Q: Collaboration with client inside orchestra
Hi, Anthony
I'm playing around with the system and have questions.
1) as far as I see the comments go in 1 feed for each task. So there is no ability to reply to a certain comment. If a client adds several comments and I will answer several comments that will be complete mess. Do you plan to implement the comment feed with threads.
2) I need to collaborate with a client on a document. If create it in Orchestra and ask client to review. how should we collaborate? I see the same feed of comments with no ability to see to which paragraph a comment relates and no ability to reply a specific comment. How do you see this collaboration?
3) how the project files should be organized? say, I need 100 images to pick from. Should they be stored in a task?
4) Do you have a team? How many developers?
5) How it is integrated with Figma and Google?

1) You're right, comments aren’t threaded right now, which can make things messy if there’s a lot of back and forth. It’s something I want to improve. The first step coming soon is versions, so you’ll be able to group comments and files by version of the deliverable. That way feedback won’t get mixed up between V1, V2, etc.
2) For docs, you can’t comment inline for now, I totally get how helpful that would be. It’s on my radar as part of the bigger upgrade to collaboration and feedback tools.
3) If you need to share 100 images, putting them all into one task won’t work well (Orchestra isn’t built to display that many files cleanly). Best option: zip the folder and attach it to a task. Keeps things cleaner and easier for the client too.
I’m currently solo on development but not for long. I run a dev agency and one of my developers will join soon to help scale things up.
You can embed Figma files directly into tasks or comments, which works well for most design workflows. No Google integration (yet), curious, what would be useful there for you?

Thank you for your quick reply. I asked about google integration just because it is mention in the product description, I didn't see anything in the interface. I was just curious about it. I think I would definitely use google drive and google documents for my projects. Sure I can add links in the list of the documents on in tasks. Maybe there could be better solution to access these files.

What is really important for me is that Orchestra will become my critical software and definitely it would be a disaster if you don't succeed and close the project. Solo development is not quite reliable for systems of that scale. And you also have a bunch of competitors. Generally I like what I see and the potential, and though some features are not here yet, it is possible to have work-around.
