Has a lot of potential

This is a great little plugin. DAS is a really specialized piece of code so it might not be right for everyone but if you work with clients this could be the thing for you. On its own, it doesn’t do very much and didn’t have quite the functionality that I needed but with the premium add ons for it, It becomes so much more. The price is high but it really makes this a much better product.

I needed a way to show my work to clients at different stages of development. I can’t really use email any more because my inbox just blows up after a while, and email systems like ZenDesk don’t work because clients can’t seem to follow up in a single thread. I needed to somehow post work on my website and only let logged in clients view it.

For all the searching I did, I couldn’t find any piece of software or web app that does this. Thats where DAS came in. I’m still working out a few things but I think this system will really help my business once I get it fully operating with my clients.

There are a few problems. Its a bit complicated to start out. Users can only leave one comment per design. There is a LOT of repetitive clicking. The project board can look messy after about 4 revisions.

I would like to see something like a more standard comment system in place, simplification of the posting system, and smaller icons for previous versions on the project board. I would also like to see automatic “proof” watermarks and Paypal invoicing built in.

That being said, there is a lot of potential here. Its really the ONLY system that does this kind of thing. They are actively developing their plugins and working out bugs, and they have a good support team that will work with you if you have any problems. Its definitely worth checking out.
