@Monique had the good idea recently (or perhaps not that recently… time is flying!) to have a dedicated space for those of us working on tools and workflows related to the management of our repair groups.
I’ve been meaning to set that up ever since, and have only just gotten around to it So here it is.
Do let me know if you think it’s in the wrong place, or the category description should be slightly different. I’m happy to iterate and see where it goes, just wanted to kick it off as there’s a few good topics in this area already. I’ll move those in.
I’ll copy here what I’ve put in the category description:
A place to discuss tools and workflows that you use for your repair group,
This might include:
workflows you use to manage your repair group, including 3rd party apps and services you use
apps and scripts that you are building yourself to manage your repair group
ways in which you are integrating (or would like to integrate) those tools with Restarters via the API
These discussions might lean slightly on the tech-y side, but are of course open to everyone.
So I’m thinking of for example the discussions where people have shared how they’ve set up Eventbrite or Tito to manage pre-bookings, or they’ve built an event management system tailored to their group using Airtable, or their own code, etc. Or perhaps how a group uses a spreadsheet to record their repair data. Or how they manage their social media postings.
I think it’s useful to pool all this knowledge, learn about pros and cons of different approaches, etc. I’m also interested in discussing how we can help tie the use of services like Tito, Eventbrite in to Restarters, where/if useful.
So here it is.
