@karthiks25 @fares_aktouf Thanks so much Fares!! Appreciate the support 🧑🚀🚀
@harrison_riehle Wonderful! Let us know how we can help as you get up and running :)
@ozbad03 this looks super cool. Honestly, we have been looking for a good tool for announcements. This looks a great fit. Shared it with the team and you can count us in :). Good luck for the future.
@mjain_mayank Thanks so much Mayank! Yeah it can be tough to announce stuff with really high velocity in the early days. Glad to hear you feel like this fits the bill and excited to have you aboard :). Keep us posted if we can help at all!
Love the simple clean design. What would be the suggested workflow for reviewing and moving to DevOps backlogs?
@skosmach Thanks Scott! I'm sure our (super talented) designer is lurking in the comments here and will be grateful for the compliment :). To answer your question -- currently you'd need to create tickets separately in your eng management system, but you can review the feature ideas within your internal dashboard, comment on them, then mark the ones you want to actually build as "planned" as you're creating those tickets. We have a few integrations coming within the next couple weeks though to allow you to push feature ideas directly to tools like Jira, Productboard, etc. when you're ready to add them to the roadmap.
Ah nice! @kantarci was looking for a tool for feature request collection maybe this can be it. Can we have password-protected request pages that we can send to our design partners?
@kantarci @boroskoyo Password protection is coming *super* soon! Should have support for that sometime within the next month or so. Meantime, you can kind of work around that by sharing the page link with your design partners and just not publish it publicly on your website (which is what we did ourselves for a bit with a couple partners)
I'm fascinated and can really imagine coming back to this in the future!
Something I'm still not sure about. Does Ignition generate changelog files too or can Ignition read properly formatted changelog files e. g. conventional changelog?
@alexander_eble Super glad to hear you're excited about this Alexander! Would love to help you get up to speed when you do come back around. Re: changelog files -- can you clarify a bit what you mean? Today, the changelogs in Ignition are basically "posts" to announce these release notes, so there's not really any importing of them from other changelog locations. However, we do plan to add some generation tools pretty soon to help with writing them :)
Thanks for the answer, @ozbad03 !
To clarify, I'd really like to see (automatic) import of changelog files in repositories which can be used for proclamations on Ignition in a intelligent way.
Starting points for Ignition could be standardized changelog files based on commit conventions. For example, I use a plugin for the release CLI tool release-it which works on the basis of several presets like conventional commits. semantic-release is similar.
I love the idea, also that it is free forever!
Congratulations on the launch!
@shushant_lakhyani Thank you so much Shushant! Yeah "free for life" is always a pretty decent price ;)
@sunkim Thanks Sun! Really glad you're loving the concept :). Would love to hear what you think once you've dug in a bit more!
This looks really solid and can really help with informing and engaging customers. I need to check it out more hands on.
Any chance I can integrate the users with other tools?
(As a product person, I love your freemium approach here. You even directly answered my immediate question of how much you plan to continue investing in it despite it being free.)
@nyseans Glad it seems useful to you Sean! *Currently* you can't integrate the users who subscribe with other tools (you can export them to CSV so you can easily import them though), buuuut we do have integrations coming in the near future for this so you'll be able to easily pipe those subscribers to, for example, your marketing automation tool to be able to segment customer emails/etc. based on subscriber lists. Those are probably a couple months off, but absolutely on the roadmap.
Congrats on the Launch @ozbad03
This could be a great alternative to Canny. But why free forever?
@anil_meena21 Thanks Anil! Yeah we love Canny too, but definitely happy to be the free alternative when folks are looking to get something off the ground more inexpensively :). And as for why free forever -- this is really designed as a baby-step into our broader GTM platform, and since it's really more of an acquisition tool for us we prefer to give it away for free and make it super accessible. To be clear though, we plan to devote as much product support to this tool as if it were part of our core revenue-generating product (since it's a critical part of that experience as well).
@mituhin Thanks Paul! Yeah this is awesome for early companies that don't have a lot of time to squeeze research and product change comms in. Also good for bigger companies as well though, since they feel a lot of the same problems around this!
Ignition is a great Product Marketing tool! Looking forward to trying this out :) Thanks!!!
@peter_douglas_ross Amazing to hear Peter! So glad to have you in our corner :). Definitely keep us posted if we can help with getting these pages set up at all!
@ankita_sharma9 Super glad you're digging it Ankita! Can't wait to *have* you use it and hear what you think :)
Great stuff here , Team Ignition . Congratulations on the launch !
Can’t wait to try this out 👍
@manoosh Thank you Manoosh! Excited to see what you're shipping with it down the road :)
