While Priestley Evan said launches its greatest achievement photo fax for TechCrunch in 2009, many members of the community launch a Phabricator – a set of open-source energy developer that Priestley and other built while inside Facebook and that he intends to take as a hobby while he was looking for something else to do after leaving the social network earlier this year. Instead, coding tool workflow took off.
Phabricator seems to have gotten some pick up among small startups (more than 500 engineers using it daily), mainly because of its speed, usefulness and simple Facebook reminds interface developed by Priestley. It doesn't hurt that his copy, also written by Priestley, is a sort of snarky and hilarious.
I mean, I'm not a coder, but even I think that's kind of cool Phabricator, mostly from creative writing as ' Facebook engineers rave about Phabricator, calling him with glowing terms as "good" and "mandatory" ' on the introduction page, the fact that you can close the task "out of spite" and small details like the word "submit" button was switched out in favor of "clowncopterize." Love.
Priestley tells me that startups as Asana, Quora, MemSQL, Mixtent and SnapGuide are currently using the product as part of their development process, involving Facebook more and more of his code on Phabricator. SnapGuide co-founder Steve Krulewitz actually registered the domain name Clowncopterize.com in tribute to the service (just click on it, you won't regret it).
Among his most beloved user features are Maniphest, the bug tracker/task management, tracker and source code browser. The entire suite also includes a differential code review tool that allows developers to easily provide feedback to each other through a command line tool called arc when they check in code using Git or subversion, Phriction wiki tool that brings together more and more with Maniphest and many other products, all designed and described in the Phabricator his unique voice.
When asked, is there any other product out there as Phabricator (lame question I know, but it's my job), Priestley said, "it's kind of difficult because of how many other things. It simply brings together a wide range of tools and integrates their tightly-as a rule, you need to install many different pieces of software to get the same features and different parts of the need not to talk to each other easily and well. "
Priestley said that future plans for Phabricator in "pretty furry" and focuses on the construction of the new features and fixing things. "We'll see where it goes from there," he mused, going to say that he is considering some sort of things from the point of view of the SaaS monetization potential. I don't know if this is a joke.
