What is DoneDone?
DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.
DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.
What is Thread?
Thread takes the service-level clock off the PSA and runs it itself
Thread spent the summer on Voice: outbound calling went live in June, then expanded to supported international workspaces, picked up per-agent consent-message speed and volume controls, and learned to hold company context when a caller can't be identified. Around it sat inbox and notification work — Teams emoji reactions routed into the Inbox, ticket notification control in Teams and Slack, refreshed navigation. The newest release moves somewhere else entirely: XLAs replace the SLA model with per-source response and resolution targets, risk-coloured timers in the Inbox, business hours built into the clock, and flows that alert Slack or Teams before a threshold is crossed.

DoneDone
6.3SUPPORT
DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.
◆ Current state
DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.
◆ Where it's heading
DoneDone is building toward a more configurable platform, moving away from opinionated simplicity toward flexible data models and process automation. Custom fields and workflow automations together form the foundation of a structured work management tool that teams can mold to their own processes. The direction is clear: make DoneDone adaptable enough to compete with more complex tools without requiring that complexity upfront.
◆ Prediction
Custom fields will likely expand with automation triggers (e.g., automate based on field value, not just status), and the email-to-task intake may gain routing rules or field-mapping capabilities to make incoming requests more organized from the start.
Thread

Thread takes the service-level clock off the PSA and runs it itself
◆ Current state
Thread spent the summer on Voice: outbound calling went live in June, then expanded to supported international workspaces, picked up per-agent consent-message speed and volume controls, and learned to hold company context when a caller can't be identified. Around it sat inbox and notification work — Teams emoji reactions routed into the Inbox, ticket notification control in Teams and Slack, refreshed navigation. The newest release moves somewhere else entirely: XLAs replace the SLA model with per-source response and resolution targets, risk-coloured timers in the Inbox, business hours built into the clock, and flows that alert Slack or Teams before a threshold is crossed.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things change here. Thread reframes the service-level contract from after-the-fact compliance into a live risk signal, with per-source targets conceding that a Slack request and a phone call at the same priority are not the same promise. The more consequential detail is that it is configured entirely in Thread's own admin panel with no PSA-side setup — the product has been a modern front end on someone else's system of record, and pulling the service-level definition in-house moves a core primitive across that line. The Voice arc, meanwhile, has settled into refinement rather than expansion.
◆ Prediction
Expect reporting to follow the timers, since attainment dashboards and per-source breakdowns are the obvious use of data the product has only just begun collecting. The entry describes thresholds and alerting but says nothing about what happens after a breach, so whether XLAs go on to drive escalation or routing cannot be read from it.
