App Showdown – Teambox
The second App Showdown is Teambox. I myself tried few Team collaboration tools. Namely Bantam Live. Then last two weeks I remember fellow Mobilewarriors Arzumy/Hakim Albsrawy twitted about Teambox. Since Flavert/Weddingkami work remotely in every own spaces, we need few stuff like virtual whiteboards or service to share project updates.
Since I’m a fan of desktop apps, most of screenshot is desktop app version. Don’t worry, still the same with webview.
Let me start with an Overview Panel when you login to your Teambox

When you login, you can see the overview of your Projects. Definition: Projects in Teambox is a project that being run in a company. However, since we want to use the apps for free, I decided that Weddingkami is a Project. And all projects received by clients will be defined as Tasks.
Read more yea

And now this is task. I have one task not completed. That’s why 10 May is in red.
Now let’s proceed to Project View. Currently I only have Weddingkami, but with many task inside.

The Overview is the first view that you’ll see once you go into Projects. It is much alike Yammer window. You can paste attachment and all. You can see some attachment below the long post I blurred.

This is All Conversation. Conversation: Threaded topic/ discussion. And you can paste attachment and all too. The diffierence with the overview is I see Overview is kinda like announcement, and Conversation is much more topic oriented. Let’s go deeper into one of the Conversation

In this ‘Online Advertisement’ Conversation, as you can see, there’s a list of people following that conversation. Here it can be more oriented without roaming to other topics rather than Overview.

This is All Task List. Since most of our Task List using clients name, we decide to blue-ed it. Every main task have a sub-task. As you can see, Weddingkami Template Design is empty. And all below are our clients. So the Ideation has left behind is my assigned task, and there’s remaining two site assigned to Faisal Arba’in for Publishing task.

Now this is inside specific task. This task is assigned to Faisal Arbain and the status is still open. I can also view completed task to keep track with.

Now this is Pages. For me, this is can be a single repository to everything. Here I kept all details/notes/everything about the project and also future plannings. It is a directory that serve as references. Let see inside one of the Pages.

Now this is one of the Pages. Here I put all related info about this particular client. I can put inside Task list too but again as I said, for better maintenance, refer everything and every details inside Pages.

And lastly, this is Files. It simply list all files that you’ve uploaded. Now this is neat.
I skipped Time Tracking since we’ve yet to use it. It’s only one month we’ve been using it, and love it when we paired with Yammer. This video below is to show you how we make Teambox, originally a web-apps to become Desktop apps.
So get your Teambox now. Pair it with Fluid and you got a nice desktop apps
Stay tune for more App Showdown!
