Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

What is it?

The purpose of Input is to collect actionable feedback from our user base across each channel of our software development process. The application collects feedback and offers a set of analysis methods for looking at the resulting data.

Project site.

This is a status post about Input.

Preface

Since the last status report, we did a year-in-review and probably some other emails, so I figured I'd hold off on a status report until mid-January. I missed that by a couple of weeks.

Development

High-level summary:

  1. Lots of fixes and improvements to documentation, git hooks, test infrastructure and setting up development environments

  2. Heartbeat v2

  3. Browser data capture

  4. Upgraded libraries in preparation for upgrading to Django 1.7

  5. Scaffolding for the new Thank You page

  6. Switched from in-house Jenkins to Travis-CI
