About DoneDone
Small, customer-requested fixes all summer — then the first automation engine.
DoneDone ships in a tight loop with users: reorderable checklist items, tags in CSV exports, collapsible Kanban columns, more board sort fields, and activity feeds that hide status noise by default. Several entries name the customer request that prompted them. On August 7 the pattern broke with Workflow Automations, the first release in this window that adds behavior rather than tidying existing behavior.
