Today I messed around with this thing called “Jirah Mayweather.” It was a bit of a pain to get started, honestly. First, I had to dig around and find out what it actually was. Turns out, it’s like a project management tool, kind of like Trello or Asana, but with a few different twists.
So, I went ahead and signed up for an account. It was free, which is always a plus. Then, I created a new project just to see how it worked. I named it “Test Project” – real original, I know. After that, I started playing around with the different features.
- I made some lists, like “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done.” Pretty standard stuff.
- Then I added a few cards to the “To Do” list, just some random tasks I thought of.
- I figured out how to assign those cards to myself, which seemed important.
- I even added some due dates to the cards, just to keep myself on track.
One thing I noticed was that it felt a little clunky at first. Maybe I’m just used to other tools, but it took me a little bit to get the hang of the interface. But once I started clicking around and experimenting, it got easier.
Moving Cards Around
I started dragging and dropping cards between the lists. That was pretty smooth, no issues there. I even tried out adding some comments and attachments to the cards. Seemed to work fine. I also tried to add the description in a card, which was also easy enough. I also tried to change the color of each card to make them unique. The feature is a little bit hard to find but I eventually found it.
Overall Thoughts
After spending a couple of hours with Jirah Mayweather, I feel like it has potential. It’s got most of the basic features you’d expect from a project management tool. It was free. I just started the trial today and I don’t know how much it would cost. It’s not the most intuitive thing in the world, but it’s not terrible either. I might keep playing around with it and see if it grows on me. Who knows, maybe it’ll become my new favorite tool. We’ll see. I’ll probably try to use it for some real projects and see how it handles the workload. If it falls apart, well, at least I tried. I will definitely keep you guys posted about what happened next.
