I think you can tone down the hype a bit for example "communicate twice as fast" comes across as a number off the top of your head and not an actual metric.
"Deep services integration", where is the API? Hipchat is able to integrate with 50+ services because they have an API which let's other people do the actual work, how can you compete with that level of integration without one?
- felixhaeusler2 12y agoHi Wyck, Thanks for the feedback. I tried to answer the first one in the longer paragraph -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8312972 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8312972 Regarding the API: We actually have an activity API (similar to Hipchat), through which any service can connect and push activities into our client. The "index API" will take longer to release, as it is a lot more complex and less explored. You see, Hipchat/Slack/etc. only allow you to see the latest activities of your service. As "Deep Service Integration" means that you can access the Service's data as you type, integrating a service into ChatGrape is a lot more challenging. With Google Drive, for example, we have to index the files, and update said index on actions like file renames, deletions, movements, and many more - additionally to displaying activities. The good thing is, we are getting a lot better at it and the more we grow, the more services will hopefully try to exploit our richer interface. I see it like this: The 50+ integrations of Hipchat don't matter to 90% of the people, if we integrate the 10 most commonly used services 10 times better. Best, F
- wyck 12y agoThanks for the reply ,this type of integration sounds like it would in fact speed up the work flow, it sounds very interesting.
