It must be quite hard to sell Backlog, but without sales effort, no product can be successful. I really wish Nulab became a successful product company, because there are not many company earning profit from product in Fukuoka. Custom software development is much less attractive workplace for programmers.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m using Backlog, and satisfied with it.
