JetBrains (a company that manufactures software designed for project management and integrated development environments for various programming languages) recently unveiled the public launch of Space, an all-in-one collaboration platform for creative teams.
Space aims to be a foothold for teams which could include developers, marketing, design, human resources, legal teams and others who perform any type of work that requires multimedia and multi-channel communication, meeting scheduling and project management.
Space's goal is combine all general collaboration toolssuch as chats, team and project management, meetings and scheduling, and documents, all in one space. As a result, the entire software or creative development cycle is represented in one application and there is no need to "switch context" (or switch between applications when and lose place).
“With Space, there is no need to switch tools as everything is in one place, which helps us easily get a good overview of the entire company,” said Andras Kindler, co-founder of Makery, a service provider. and digital products. “We use checklists, problems, built-in code reviews, blog posts, and more. The space allows us to keep all processes on track «.
Thus, Space helps create a holistic sense for each person on a team, allowing the application to be transformed to fit the role of the person using it.
"Before Space, our developers often felt isolated from the rest of the team and didn't play a deeper role in projects," said Anna Vinogradova, chief marketing officer at AmberCore Software Ltd., a company specializing in technology product development. . "We've been looking for a tool that channels everything into one group and makes it easier for team members to discuss their tasks with each other rather than sitting in isolation in their repository."
In the future, Space will add features that allow it to sync with Google Calendar and Outlook, as well as integrate with other popular tools.
Application It also has an HTTP application programming interface, webhooks, a Space Client software development kit, custom fields and automations. It will soon offer private and market applications, along with other public-facing features.
"JetBrains started as a developer company, but now 40% of our team plays different creative roles: designers, marketers, copywriters and others," said JetBrains CEO Maxim Shafirov. "We have created Space so that we can continue to work together as a team and we believe other companies will benefit as well."
Of the features that stand out from Space, we can find the following:
- HTTP API: webhooks and client SDK for integration with external tools.
- PFlexible customization and automation: in-product with custom fields and Kotlin workflows to suit specific organizational structures and processes.
- Interactive bots and commands: Applications can register bots that will act as counterparts in the chat and can be interacted with. Another way to communicate with applications is through commands.
- Space as authorization server: OAuth2, the industry standard authorization protocol, is used to provide Space access to external applications, integrations and services.
- Space Client SDK: An official Space Client SDK for Kotlin and .NET is offered to enable even tighter integration with Space at the source code level.
- Applications: The primary way to expand Space. Develop applications that work with different Space modules and perform different actions.
Space starts with a free tier for companies to try out the software and subscription options starting at $ 8 per active user per month for broader team collaboration. The platform is available in the cloud and will also have a local version in the near future.
