Loving the custom apps, they’re great for extending parts of Fibery’s functionality!
One issue though: can I actually use all of Fibery’s functionality in my Custom Apps?
For instance, I wanted to make a task management app that basically worked just like Fibery’s Boards but with a couple of additional features. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the AI to reuse Fibery’s Comments and Version History features, so I have to make a tradeoff: either use Fibery’s native solution (Boards) or use a Custom App with some new features but missing some native ones.
I’d love if the Custom Apps could truly extend Fibery’s functionality without losing any aspects of it. Is this possible?
Unfortunately it is not possible. Maybe in some relatively far future Fibery will become more component-based and fluid to assemble, but right now every App is build from scratch. All you can do is use UI javascript libraries, but not ready components.
Anyway, you idea that every View/UI/etc in Fibery should be modifiable by AI is a right direction we will think about, but it is a very hard problem for now
I assume that @papertroll is asking about the ability for custom apps to be able to access all parts of the underlying data model (comments, activity log, rich text history, references, highlights) rather than AI being able to re-use/tweak native components/views
Thanks both for your replies! In case it changes your answer, @mdubakov, @Chr1sG is basically correct about what I meant (thanks for helping me clarify ).
I would like any comments feature in the app to work exactly like Fibery’s does: users get mentions, users get notifications, etc. Same for version history: there’s a button that users can click in the app that shows them the history of an entity, exactly the same as it works within Fibery natively, without them having to leave the app.
Does this clarification change anything? I assume not, given this quote:
