Asana vs Moo.do

Asana has fantastic mechanisms for dealing with team collaboration. Not only can tasks be assigned to team members, but Asana lets users follow tasks and use hyperlinks to refer to team members within a task.

The Asana task workflow within a project is broken down into "Today," "Upcoming," and "Later." The tasks themselves have the status of either done or not done. There is also a subtask feature to group tasks together. Tasks can be assigned to other team members and are stored in the "Inbox" view for processing. This replaces email for some team communication.

Teams can have private (only visible to project members) and public (visible to anyone in the team) projects. Each member can also have their own personal projects.

Tasks can be viewed in list and calendar views. It's possible to display only the tasks assigned to the user or tasks organized by project or team. Single tasks can exist in multiple projects. Lists of tasks can be divided into sections and organized in many different ways – tasks that still have to be done, tasks that have been completed, by due date, by assignee, by popularity, etc.

Expanding a task will allow adding things like subtasks, tags, and attachments, as well as comments. Users can also subscribe to a task via RSS from this view. There's a separate view specifically for attachments.

Search lets you find what you’re looking for quickly.

The tagging system enables project managers to easily filter tasks.

There are many videos, tutorials, and reference documents to help you get up and running.

Asana provides a list view and a Kanban view which can be selected if a new project is created.

Keyboard shortcuts all involve the Tab key, so it is unlikely that they will interfere with shortcuts that have already been established.

It's possible to have tasks appear in a Slack channel.

You can use tags like @next, @today, @tomorrow, and you will see all your tasks in agenda panel.

Despite having many different features, Moo.do is extremely intuitive to use right from the start.

There is no limit to how many nested lists you can create. This gives you a lot of freedom structuring your ideas.

The multi-pane feature allows you to view lots of information on the same screen so there is no need to frequently switch between pages.

Very fast application which is useful when you want to brainstorm. No lags at all.

Kanban boards.

Markdown support.

You can quickly tag any of your content with one of the priority levels to help you stay organized and address the most important tasks first.

You have three options (classic, outliner, and dark) for themes. The differences are specific to how your content is formatted (for example: how bullets are displayed, if at all). You can also toggle the "grayscale" option if you don't want your tags to be in color.

The design of the interface was well thought out. Despite the abundance of features, the interface is intuitive to navigate. It has a very clean, minimal design.

You can #tag words anywhere throughout your notes in order to easily find them and keep similar notes organized.

Moo.do has an application for gmail that lets you fully organize your emails and turn them into a todo list. E-mails can be organized into different folders including what needs a reply, the priority levels, what is completed etc.
