Free Idea: Tweet Comments

free ideas

Imagine every blog article gets a unique hashtag. (kind of like how url shorteners work.) Twitter turns into a very simple way to comment on articles across the whole internet tracked via the hashtags.

You could build a cool site where you could see recently commented on articles. See what’s most popular, and see what users are commenting on what. Kind of like TweetMeme. Kind of like Digg.

Create Roles in Your Web App Studio

If you’re reading this, you just might be one of a few dudes in a room working on something similar to what we built. Or a few ladies in a room, or pick your combo. No matter, if you’re one of the readers of this blog who is also working on putting out a web app, then you know this feeling: You work, work, work, and then you wonder what to do…

Our business is a weird business. In many ways it’s like other product-focused industries- but it’s different. When other product companies send a product to manufacturing, there is a gap. A time between the original products, revisions, and next products.

In the web app industry there is no such gap. No such cycle to give us cues on how to live, or work. As soon as you’re done, tweaking begins, then you find it hard to draw a line between tweaking, and adding. You’re never done. Keep Reading

Ear to the ground: Staction

Ear to the ground, Staction

We’re constantly listening to what people are saying about our apps. Whether it’s on Twitter or someone’s personal blog we listen and, when we feel we can help, we try to respond. Besides being a great way to gauge public opinion, these conversations have given us quite a few good ideas for new features and blog topics and, for our users, its a great way to let them know that someone on the other end is listening.

Since releasing Staction in January we’ve been seeing more and more mentions of it on Twitter and, like the proud parents we are, we’d like to share a few with you. It makes us especially happy that a few of the tweets from users sound like they’re having great success at simplifying their workflow with Staction.

I am falling in love with Staction. Thank you!
Staction looks interesting. Like the simplicity
Checking out staction for project management. Worst product name ever, but looks cool.

  • @visualswede Glad to hear it!
  • @gary_schroeder We think it's much faster. Interlinking, file management, and renaming all built in. Plus, the whole collaboration thing.
