Due dates, Hubspot Integration, and more

Due dates

You can now add due dates on work items and todos - awesome when you have that important date coming up. If you are a member of the todo or the work item, you will get notified both the day it’s due and for things that are overdue.

Hubspot integration

We have built a Hubspot integration that works very similar to our Intercom integration, allowing you to push user feedback directly to Kitemaker. The integration will sync as the conversation continues, and you can connect parts of the conversation to work items and initiatives. If you are using HubSpot, we would love for you to test it out.

Beta features

Timelines

We have added timelines as a new roadmap type. This lets you make a project plan based on start and end date, ensuring you can hit those pesky deadlines. Ping us if you want to try them out.

Documents

Keep everything related to product development in Kitemaker. The documents uses our normal awesome document editor, has comments, activities, and let’s you even connect insights to work items and initiatives. All stored in files and folders in Kitemaker. Tell us if you want to try them out and we’ll put you on the list.

Connect Linear issues and Kitemaker todos

If anyone in your company is using Linear, you can with this feature create and link Linear issues and have them appear as todos in Kitemaker or as block mentions. The state of both will be synced from Linear. You can even create new issues from existing Kitemaker todos. Ping us if you are interested in trying this new integration out.

AI in product development

We are currently working on various AI features for Kitemaker. Some are small and some are larger things. If you have specific things you would like to see in Kitemaker regarding AI, LLM, or machine learning, ping us, and we'll take a peek. And if you are lucky, maybe we are already working on it 😊

✨ Parts of this changelog were written using one of our features under development ✨
