      I mean that is basically Gitlab...

      Users can submit bugs or feature requests and vote on all of the issues for priority.

      The difference is that, unlike me, the average user won't set up a separate account on a developer site just to give feedback. GitLab is very developer-centric and focuses on the needs of developers. I think you need a simpler-to-use bug tool that focuses more on the needs of end-users. I've used UserVoice on websites that I've helped set up. It's simple and easy. It also doesn't require the user to create a separate account if they don't want to. You really need to start to differentiate between technical users / developers and non-technical end-users. As your userbase grows the majority are going to be non-technical. You can't expect them to be able to use developer tools.

      I didn't mean so much the tool, moving from GitLab would be a major effort and we'd lose links with GitLab, but as @onecrazychief has stated above, I think the benefit of dealing with issues on our own site is such that non-technical users can get involved without having to step out of their comfort zone, and furthermore we can integrate support communication with the end user by sending notifications. There may be technical considerations but I feel its a good point.

      There is a support desk built into GitLab that we do not utilise (I've not seen, only heard about it)

      Also the ability to stake tokens on a bug could be very interesting.

    Is there a way to build our own gitlab plugin which essentially pulls in all our gitlab issues and allows people to vote and rank them?

    Uservoice looks cool, but it fragments our process. Seems like a simple page on minds which listed all the issues and updated live according to votes might be easier.

  • Jim Toth
    Jim Toth :milky_way: @jim-toth · 2 months ago

    @ottman that's something I've had in the back of my mind as well for a number of reasons:

    1. Integrates with the Minds ecosystem (votes, tokens)
    2. Allows Minds to have a tailored bounty program rather than dealing with what's available
    3. Bountysource's website's performance is highly questionable (multiple login issues, extremely slow to respond, at bountysource's mercy for updates/features)

    I'm definitely interested in contributing to this!

  • Ben Hayward
    Ben Hayward @benhayward.ben · 2 months ago

    Gitlabs API is pretty extensive, so it's absolutely possible @ottman.

    It would also be useful to also consider the benefits to user support if we have integration like that, it opens the door to things like issue tracking with notifications etc.

    I just updated the description here a bit and extended out the end date. Connecting gitlab with minds is the best move long term. It involves the community in voting and just streamlines communication on submitted issues. It's going to take a serious planning session as a massive expansion of https://www.minds.com/issues/report which sends issues to gitlab now from minds.

    @markeharding if we could get that gitcoin stuff up just so we can close this epic that'd be great when you get a chance.
