"Our Activity feed was extremely slow, and it was just a mess to maintain. Now it’s entirely powered by Stream. A massive upgrade.”
“We were getting positive signs from Stream, and that’s really how we landed on choosing their product.”
"The company and people profiles on Crunchbase are constantly changing, Our users, especially salespeople, want to know when these changes go live in the companies or markets that they’re interested in. By partnering with Stream, we were able to integrate a customizable activity feed into our paid products that boosted engagement among our sales users.”
"I am very familiar with everything that goes into building chat, When I started ShiftFlow, I knew right away — for a small team, building chat in-house is almost never a good call."
"There was no shared picture. You couldn't always reach the right person at the right time, and messages were often missed or repeated."
"With Stream Chat incorporated into our application, our users will now be able to book appointments through forms directly available through chat, and we expect this new functionality to have a huge, positive impact on business.”
“Generally, the integration went well — I think it was pretty straightforward. There was a little back and forth between our team and Stream’s team, and the support has gone well."
“Communication is a big area where I think Stream has helped us by allowing us to incorporate chat and announcements."
"Teamworks is the operating system for sports. We started out with messaging and calendar functionalities and expanded to forms after that, but we've moved into nutrition, social media, and performance management. Just about everybody in a professional sports organization will interact with Teamworks at some point in their day. If Microsoft powers offices, Teamworks is what powers the backend of a sports organization."
"A challenge we faced was syncing messages between all of the different devices users may have. We leveraged Firebase and were able to solve that problem. It solved the original needs, but we ran into other challenges as our audience grew. At that moment, we had two options: one, we could keep iterating, or two, we could go with a provider who does that best to continue doing what we do best."
"1.000.000+ views, of which 377.000 are gathered in the last month, 8700 downloads and 570 likes. To give you some perspective; I have posted 16 photos on Instagram in the past month, which only provided me with 11.188 views. This is especially striking when you consider that I have about 900 followers on Instagram, compared to about 30 followers on Unsplash."
"We put that up on Hackernews, and within a few hours, it went to number one. The site started crashing because we had public Dropbox links. The head of engineering for Dropbox happened to look at the Hackernews post and said that they’d upgrade us to the maximum pro plan for the day. They’re not supposed to be used for public Dropbox links, but he said they’d keep the site up because they think it’s cool. And that was day one of Unsplash."
"It really just made sense to buy a commercially available product. We're not in a 'build' business. We're in the business of building marketplaces, not of building chat products."
“Very good, the support we got from the engineers at Stream was excellent, and the documentation is good. Where we did have questions or problems, we would get answers quickly and the online documentation would be updated shortly afterward to reflect the clarification. We had to implement our own abstraction layer on top of the PHP SDK because we wanted to use Stream with a similar interface as Doctrine, and integrate it as a service within Symfony, if there were already a solution like this out there the implementation would have been trivial, but it was still very straightforward without.”
"Ajaib previously had an in-house activity feed structure. However, user engagement was low, and we decided to retire the feature for that reason as well as to redistribute the amount of resources that were required to maintain it."
