Conversations and Notifications

Conversations

Every conversation at a glance (and on a thread!)

Codecks saves you from getting lost in too many sprawling conversations by embedding each one within a thread belonging to a card. Each thread then has its own list of participants, so that everyone knows where their feedback is needed.

Signal important conversations by modifying a card's state

Conversation threads come in three flavours: reviews to ask for feedback, block a card to tell others you can’t progress without further input, and simple comment threads for in between communication.

Always know who's involved

Add participants by mentioning them. All particpants will receive a persistent notification that disappears after replying or actively dismissing it. Participants can opt out if they feel they don’t have anything else to contribute.

Resolve and move on

Resolve conversations to let everyone know that you arrived at a conclusion. This will greatly help your team stay focused on threads that have not been resolved yet.

Notifications

A unique system

Our notifications are actually not inspired by other apps - but by games such as Civilization 5 and Endless Legend. This implies that we’re aiming for a system similar to inbox zero.

Keep what's important, dismiss the rest

Every notification will stay visible until you decide to act on them. This way you’re much less likely to accidentally drop important information. Once you’re done, you dismiss it with a click.

Context matters

We keep notifications meaningful to you and send them only for changes that affect your cards or decks that you’re subscribed to.

For cards and conversations

We don’t just use notifications for card changes but also to help you keep track of conversations. You will always be notified of conversations that require your input.
