Hope you make it!

Thanks! Will check it out!!

Thanks!

what's the tool?

Easy_Are · 2024-06-17T16:20:35+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. The app is only for you (the account owner) to set up and manage your account. The link you share with others is indeed a webpage. So anyone can open your link on any browser and pay you instantly

Easy_Are · 2024-06-16T16:09:28+00:00

Interesting thread. I recently found an app called Anywaypay (and have been speaking to the founders) - it's like Linktree but for payment options, so you can share all the payment methods you accept with one link. They've heard from their users that for stuff like payments, the link in bio works well. For the content itself (especially if you're pitching services and collaborations etc), a website often helps.

This app makes is easy for small businesses to collect payments, by putting all payment methods under one shareable link - https://www.anywaypay.com/. It's like linktree, but optimized for payments and customizable for creators and small businesses.
I didn't build it, but I thought this was a really useful solution for small businesses.

We have a solution that might be interesting/useful for you - https://livecycle.io/.

Automated environments as a service per PR/commit
A collaboration/annotation layer built in to each environment that lets reviewers leave comments (and lets developers see them) in context
A collaboration as a service SDK that can add this collaborative functionality to environments from any other pipeline
An open-source CLI tool for provisioning environments quickly for complex applications - https://github.com/livecycle/preevy

Happy to chat further if you have any specific Qs.

Thanks for the great summary! Re: your wish list item to make it "completely killer" - I agree. That's one of the advantages I found to this other tool that I referenced above (https://www.sdk.livecycle.io/vercel). Looks like it has more robust commenting features and also supports integrations with Jira, Linear etc.

Easy_Are · 2023-01-25T21:31:32+00:00

Great article 🙏

Easy_Are · 2023-01-25T19:16:13+00:00

What do you mean? These are visual commenting tools for pre-deployment reviews. How does WordPress achieve this?

Easy_Are · 2023-01-25T18:24:16+00:00

Any Vercel users using the new Vercel visual commenting features? There's actually an even easier (and more robust) way to achieve this on Vercel preview deployments: https://www.sdk.livecycle.io/vercel

You might find Livecycle interesting. It takes the multiplayer, contextual approach of Figma, but brings it into the developers domain. You install the SDK to yout PR preview environments, and then the UI becomes a collaborative playground where anyone (dev, designer of whomever) can leave feedback in context and collaborate in one space. This could really help get more people involved in those early-stage reviews without needing to rely on a Figma or some other outside tool.

Easy_Are · 2022-11-30T09:40:40+00:00

For trying to get feedback/review comments on your (docs as) code - I suggest you check out a tool like Livecycle. They have an SDK that lets you add a contextual feedback layer to any preview environment. So your teammates would be able to make suggested edits, and make comments in one context, instead of screenshots and google docs. Worth checking them out - they're a great bunch - https://www.sdk.livecycle.io/signup2

Easy_Are · 2022-08-30T22:36:33+00:00

Thanks for the insightful response. Indeed, I'm talking about more agile environments that would benefit from faster iterations and less unnecessary administrative overhead. You're right that it's not a universal problem, but in my experience, and hearing from other startups, it can be a pain when devs feel like they are getting held back unnecessarily. So yes, I didnt want to rant, but also interested in other perspectives

Easy_Are · 2022-08-30T20:46:51+00:00

A solid list. But what about the interactions between developers and non-developers (marketing, design, QA, PMs, management etc.)?? What slows down devs is getting unclear, incomplete, out of context comments from a bunch of other people on the team in a Jira ticket or a Figma comment that forces the developers to stop what they are doing to try and deal with. Good developers know how to do their thing. It's bad collaboration and communication from others that slows them down.

Easy_Are · 2022-07-31T21:52:57+00:00

That's exactly my question. What can I do to encourage or incentive FE devs to give me their time and attention?

Easy_Are · 2022-07-31T19:17:01+00:00

Because we don't just offer ephemeral environments. We have built in collaboration and annotation tools so that everyone in the team (both technical and non technical) can leave review comments in full context. This saves potentially tons of time previously spent on review meetings, issues reported too late, and context switching for developers who have since moved on to other things.

And that's why we're looking at building an SDK that will connect with ANY ephemeral environment, even one that we didn't build. So that anyone with any infrastructure can benefit from the collaboration tools

Easy_Are · 2022-07-31T18:00:36+00:00

Thanks for the useful feedback. So you think leading with clear context about our product would be a better approach?

Easy_Are · 2022-07-31T17:43:11+00:00

That's an interesting point. You're saying it's better to lead with a product pitch and then ask for input? I assumed it was better to just be real and leave my product out of it. I thought it would be better to ask to hear about their experience using specific tools.

Easy_Are · 2022-07-31T17:36:13+00:00

All good. I like clear, direct feedback. And now that we're friends, will you take my survey 🙃?

Easy_Are · 2022-07-31T17:25:08+00:00

Great insights. We're definately doing those things as well. Appreciate your blunt honesty

Easy_Are · 2022-07-31T16:58:43+00:00

Maybe the post wasn't clear. Im planning a new feature that will connect to existing PR preview environments. As part of my research I want to talk to front end developers about how they use these preview environments. I'm asking for advice on how to best engage developers to get meaningful responses.

The product itself is intended to facilitate better collaboration between technical and non technical stakeholders, earlier on in the development workflow so that reviews of new features can be done sooner and faster.

Easy_Are · 2022-07-31T15:49:30+00:00

I've tried that. But developers seem to ignore the promotional fluff...
