Magic branches for todos & updates screen

Updates and notification screen

To simplify navigation and going through updates and notifications, we made the updates into a screen in addition to the quick modal. You can press g then u to go to the updates screen, or click "Updates" in the sidebar. The notification bell in the header now only shows new notifications.

Magic branches for todos

We have added magic branches support for our todos. That way, you can get a magic branch that will automatically set a todo to in progress and done based on the state of the branch and pull/merge request.

You can get the name of the Git branch by either using the Kitemaker generated name (press ctrl/cmd+ shift+ g, or find it in the “…” menu for todos), or you can simply include the identifier for the todo in the branch name (the ABC-123a number).

Beta features

Here are some of the upcoming features we’re currently iterating on which are not generally available to all users yet.

If you’re interested in trying out one of these features, send us a mail at hi@kitemaker.co or ping us on our community Slack!

• We’re adding a place in Kitemaker where you can collect feedback from your users and link the insights from them to work items and themes.
• We’re experimenting with adding a data warehouse syncing function to Kitemaker to enable teams to query their Kitemaker data right from the comfort of their own data warehouse.
• A “create work item” button at the bottom of the screen for each column
