Mattermost team here,

There's been a number of questions of what's coming from Mattermost, and how we design things. I wanted to share some raw, unpolished work we have of what's coming up.

It's a feature called "App Center" that we're working on to support 3rd party applications.

It's just a Google Doc of our early design that we're sharing on Hacker News to get feedback: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s6vrticxgz9PsxePQ-dFrsKp...

Would you find this interface interesting for building 3rd party apps?

What do you like about the design?

What do you wish we changed?

There's a couple 1st party Apps we'd start with, like an Admin Console and a Custom Web App. We're thinking there could be a marketplace for 3rd party workflow apps.

Example: create an "Expense Report" app where a user can upload the photo of a receipt from lunch from their phone and type "#expense #meals" and have a 3rd party app create a labeled expense report that would be viewable in App Center.

Would love to hear thoughts from the community. This is an early idea, it's just a Google Doc right now. Your input would help shape it.



this is how you earn revenue as an OSS platform company (once you get it in the hands of everyone aka build a network)
