Yeh, my partner is also becoming a primary school teacher in Australia. I also noticed the duplication with lesson plans they were having when they went to do their practical components at schools. So I built a little app[1] to help her and her colleagues create lesson plans and share it with each other. No intention of monetising it, just wanted to learn some mongodb and rails with it.

Good to see you know your target users. Maybe you can outline example use cases somewhere in the copy. It might be be enough to persuade potential customers that they need your product. =)

Looks nice and clean. Is there a way to create tasks for separate projects? It appears to me that you can only have one wall of tasks?

You should change your email address in the footer from info[at]managewith[dot]us to info@managewith.us and make it clickable.

I think spam filters these days manage to capture a majority of the junk that you might receive from harvesters.

Very intuitive but I personally won't pay $10 for this service.

Hi bl4k,

I understand your point about a wiki. For now, I don't want to host tutorials on Mongofu. I'd prefer people to host their own tutorials on their own blogs/websites and let others know of this through Mongofu.

Your second point, "good tutorials are always relevant"; I completely agree with you there and I'll sort out a vote/rank algorithm eventually. Perhaps a moderated static page to post these "great" resources.

Thanks for the feedback mate.

hey benologist, hehe yes I agree it needs more resources. Thats why i'm hoping people will post up resources. I only made the site live 12 hours ago ;)

The mongodb commmunity is quite small right now I think, i'm sure it'll grow, and the amount of resources out there will grow with it. =)

Sorry, missed your last point. I agree that stack overflow and mongo wiki are great resources and I'm not trying to replace these at all.

My aim is to have people post their tutorials and articles in a more centralised place. As for the occasional MongoDB question, perhaps it is better to post at stack overflow, we'll see how things play out and what people prefer.

Anyway, this is more of a instrument for me to learn to develop and manage a website anyway. Thanks again

Hey Gary, Yeh I agree with you on the point about not using an email, I've actually stuck that on my todo list last night after thinking about it. As for openId and fbconnect, I have plans to implementing these later on. I just wanted to launch it and see if it'll be useful to people first and refine it.

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated! =)
