There's been a number of questions of what's coming from Mattermost, and how we design things. I wanted to share some raw, unpolished work we have of what's coming up.
It's a feature called "App Center" that we're working on to support 3rd party applications.
It's just a Google Doc of our early design that we're sharing on Hacker News to get feedback: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s6vrticxgz9PsxePQ-dFrsKp...
Would you find this interface interesting for building 3rd party apps?
What do you like about the design?
What do you wish we changed?
There's a couple 1st party Apps we'd start with, like an Admin Console and a Custom Web App. We're thinking there could be a marketplace for 3rd party workflow apps.
Example: create an "Expense Report" app where a user can upload the photo of a receipt from lunch from their phone and type "#expense #meals" and have a 3rd party app create a labeled expense report that would be viewable in App Center.
Would love to hear thoughts from the community. This is an early idea, it's just a Google Doc right now. Your input would help shape it.
