Kitemaker Changelog - Issue #4

We’re excited to announce the new stuff we have made available for you in Kitemaker.

Head over to www.kitemaker.co to check out all the new stuff!

Do you have some feedback or suggestions? Contact us at hi@kitemaker.co

Note: If you know any team that you think should try out Kitemaker, then ping us at hi@kitemaker.co, and we’ll give them access.

We have now released the first version of roadmap and themes. If you are not familiar with themes, it’s, in this context, basically similar to Jira Epics. To add an issue to a theme, simply press ‘!’ when the issue has focus. To view the roadmap, press ‘G’ then ‘!’.

Note that themes that are in the “Current” time horizon are visible on top of the issue board.

By pressing ‘F’ you can now filter the board. You can so far filter on assignees, labels, themes, free text, and creation dates. You can also press ‘Q’ on the board to instant filter issues assigned to you.

Keyboard shortcuts are powerful, and some more powerful than others. That is why you can now undo all the risky actions in Kitemaker.

We have met some teams with a long history in Github Issues. That is why we built a Github Issues import. The import doesn’t only bring the issues, the assignees, and labels, but also closed issues, and their history.

Missing an importer for your tool? We’ll build more, so tell us about it at hi@kitemaker.co

You can now copy/paste issues (cmd+c and then cmd+v). This allows you to duplicate issues or copy issues across spaces. Notice that when you do copy an issue, it brings all history, and both original and new issues will contain an activity referencing the other issue.

One of the challenges of Kitemaker is to teach the user about all the cool things in Kitemaker. Therefore are we improving the onboarding. Currently, we’re testing a tutorial that explains how to set up the first space in an organization.n

Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for improvements are always welcome. We read and respond to all of them. Ping us at hi@kitemaker.co, and we’ll look into it ASAP. 

Also, if you want a quicker way of giving feedback and ask questions, you can sign-up to our community Slack channel. Ping us at hi@kitemaker.co to get access!

We don’t remember everything we did (because it was a lot), but here is a list of some of the other changes we have done:
