Shipfire Product · Team collaboration platform

Spacebar

From scattered project conversations to decisions and actions people can find again.

Project focus

  • Collaboration
  • Project context
  • Workflow

The product we set out to build.

Spacebar began with a collaboration problem: teams need to recover why a decision was made, even after messages and meetings move on. The product needed to keep that context useful.

We shaped the concept around project spaces. Discussion, decisions and actions stay connected, while each has a distinct role. The next milestone was a coherent workflow for turning conversation into owned work.

The constraints that shaped the work.

The boundaries that mattered

  1. Keep active work visible and notifications useful
  2. Preserve decisions after conversations move on
  3. Make ownership and next actions unambiguous
  4. Avoid duplicating a general-purpose chat application

The decisions behind the product.

Give the project a shared home

Discussion, references and actions live within the project. That context helps explain what the work concerns and why it exists.

Keep decisions beyond the conversation

We separated recorded conclusions from the messages that produced them. Decisions can be found and referenced after a discussion ends.

Carry the context into each action

Tasks connect to the decision, discussion or document behind them. The person responsible can understand the request with its original context in view.

Keep the reason close to the work.

  • Create a project space and invite collaborators
  • Share working context and references
  • Discuss and record a project decision
  • Turn decisions into owned actions
  • Review progress with the original context in view

Spacebar’s concept gives project conversations, recorded decisions and actions a connected structure. Teams have a defined route from discussion to owned work, with the original context retained. Testing comes next: can people recover that context, find their next task and identify the updates that need attention?
