We’re working on some exciting developments in the Grainchek chat module but until then, there are already some unique functions. The team did a great job making it possible to share a Grainchek feed within a chat thread.

While I’m chatting with a friend I can tap the first button in the message field and select a feed to share with this user. Even if I have already shared the feed with the user, this function will drop a card into the thread that both of us can tap on to access the feed. It’s a great way to quickly share, analyze and discuss feeds. If the feed contains time that should be accumulated with others, it can then be added as a subfeed.

Tapping the second button allows me to share individual events to the Grainchek chat thread. The card that is dropped into the conversation contains details of the event including the photo, time stamp, duration, message and task.

In this video as I use the tree totter to trim, cut and relocate another spruce beam, I can track the time, share a feed and discuss. I have made a few feeds from the base camp public so everyone can follow along on the progress in Grainchek.
