Web app ​

The web app at app-standcast.usefachada.dev shows your organization in two screens: Settings and Today. Sign in with GitHub. The app lists the organizations where Standcast is installed and you are a member.

The app is in Portuguese and English, with a light and a dark theme.

Settings ​

Settings shows everything Standcast knows about the organization:

  • the GitHub App installation;
  • the Slack and Linear connections, with a button to connect or reconnect them (admins only);
  • the state of standcast.yml: valid, invalid with its errors, or missing, with a link to create it from a template;
  • each team, with its reminder and digest times, its channel and any GitHub team or Slack channel Standcast cannot find;
  • the latest failed deliveries, so you can see when a digest, a reminder or a routed blocker did not arrive.

The server-rendered setup page still works.

Today ​

Today shows one team on the current day, in the team's timezone. Pick the team in the sidebar. On a day that is not one of the team's workdays, Today shows the next workday.

  • Summary: how many people sent today's daily, open blockers, support requests and what shipped yesterday.
  • Needs you: open blockers and support requests. Each blocker shows how long it has been open, whether it came back on later dailies, who it was routed to and why, and, when the referenced pull request was merged on or after the day the blocker opened, a hint that it is probably resolved, with the merge date when it was not today.
  • Dailies: today's dailies, with a filter for who sent and who did not. View full daily opens the whole daily.
  • Shipped yesterday: pull requests and cards mentioned in yesterday's items.
  • Who sent today: the names, for today only.

A team member can open Today for their own team. Managers open the teams they manage. Only admins can open any team.

Resolve a blocker ​

Managers, admins and the person who wrote the blocker can mark it as resolved, and reopen it. A resolved blocker leaves the open list. If the person lists it again in the daily of a later day, it opens again. Resending the daily of the day it was resolved keeps it resolved.

Remind now ​

Managers and admins see Remind now next to a person who has not sent today's daily. It sends the same direct message as the scheduled reminder, at most once a day. It works only on the team's workday and before that team's digest is posted, even when the person is also in a team whose digest comes later.

What the app does not show ​

Standcast exists to unblock the team, not to watch people:

  • no per-person metric, rate, score or ranking;
  • no history of who did not send. Today shows who is missing today only, and there is no screen for past days;
  • a daily sent after the digest shows "after the digest" on that day's card only.
