structure. So we decided to introduce Boards. That way, everyone can work with them.

List view

It's OK if you don't like Kanban style. The List view gives you the same functionality, viewed from a different angle.

Visual Integration

See this circle with a number inside? It's a point. It works like a subtask. It's an easy way to highlight an issue or start a conversation. You can see all your points in the overview finder on the right.

Points are often used in feedback solutions nowadays. When we started this, things were different. Ours are still powerful in their functionality. We realize that's an ambiguous statement.

One BIG menu

Made for new users who require more guidance.
All possible actions and options are in one place.

Problem & solution

The two key elements for a landing page. You can design a clean/unique/pretty page, but that's not enough. Users want you to highlight their problems and provide solutions.
