This static app includes hard-coded data and layout blocks, and can be installed on a phone for a realistic preview. By using the demo app, decision-makers can visualize the end product's design and user experience, facilitate a better understanding of the application's potential, and effectively communicate its value proposition.

During personal interactions at events, some of you have even made passing mentions aboutEdit and Delete options in Comments
A lot of teams have been using ticket comments extensively to collaborate everyday. Notification Center further improved this experience by bringing real-time updates.
