That would be cool. Since most services actually expose an API, there are many interesting ideas to explore around the idea of being able to post all different kinds of things to a dispatch, including GH issues or tickets in other issue tracking systems.
Thanks :). That's an interesting thought, but right now we're focused on the value we can to these existing services. We have intentionally launched with a core set of features that we believe is the foundation for other things that become useful in this context, like search across integrations and versioning.
I totally agree that the game changes when you're trying to sell large enterprises on adopting something company-wide, but there is a precedent in products like Yammer that start by gaining adoption with small teams and organically grow out. That's the type of model we're interested in exploring.
Hi, I'm Nick, one of the founders. I really appreciate the thoughts on our product. We're focused on smaller teams for now, because we are a small team and are building Dispatch to be the tool we wanted to use. It's not just about being notified when something changes, (which Growl is great for), it's being able to have a discussion with the full context of whatever you're working on. We find that having a central place to facilitate this discussion is really valuable.
We also believe that the integration model, versus wholesale adoption of an entire platform, is what we prefer for our team. We love the products we integrate with for what they do, but we wanted something better than email to keep things organized and focused.
Thanks, you found our first production bug! Should be fixed now :)
We still will require the file description, because in our opinion, the page that allows someone to upload the file should have some sort of reminder as to what file they are supposed to be uploading is (even if it is very brief).
Yep, there is a checkbox on the form that allows you to skip sending the email. Instead, on the confirmation page, you'll be given a unique URL and a password that you can send however you'd like.
Nothing is superficial, we always appreciate feedback. Can you tell me what browser you're using? Most of the site is set in Goudy Bookletter 1911, by The League of Moveable Type. Is this what it looks like in your browser? http://bit.ly/2oH1TM
