Introducing our Beta Item Search API with Facets

Published by on February 9, 2015.

One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we get from customers both large and small is that they wish they could query for items across products.

So much so that we militantly remove anything that stands in our way of shipping, including process. “You can’t ship process.” – Ethan Kaplan, VP of Product at Live Nation Our approach, which we call Non-Blocking Development, isn’t so much a methodology as it is a pragmatic approach […]

Published by on January 29, 2013.

When I first started programming in the late 1990s my toolset was comparable to that of a manufacturer a hundred years ago; we were forced in those early days of the web to build everything ourselves. Need web framework? PHPNuke was the best thing going. Need a server? Build them yourself or buy some. Need […]

Pull Request Integration

Starting today, you can now reference and close tickets from within your GitHub pull requests. To make it work, you will need to link your Github account with Sprint.ly and mention an item using our SCM command syntax. We’ll update the ticket with a link back to the relevant pull request.

Our continued mantra is that Sprint.ly must fit into your workflow, rather than interrupt it. In our continued quest to keep workflows […]
