That's a smart thing we should add. Any other feedback? If you'd prefer to share privately: mike@zapier.com

When editing an existing zap (in Firefox anyway), and if there is a filter selected, and if it has a long name, then I can't see the full filter's name. (Sorry, I'm not logged in right now, so I can't see the UI's exact wording).

For example, if the source trigger is Sendowl. Add a filter to the zap, like product name. The name of the filter is longer than the drop-down list. When coming back to edit the zap, I can't see what trigger is selected.

After editing a zap in Firefox, and I click on the save button at the bottom of the page, something nothing happens. It's like it only gets focus with my first click. So I have to click a second time for the save button to go and save the zap.

Sorry for this type of report that's probably difficult to reproduce.

If I create a zap in a folder, I'd normally expect to be brought back to that folder, not to see the home screen again where folders are listed. I want to be able to visually see my new zap listed.

have you evaluated RQ vs Celery. There have been many, many posts (even here on HN) about how managing Celery has been very painful.

what have been your experiences/protips ? And what's your opinion on something like RQ

We haven't evaluated RQ specifically, since RabbitMQ is a core part of our infrastructure and we're really happy with it. We have experienced the pain of managing Celery, and considered alternatives a few times though! A post about our experiences there is on the list to write! :)

Ahh... For being on Rabbitmq, I suppose there are few other options. Without going into a blog post, why not Redis? Other than fairly sophisticated message routing... Any other reason?
