Show HN: We built Triage, an iOS app that unites all your dev tools (triaged.co)

Hey, this looks like something which could be really useful. I would suggest putting labels or hover text over the icons for the services you're supporting though. I can only actually recognise 5 or 6 of them
Joe,

Good call, we need to get that in asap. Here's a quick list if you're interested:

Google Analytics, Stripe, Github, Sentry, Airbrake, Braintree, AppFigures, HockeyApp, Kiln, Beanstalk, Crashlytics, NewRelic, Heroku

(We mainly started with services we use, we'll be adding more rapidly)

Links to those services would be great as well.
Bitbucket would be great too!
It would be nice if it actually did unite all my dev tools. Some things that are preventing me from using it:

* For some definition of something, I am a member of between 3 and 5 GitHub organizations, Triage requires me to pick one.

* I actually track errors with a custom thing, there doesn't seem to be an API, an email box, or some way to rope it in to Triage

* TestFlight is a notable omission on the mobile side.

* Logging products are a notable omission (splunk/logentries/papertrail/loggly/etc.)

* Issue trackers are a notable omission (Trello, JIRA, FogBugz, Lighthouse, etc.)

The result of this list is unfortunately, no dev tool I use actually integrates in a way that makes the product useful for me.

Drew,

Thanks for the feedback.

Multiple organization support is coming asap.

Re, the services that are missing, we're adding new services every week, most of these are on our list. For the logging products, what data would you like to see?

An API is also on it's way, though we want to take our time with it and make sure it's done correctly.

Thanks!

Nice response. I would probably be a shithead to people and be like "we just announced it, we can't have 100% of anything you ever imagined in there at launch". I'll have to remind myself to get a PR person when I launch a product...
So far it looks great, I think you did a great job of picking the right services to integrate with. Really clean UI, and the big "email me directions" button is a great way to help people figure out somewhat complex integration.

I'm working on a few projects right now that are part of different orgs on Github, hosted in separate accounts on Heroku, have different analytics accounts on New Relic, etc.

So far it doesn't look like you can add multiple GitHub orgs, do you guys have plans to let users add multiple projects or accounts? Or can you already and I'm missing something?

Bsirkia,

Thanks!

You can't add multiple Github orgs quite yet. It's on our list, and we'll add a vote for prioritizing it.

Awesome, having one place for all the app services I use for all the apps I'm working on would make this exponentially more useful for me, good luck!
Started the signup, then stopped, why do you need write access to my github, why is read only on everything not enough for you?
We wish we didn't need write access :) It's a limitation of Github's oAuth permissions. We've got a better integration planned, but it's not quite live.
FYI, you may have a name conflict. I actually thought this was about the other app.

Ditto. I can't imagine they didn't discover this during the submission process -- seems like a strange decision to go ahead with it..
There's also the iTriage app - http://itriagehealth.com
A few of us on a team started using Triage. We included our work GitHub and someone added a private Stripe account... then we found out that all of the accounts are accessible by everyone sharing the same work e-mail suffix.

Can we unlink accounts now? We've revoked the API keys for the services that we didn't want to share, but they still show up.

Sure, email us at team at triaged.co and we'll sort it out.
This just shows a blank, light grey page. I assume it should do more than that.

EDIT: It loaded, after more than 10 seconds. The HTML loaded in less than a second, as did the images, but your 500 kilobytes of JavaScript (what? why?) took 10 seconds to download. And the page was blank until everything had loaded.

Thanks,

May have been our server sputtering a bit. JS is just rails, bootstrap and a few others, will need to look into size.

Google Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m on Windows 7 works fine. Are you running any script or ad blockers?
Hey Waterlion,

Yes it should. Browser/Device?

Chrome 31.0.1650.63 on a not-slow connection, no extensions. See my edit, the JS file took a long time to load.

After a few cache-resets and refreshes, it reduces to 5 seconds. It might have been a cold CloudFront cache but still. I'm no front-end expert, but I'm not sure you need all those functions just to show a splash page and validate a form.

Looks interesting.

Does my device store keep the service credentials, or do your servers handle all the third party communication?

Does every service you integrate with provide a suitably restricted oauth token, or are we trusting you with access to our most important iOS dev tools?

Thanks,

Our servers handle the 3rd party communication. We use read only tokens (or manual web hook integration) wherever possible, which today is everything but Github.

Github's oAuth permissions requires full write privileges to add a webhook. Hopefully that changes, but we're also adding manual integration shortly, for those that don't want to give oAuth access.

Hey All,

Another co-founder of Triage here. We wanted one app that housed all our work alerts and activity. Email/HipChat grew frustrating and weren't quite working for us, so we built Triage.

Would love to hear what you think.

Thanks!

Please give us either one of these:

* An Android app

* A mobile web app

* Some more screenshots... just so we can see what we're losing out on for not having an iOS device.

Android + Web coming as soon as possible :)

We're working on a new landing page, that will showcase more, but for now you can see some screenshots here, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/triage-everything-thats-happ...

If you look at the Press page, you can see some screenshots of the app. If you read the FAQ, it says there is an Android app and web app coming soon.
Bitbucket would be a nice addition.
phabricator support would be awesome.
First time I've seen a 'text me a link' signup process, that's really nice for something people probably meet via their desktop first. Anyone else doing this? Any data on how this affects conversions?
I've seen it a few times - and I don't like it. I'd be interested to see how many people use it because I'm sure many would be wary of handing over their personal phone number.
FWIW, we send your phone number directly to Twilio, and don't store it.
Cool, thanks for clarifying.
One of the reasons I think the Google Play store does it right. I can install apps to my phone from the Play Store via the web browser. I usually follow a link down from an article, or home page, etc, and then press "install". If I have more than one android device, I can even choose which device it is installed to. My phone then notifies me when the app has completed installation.
This was also a common way that apps got installed on Blackberry back in the day. (Before the existence of "App Stores")
Cool idea, if you're wanting to unite all of my dev/monitoring tools, you'll need to include TeamCity and Pingdom
Thanks, We'll add these to the list :)
Is it 500kb of js to validate a phone number? Even pages without the input load the file
Triage is an odd name for this.
Neat idea. Can you elaborate on what data is provided from Braintree?
Yeah,

Right now, we only get subscription info (New Active Sub, Sub Canceled, Sub Charged Unsuccessfully) and when payment is disbursed.

For what it's worth, I'd be interested in revenue (next 30 days), current number of subscribers, new subscribers (last 30 days) and cancellations (last 30 days).
Thanks for the suggestion! Once we get a tighter integration, those will be top of our list.
