Hi guys, I was interested in creating the equivalent functionality of “watcher” that is offered by a lot of PM apps around their tasks and entities. This is a user who is “subscribed” to an entity’s activity - so they are informed when any status changes, fields are adjusted, comments are made, an…

Implemented in new release [image] Sep 21, 2023 / face_holding_back_tears Watch Entity (through tears), AI Search is out of beta, no fixed bugs Changelog face_holding_back_tears Watch Entity and get notifications This feature was requested by at least 50 accoun…

I agree with all of what @uniquelau has said, as well as that watchers should tie in closely with Notifications. One thing that comes to mind is that in most other apps where I’ve seen watching well implemented, you will be notified about comments around something you are watching, or key changes l…

[image] mdubakov: We are going to start implementation next week, so some more detailed requirements/use cases are very welcome, they will help us to build a better solution. The “normal” set-up for ticket systems is that they have a creator/reporter, assignee(s), and watchers. Creators and/o…

Love this post, @HereBeBeasties I think you’ve hit it all perfectly! Particularly agree with this comment below: [image] HereBeBeasties: “{Name} was updated” really doesn’t cut it for us that creates a lot of lost benefit as the user has to click in to see what actually happened, instead of…

[image] B_Sp: the lack of evolved “typical” features you’d see in other more well-known tools, such as notifications, comments, easily configurable activity dashboard, more robust search (showing at least which entities are “done”), mobile friendly versions, etc. At the risk of sounding like …

Chris, I think you should know I’m a cheerleader for Fibery and my team has been around here longer than you in fact, we are paying customers and expanding our paid seats right here right now! I do think it is fair to compare you guys with best in class, I feel you should set the bar that high. If…

[image] B_Sp: as far as search, you guys have some very nice aspects, such as speed, default to most recently viewed, and a few others, but definitely do not agree you’re superior to Clickup, Wrike, Asana, and a bunch of other tools that have all kinds of filters, snippets more built out I th…

[image] Lack of Work Management features in Fibery (Reminders, Dependencies, Notifications, My Work, etc.) You’re absolutely right @Chr1sG that Fibery is better than even some industry-leading tools in certain respects. I actually didn’t mean that. So sorry if I gave that impression. I actuall…

One final thing, I do not want to give the impression that Fibery just doesn’t care about these things. [image] Fibery End Game (product company example) How Fibery will transform product companies work and knowledge management processes, help them invent better solutions and build thing…

[image] Chr1sG: [image] HereBeBeasties: notifications are honestly the biggest drawback … and very nearly made us not buy the product. But for every user that complains that product area X is just not good enough, there are other users for whom X is just about good enough. It’s like the p…

[image] HereBeBeasties: I am not a Fibery dev, just an experienced external dev looking in.) I’m not a dev either, but… [image] HereBeBeasties: You’d clone/refactor the assignees functionality, remove a couple of bits from it (it won’t be used for avatars badges on summary links, etc.), …
