Hi Chana, Figured I'd chime in here as well. My name is Matt, and I'm one of the cofounders of Dovetail - a new member management and community engagement application we're building specifically for coworking space managers. Dovetail is intended to help coworking space managers spend less time with data and more time with people, because that's what coworking is really all about - the people. So one of our app's core functions will be the ability to integrate with a variety of accounting, billing / invoicing, CRM, email marketing and scheduling applications that space managers use every day. So you'll input data once in Dovetail, and the changes get pushed to all of your other apps. We're also going to build in analytics to measure stuff like peak usage times, member churn rate, monthly sales reports, and other useful metrics (because data helps you make informed decisions about the current state of things at your space), and in app social tools like chat channels, forums and direct messaging that can be used by your coworkers daily to stay connected to each other and build community.
There's still LOTS of work to be done before we're ready to launch version one of the app, but we're really excited about the opportunity to service the global coworking community - as coworking is something that our team is passionate about. So right now, we've got a basic splash page up that gives some general descriptions of features and a screen shot (high fidelity mockup at this point) of one of the app screens. You can check it out at http://dovetail.io. We're going to be adding a blog and more in-depth explanations of features in the next couple of weeks. In terms of actual product development, we've worked through the interface design and solidified the feature set of our MVP. We've got high fidelity mockups of most of the core feature set done, and we've been coding the application for the past 2 weeks. We hope to be ready for beta testing by the end of August or first week of September. And we'd love to get as much feedback as possible during the beta test phase. After all, the whole idea is to make space management easier for you, so the more testers we get on board, the more feedback we can get, which will help us make informed decisions on where we need to improve the product before public release - and what the product roadmap looks like after. You can sign up to beta test the app on our website. And if you have any questions about the app, please feel free to post them here, or send an email to [email protected] Cheers!
