DoneDone Public Release – 12/02/11
December 2, 2011
Hey folks, here’s a summary of what’s new or updated in DoneDone as of this early evening. If this is the first time you’ve visited the We Are Mammoth blog, well, then welcome! We Are Mammoth is the company which builds DoneDone. We post updates and musings on DoneDone pretty regularly here, always using the tag ‘DoneDone’.
Please be in touch with any questions, comments, or shouts!
Edit a comment
You can now edit a comment if it’s within 30 minutes of creating it. If you’re curious, yes, you can also remove/add attachments while editing. A long time coming, and now it’s here. I believe Bruce Springsteen sang that at some point. Note: only the comment’s author can edit a comment, and once the 30 minutes has passed, that’s it, it’s written in stone.
Edit a comment for 30 minutes. Then, it turns to stone!
Alert system
Our in-app alert system will allow us to communicate site downtime & updates to the entire DoneDone userbase. We could’ve done this using regular email, but this is cleaner, and less spammy. In addition to global alerts, we’ll also be able to send communications to specific users and accounts. We will not be using this as a platform to discuss my fascination with ‘real snail mail’, which is real by the way.
Alerts for maintenance, system downtime, etc.
Remember me? Well, do ya?
Click the Remember Me option on the sign in screen. It’s simple. DoneDone will remember you. For 20 years. We removed it a few weeks ago to work out some session/cookie kinks which seem to have gone the way of the dodo. And good riddance. It’s back again, and should be stable. We’re sorry it took a bit.
Forget those pesky usernames and passwords. Click "Remember me".
I like you to consider having a project overview page annoucement like in Basecamp project.
This would allow the project administrator to put out a statement when the project is started, when the project has reached a certain phase, etc.
Hey Chew Kim Poh –
Good to hear from ya. If I’m understanding you correctly, are you thinking that we’d create a way for Account/Project admins to create their own alerts which post to a project/account dashboard?
Cheers,
CB
