Kitemaker Changelog - Issue #10

Hey 👋

Below is a summary of the new things we have released in Kitemaker lately.

You can check it all out by heading over to Kitemaker!

We’ve added a sidebar that will help you navigate your organization and all your spaces. You can hide the sidebar at any time by pressing the << icon on the sidebar itself, or using the hotkey cmd/ctrl+s.

Now we have a flexible setup where we can continue to enhance Kitemaker without it becoming confusing or cluttered.

The first feature to take advantage of this new design is the work item backlog. By clicking “Add element” or using the Kitemaker Command (cmd/ctrl+K) and searching for “Add work item backlog”, you can add a separate backlog to your space. This has been a frequently requested feature for teams that want to maintain a large backlog but don’t want it cluttering up their board.

When a backlog is added to a space, there will be a separate Backlog board where you can keep your backlog organized and easily move things to your Current board when you’re ready to start work on them.

Now collaborating on themes is even easier. Themes now have an activity feed just like work items, so you can have discussions and track the activities related to your themes. Keep an eye out for even more theme enhancements coming soon.

This is a feature we’ve had a lot of requests for and now it’s finally here! You can now add any file to your work items and themes by either dragging and dropping them or typing ‘/file’ in the description or comment. 

We’re introducing a GraphQL API that allows teams to manipulate their spaces, work items and themes programatically. It’s in its early stages and subject to change, but teams are already testing it out.

If you have any feedback, you can:

We’re always pushing out small but important fixes, so here’s some of the smaller things we’ve gone live with recently:
