Changelog 7

New things in Kitemaker

Slack integration

We now have a slack integration. It is still in its infancy, but so far, you can mention issues, and the Slack message will be automatically linked to the issue as well as expanded in Slack, and you can create new issues directly in Slack. What do you want us to support in Slack? Drop us a line!

You install the Slack app though the “Integrations” menu.

You can also create issues without leaving Slack

Billing

We need to feed our families occasionally, so we are about to roll out payment plans. If you already need a paid plan, we’ll contact you before we enable it for you. For everyone else, you’ll be part of the free plan. Not ready to pay yet? Contact us, and we’ll figure out a plan for you.

Payment plans will be managed inside Kitemaker

  • You can now deactivate accounts in the “Manage team.”
  • You can now delete archived issues.
  • You can also change the key of a space through Kitemaker command.
  • We fixed a bug where issue preview was broken for some issue mentions.
  • We fixed a bug where you would always get the same color when creating labels during issue creation.
  • Keyboard hints are now less intrusive than before.
  • We made issue descriptions a bit nicer when the first element is an H1.
  • If you happen to delete the “Welcome to Kitemaker” space, you can now recreate it through Kitemaker command.
  • You can now zoom using cmd+= (so no shift on us keyboards) in the desktop app.
  • Updates are now sorted so that unread notifications are always on top.
  • We fixed a bug where the issue preview would stay open when the spacebar has been released.
