BitBucket issues integration

Our latest project management integration is now live: BitBucket!

Setting up your BitBucket integration is very simple thanks to OAuth! Head over to your integrations page, and click on the "Connect BitBucket" button.

Once that's done, you can start creating issues in the repositories where you've enabled them! (You can find instructions on how to enable issue on your repos at the following link: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Enable+an+issue+tracker)

By going the feedback thread you want to send to BitBucket, you'll see that the "Send to..." button now has a new option:

Clicking that, opens the form so you can select the repository you want, and type in a name for the issue:

Once you enter your title, you'll see a note that the issue was created on BitBucket:

The description is already prepopulated for you with the original message from the user. Nicely formatted in markdown of course!

Go ahead, give it a whirl! If you haven't got an account yet, go sign up now: https://doorbell.io, it's free!

Organizations

After lots of hard work, it’s very exciting to finally announce the launch of organizations on Doorbell. Organizations are mostly targeted at companies, so this post might not be for everyone. Either way, here goes...

Organization basics

Organizations allow you to do 2 things at the moment. Group applications, and manage in one place the users who have access to them. Much easier than having to invite the same people to each individual application you make!

Also, when moving an existing application to your shiny new organization, you can easily move all the users along with it. Nice and simple!

Coming soon

Bulk edit applications (enable or disable features on all applications)

Defaults for new application

Bulk export all data of applications

Fully customize the view feedback page your customers see

Enjoy!

Comfort zone

There comes a point in a developer’s life where you’ve done too many side projects. You’ve started one, you’ve completed the prototype, and you’ve shelved it. And now, you don’t even start them anymore. You can pretty much map out how the whole thing would be done, so why bother actually building it? Where’s the challenge?

I’ve reached that point. I’ve done too many side projects which stayed on the shelf. I’ve done this many times, staying within my comfort zone and just doing what I know I can do.

So, I’m forcing myself outside of it! I’ve just completed my latest side project, doorbell.io. Being a programmer for a long time, I’ve never really dabbled with design or UX. So I got myself a sketch pad and got drawing.

Now that I have my MVP completed, it’s time to work on the next part of an application’s life cycle: marketing and user acquisition.

I haven’t got a clue what in doing. And I couldn’t be more excited!
