Not trying to be snarky, just genuinely curious: why would I use this?
My team uses an issue tracker right now (YouTrack, from JetBrains) as a central hub for our activity. Telling people what you're working on is as easy as changing the status of a ticket to "In Progress".
Is there something about this system that reduces the friction of that process (simply selecting an item from a dropdown)? It seems like having to actually go type out what you're working on would be more work (not to mention that if someone wants more detail about the ticket you're working on, they have to look it up themselves instead of clicking on it).
