We’ve received lots of requests for a public API to Shareflow. A public API will allow developers and consultants to integrate systems they already use with Shareflow and come up with new ways to use the service.

The good news is we’re putting the finishing touches on the API. We’ll be posting details on this blog within the next two weeks so watch this space!

We’ve also received a lot of requests for real-time notifications in Shareflow when you’re not logged into the web site. We already provide RSS feeds of your Shareflow activity, but we’re working on three new features to help keep you up-to-date:

1. An unobtrusive desktop application (written in Adobe Air so it will work on Windows, Mac, and Linux) that notifies you whenever there is new activity in flows you are a member of. The desktop app will also allow you to drag-n-drop files from your computer to easily upload to Shareflow.
2. The ability to email a Shareflow post to any member of the flow. Currently all of your teammates can receive a daily digest of Shareflow activity, but sometimes you want to be extra-sure they read one of your posts if they don’t check Shareflow that often.
3. Real-time email notifications: Several people want to receive an email any time anything happens on Shareflow. We’re working on a system to support this.

All of these features are designed to help you and your team get the most out of Shareflow.
