About Idobata
Dedicated chat for team development. Idobata makes software development fun. By developers for developers. Lightweight, familiar UI inspired by IRC. Integrates with the tools that you use. Idobota lets you create Organizations, different groupings of chat rooms. You can give your members access to all rooms in your Organization, or limit them to specific ones. You can invite Idobata users who aren't members of your Organization as guests. Again, you can limit that guest's access to rooms you choose. The Timeline view lets you view all rooms across your Organization. Idobata's Webhooks are easily set up notifications that plug into other development tools. Idobata provides well-designed notification messages for popular services like GitHub. You can customize which Webhooks are used for each project you work on. Plus you can create Custom Webhooks for your own use. Idobata supports Hubot, so you create and set up bots to do almost anything with your rooms, and then activate them.
