Custom apps are now officially live!

I have been following the custom apps closely - I was here when spaces were called Apps you can probably see me referring to them as such in some early posts in fact! I would love if somebody could explain if there is a way to use this feature to help with some of the big needs I still have:

  • expansion of Threads to generate notifications a different way that’s more slack-like in the inbox - love threads and think they could really alleviate the need for Slack and do so much more if iterated on in that directly

  • have entities show a chronological history of both references and comments so you can get a real activity stream of what is going on around things like key projects, services you’d track in a db, etc

  • Display relations I a way that gets us closer to Polymorphic - I have many DB’s I use as tags that have too many levels because in some cases I need 4 levels of categorization (Objective → Project → Phase → Task) but I want to see cleanly just an objective’s task, or if I’m categorizing with work-type -

Planning
dev
product
product A

vs. another such work-type that only has 2 levels and I have to make up 2 in-between to get to the bottom

Admin
something I have to make up
something I have to make up
accounting

And several more…

Thanks!
