Checklists in Space are our vision of a lightweight tool for top-down planning. You can use them to plan a milestone, a version, a feature, or an event such as a team gathering. Whatever you can brainstorm and outline for your project, you can plan thanks to our hierarchical checklists. In this post, we would like to give you a quick overview of Project Checklists. Every project contains a Checklists section. And any project team member can create checklists that are visible to everyone who can see the project. Let's see what you can do with a checklist.

Space Packages continue evolving! In addition to creating Maven repositories and container registries, now you can create your own NuGet feeds. If you're interested, let's take a closer look. (more…)

Let's continue our series of blog posts dedicated to Space Packages. The previous post was about working with Maven repositories. In this one, let's play with container registries! What are they for? The most obvious example is a Docker registry, but in addition to Docker images, container registries support OCI images and Helm charts. The structure of the post will be quite the same: we'll show you how to create a container registry in Space, get authenticated in it, and push Docker images. (more…)

Thanks for joining us in the first Space webinar! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!  For those of you who missed it, here is the recording of our live session:  https://youtu.be/ndOxvFcssWo Below is a summary of the webinar Q&A session with questions grouped by topic.  Thank you for being so active – we received 100+ questions, and most of them (80) were handled during the webinar. We’ll be contacting authors directly to address the unanswered questions that didn’t make it into this post. Don’t worry, all your questions will be answered.  (more…)

Webinar Agenda In many organizations, there is a split between the tools everyone in the company use and those used by creative teams such as marketing, sales, HR, designers, and software developers. This bridge is usually crossed with webhooks and custom integrations that can be fragile, not to mention a potential security and maintenance nightmare for your IT teams. What if there was a single, integrated platform, that meets the needs of all sides? In this session, we'll explore Space, as a single platform that combines chats, teams, blogs, articles, meetings, version control, code

We have so much to keep up with on a daily basis. We communicate with teammates, read blog posts, perform code reviews, and keep a lot of other important work items and activities in our heads. When it comes to personal productivity and task management, sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything. It can be overwhelming and, frankly speaking, sometimes the best way to get something done is to wait for a better time to do it. In these cases, the best way to record your ideas, organize your thoughts, and accomplish your tasks is to put them down and add them to your to-do list. We are hap

Today, we want to introduce you to the concept of turn-based code reviews in Space! The idea behind turn-based code reviews is to make the process of reviewing code as clear as possible for the author of the code, and the reviewers. When the Space team was looking at the typical code review process, we found two issues that could be improved: Who should take action? It's not always clear whether the ball is in the court of the author or that of one of the reviewers. It is not uncommon for a reviewer to write: "Could you please explain the meaning of this part?", and then delete th

In one of our previous blog posts, we've made an introduction to Space Packages. Now, it's time to try them in action! Let's start with Maven repositories: we'll take a look at how to create a Maven repo, log into it, and then publish the artifacts of a Gradle or Maven project. Create a repository The steps needed to do this are pretty obvious, but let’s cover them just to be sure. Open the Packages page in Space. To create a repo, click New repository and then specify its type (Maven Repository in our case), name, and description. After you create the repository, its URL will be s

Much like the developer tools we build at JetBrains, Space aims at increasing productivity for information workers. Various concepts and tools are offered as an integrated team environment. In this blog post, we'll zoom in on a powerful tool to search, navigate, and create things in Space: Go to Anything. With Go to Anything, we get context-aware search to find people, locations, teams, projects, repositories, code, and more. Once found, we can immediately navigate to one of the results. Where can we find Go to Anything? In the sidebar, we can click the search icon to start working with G

Establishing a transparent process that helps team members meet their goals on a day-to-day basis is key to the success of any team. One side of this process is communication and planning. To plan, a team needs to track its members’ availability — you need to know when you and your teammates are all free to schedule an activity such as a meeting, a brainstorming call, and so on. The same principle applies on the company level: tracking and managing employees’ availability is vital for the company’s well-being. (more…)

Teams using Git repositories in Space can setup rules to limit what contributors can do, or to enforce certain standards. Branch restrictions let us restrict who can create and delete branches, and who can (force) push to a branch. With push restrictions, we can verify committers, limit file size and file types. Let's look at a few examples! (more…)

Our vision for Space is to make an efficient collaborative environment for teams. We believe that for an integrated solution to be effective, it should provide the optimal level of information needed for each team member to perform their role, instead of becoming a source of excessive noise, distraction, or informational overload. That’s why we put our focus on personalizing every bit of information inside Space. Out of the most visible parts of the interface, dashboards are a prime candidate for personalization. A dashboard gives an instant overview of the current state of affairs for a te
