A Look at Integrations Coming to new.space
Let's take a peak at how they work
Previously, we teased some of the integrations for new.space. Today, I'd like to take you all through how these integrations work and showcase how teams can accomplish more with these tools + new.space. Be sure look closely, as there are also some hidden details about some stuff that we are working on alongside these.
The Integration Center
The initial step to getting started with integrations in new.space is the upcoming integrations center. This is a first look at how it functions, but expect more services and apps to exist here in the future to connect your workflow to new.space.
The Integrations
If you click on any of the integration here, you'll see a little preview explaining what exactly the integration looks like. From there, you can connect and authenticate the service with new.space. One pain-point our team found when working with Figma + new.space was that sharing artboards did not generate particularly good thumbnails. For most projects, we would only get an overview of the document, rather than the specifically shared artboard which made it difficult to get good feedback and share ideas.
With this integration, you can now see the item directly in full resolution. There are more layers to this integration that we are working on, like comments from Figma surfacing in new.space—we’ll talk more about that closer to launch..
As for Github, we similarly felt like there was so little info one could gain from just linking a pull request in a Space. We set out then to design and build a grid-view card that would give a nice overview of the PR, and also created a detail view layout for all the info that one could view in new.space. It looks great.
What’s next?
We are putting the final touches on these integrations and building a few _much requested_ **features** that will roll out [soon](https://new.space). I'll leave it there, if you have any questions about how these integrations will work, ideas on what you would like to see next, or just want to say 'hullo', do so in the comments.
Till next time, happy sharing
