  4. 🚀 We’ve Revamped Astravue – And It’s Just the Beginning!

     

    From the Founder’s Desk

     

    I'm beyond excited to introduce the all-new Astravue – redesigned from the ground up to compete globally with the likes of Trello, Asana, ClickUp, and Todoist.

     

    But we didn’t stop at just looks. We rethought the pricing, the product, and the purpose—to make project management a profit-driving force for your business.

     

    What makes Astravue different?

     

    ✅ Every feature in every plan – No feature-based pricing. Everyone gets full access.

    ✅ User-based pricing now live – Perfect for small teams (under 50 employees).

    ✅ Flat pricing for larger teams – One simple fee, unlimited control.

    ✅ Unlimited guest users – Invite clients, vendors, anyone. No extra cost.

    ✅ Starter plan – Just limits users and storage. Features? You get them all.

     

    Most tools hide value behind paywalls. We’ve removed them.

     

    Because we believe:

    👉 If you’re managing a project, you should be managing its profit too.

     

    We’re just getting started. Soon, Astravue will come packed with AI insights, mobile apps, and developer-friendly APIs—all aimed at helping you track and grow your project margins.

     

    If you're a business that’s ready to stop guessing and start growing:

  5. We’re Listening, We’re Building – Here’s What’s Fixed - May 21st

    Fix
    Announcement

    Hi There,

     

    These latest updates are just another step in our ongoing commitment to excellence.

     

    1. Descriptions over 500 characters were causing layout issues in project fields. This has now been handled for a cleaner experience.

     

    2. Fixed an issue where task statuses couldn't be changed when grouped by “Owners.” This is now working as expected.

     

    3. Guests invited to the organization will no longer be automatically added to any spaces or projects, ensuring stricter access control.

     

    4. Identified that preview is not available for Excel attachments. This is under review and will be addressed in an upcoming update.

     

    5. Comment count did not update immediately after a comment was deleted. This issue has been fixed and counts now reflect changes in real-time.

     

    6. The recurring task widget was not reflecting changes instantly. This has now been resolved for real-time updates.

     

    7. A bug preventing recurring issues from being saved has been fixed. The underlying logic has also been corrected to ensure consistent behavior.

     

    8. Time tracking data was not updating immediately on the Home dashboard widget. This has now been fixed for real-time accuracy.

     

    We’re constantly working to improve your experience, and every fix and enhancement we ship is a reflection of that commitment. Your feedback helps us move faster and build better.

     

    Thank you for being part of this journey

  6. What's new in this week release - May 12,2025

    Fix
    Improvement

    After rolling out two major features last week, this week was all about tuning the engine. Enhancing the experience and fixing bugs to keep things running smoothly.

     

    🔧 Enhancements

     

    Fresh New Onboarding Screen:

    The old one felt a bit too... basic. We’ve redesigned the onboarding experience to better reflect our mission and give new users a more engaging start.

     

    Smarter Contact Management Access:

    Now, only admins (Account Admin, Admin, and Space Admin) can view contact management to keep things clean and secure.

     

    Guest Users, Handled Automatically:

    Invited guests will now be automatically added to contact management. No extra steps needed.

     

    🛠️ Fixes

     

    • Preview was not working for documents and certain file types.
    • Missing counts for chats and dependent tasks in Task Details.
    • Timelog dashboard filters weren’t appearing.
    • Real-time updates were inconsistent for tasks and user invites(more coming soon!).
    • Couldn’t edit admin name when duplicating a task.
    • Project filters not appearing in some views.
    • Contact saving delays in rare cases

    Thanks for sticking with us as we refine and grow.

     

    More updates are in the pipeline. Stay tuned!

    Founder, Astravue

     

  7. Dependencies & Client Access Made Easy

     

    We’ve just rolled out two powerful features to help you manage projects better and build stronger client relationships.

     

    🔗 Task Dependencies – Stay in Flow

    Now, you can set tasks as blocking or blocked by others to ensure work happens in the right order.

     

    Dependency

     

    Use case: Need to send a client presentation? Make sure your team completes the analysis first. Link the tasks, and your flow stays intact.

    ­

    👤 Clients in the Loop

    Bring your clients into the project without overwhelming them.

     

    Guest User

     

    With the Guest Role, they can:

     

    View project status

    Add comments

    Stay informed without edit permissions

    It’s the simplest way to collaborate with clients while keeping control of your workspace.

     

    ­

    🚀 These updates are built to help you deliver work more efficiently and transparently.

     

     

  8. 🚀 What’s New in This Release- Apr 9th,2025

     

    We’ve rolled out two important fixes and a small, yet meaningful enhancement to make your experience smoother:

     

    Fixed Lateby Days Calculation:

     

    The calculation for Lateby Days (tasks completed after the due date) was off—this is now corrected and accurate.

     

    Resolved Bulk Deletion Bug:

     

    An issue that was causing trouble when deleting tasks in bulk from the list view has been squashed. Delete away with confidence!

     

    UI Enhancement for Mentions & Notifications:

     

    We’ve fine-tuned the margins and padding in mention and notification messages for a cleaner, more visually pleasant experience.

     

     

    🔮 Sneak Peek: What’s Coming Next

     

    Here’s a glimpse of what’s on the horizon:

     

    Task Dependencies – Create smarter workflows by linking tasks based on dependencies.

    Guest Roles – Invite external collaborators with tailored permissions.

  9. Astravue Release Notes - Mar 31st,2025

     

    This release focuses exclusively on bug fixes and improvements to enhance the overall user experience within Astravue. Below are the key updates:

     

    - Resolved an issue where clicking on New Task would unintentionally carry over the subject and details from the currently viewed task.

     

    - The dropdown menu now auto-closes as soon as a value is selected, improving usability and workflow efficiency.

     

    - Previously, "Late" or "Due by" indicators displayed time only in months, which was often unclear. This has been updated to show both months and days for better clarity.

     

    - Adjusted the numerical values displayed in widgets to reflect accurate data sizes and metrics.

     

    -Clicking on high-level metrics in most widgets now opens a detailed tabular view of related tasks and projects. (Note: This improvement is still pending for Time Log widgets.)

    📊 Single Select Field in "Group By"

    Single select fields can now roll with status, priority, and owners. Say you’ve got a field called “Stages” with values like Design, Implementation, Dev, and Release. Now ,you can group tasks by them for a crystal-clear workflow.

     

    ✅ Set Default for Single Select Fields

    Tired of manually adjusting views? When you pick a single select field in “Group By,” Astravue will remember your choice and set it as the default for that project. Effortless, right?
