One of our original aims of opening up a RESTful API for our bug tracking product fixx, was to encourage a healthy eco-system of third-party developers who can enhance and add to the functionality fixx brings and provide open integration points to third-party apps.
It has been great to see the overwhelming response from third-party developers who have spent their time and effort to enhance the fixx eco-system and we thought it would be the perfect time to thank everyone who has been working with the fixx API, providing feedback/criticism (which we always listen to and take on board), and generally writing some awesome add-ons. The following are just a few of them that we hope will be useful for those currently using fixx or considering using fixx in the future.
IDE Integration for Visual Studio and Eclipse
One of our customers, Martijn Laarman, has done a stellar job delivering a first version of Visual Studio Add-On for fixx. The project is pre-beta and is looking for people to try out the system and help him iron out bugs. There is also a project underway to bring IDE goodness to fixx in Eclipse.
Instant screenshots with Freshlog
Freshlog is a pretty nifty screen capture tool for the Mac that I personally use. It integrates with fixx and many other bug tracking tools, allowing you to capture and submit screenshots as new issues or comments to existing issues. It comes at an affordable price of $14.95 which is a bargain considering the plethora of tools and speed of updates it provides.
Source Control and more with XP-Dev.com
XP-Dev.com offers Enterprise Subversion hosting and has leveraged Subversion post-commit hooks to update fixx issues with commit messages. Even if you host your own Subversion repo, you can use a Ruby post-commit hook that allows you to do the same. Mercurial and Git hooks are also available.
These are just a few of the Add-Ons and integrations that third party developers and some of our customers have been working on. You can always find a more comprehensive list on our Add-Ons for fixx page and we would love to hear from you if you have been working on an add-on and would like it to be featured.
