CodeStream Master Plan: addressing the messaging gap for developers with markers (opens in new tab)

Hi Peter love what you're doing. Really interested to see where this ends up in a few years.

PS. +1 for Webstorm support

Sounds like a cool concept.

Personally, it's been my (cynical) conclusion that a lot of times the bad-communication around code (e.g. lack of documentation/comments, resistance to PR feedback, closed architecture discussions), when it happens, can be attributed to motivations rather than lack of means.

But perhaps tooling provides more visibility around that and reduces the barrier for edge-cases.

What if I use a text editor and not an IDE?

Hi, thanks for building CodeStream, I'm working on a universal celebration platform (LinKedIn for celebration), but is a social value network not a social media network. Basically we don't see end user as a by product so is a different business_logic_$, the project is in stealth mode for now but it will be released shortly, probably 1Q_2019. Long story short we plan to use CodeStream and contribute to CodeStream mission, thanks.

We are in planning stages for a new project, with everyone remote, this looks like a great way to keep the project moving forward and help with code review. Any ETA on VS Code availability?

Hi Peter,

You mentioned this "...the ability to talk about any block of code, on any branch, in any state..." Re: "any state." On our team, we'd love the ability to comment on uncommitted changes and share with the team, as it would prevent us from requiring short-lived feature branches. Is that ability available now?

It would be awesome if I could self-host CodeStream in our own network. Any plans for that?

I love what you're doing Peter. Which code editors are you planning to support next?

Hi, I’m Peter the CEO of CodeStream. I’ve been an internet entrepreneur for the last 23 years and I am very fortunate to have worked with the same management team during that time, with two eight-figure and one nine-figure exits under our belts. Commissioner.COM (now CBSSports.com) was the first to bring fantasy sports online. Multiply introduced the first social network news feed. And Glip, which launched the same month as Slack with a very similar product, is now the app serving RingCentral’s nearly three million paying customers. These three companies all had something in common, which is enabling group conversation and collaboration at scale.

Understanding code is one of the hardest problems in software development. At CodeStream, we think we have a novel approach to address this by first making it easier for developers to talk about code, and then capturing those code-based conversations and homing them where they belong -- with the code.

How we deliver the first phase of this functionality, and why we think it’s important, is outlined in the link above.
