This sounds really exciting, especially thinking about how I can integrate my side project with Hall! Of all the applicants chosen, does the $120K go to each applicant, or is it spread across all the applicants? Or is there only going to be a single applicant chosen?
Thanks for asking... The $120k will be awarded based upon a balance between the number of submissions and the overall potential user impact per idea.
So is the total pool of money equal to $120K, or is it possible that more would be given away depending on the submissions?
The total is $120k. If we wanted more we'd have to talk to our board :)
Also, how do you quantify "overall potential user impact per idea"?
Do you have to work for a respective company for the particular integration?
You do not! If your idea has the potential for high impact across a large # of users we would be excited to work with you. Be sure to apply. thx
Are you targeting a specific group? College students or anything like that?
All 600M Knowledge workers. People in marketing, sales, engineering, etc...
No specific group. Its open to any third party service!
What depth do the integrations have access to? It seems reasonable to put data into Hall, but it is possible to take data out? Eg, selecting text and attaching it to a task in Asana?
No restrictions. What would make your life amazing? Tell us! Lets build something amazing
Mainly deeper integration between chat and Asana. I feel like chat has a low signal/noise ratio while task managers have a higher signal/noise ratio. I feel like this makes chat a pretty natural and great place to chat but a harder place to get structure from. I would love to be able to chat and then have if a task is referenced, have the equivalent of `grep --before-context=10 --after-context=30` automatically attached to the task. Also being able to selected text in the chat window have it converted to an attachment on a task or comments on a task would be awesome.
Love it! Please apply!!!
Thanks to Vincent Garreau for particle.js and helping spruce up our Developer Integration Fund page!
Looks cool! Any tips on what makes for a useful/compelling integration?
An amazing integration is one where you couldn't imagine your life without it :)
