'''Springloops''' is a web-based [[Git (software)|Git]] and [[Subversion (software)|Subversion]] [[Revision control|version control]] and [[Shared web hosting service|hosting service]] with integrated [[Software deployment|deploy]] and code collaboration features for [[Web developer|web]] and [[Softwaresoftware developer|software developers]]s. Springloops was also the name of the [[company]] behind the service until it rebranded to 84kids in May 2013.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kuś|first1=Aleksander|title=Welcome to 84kids!|url=http://84kids.com/welcome-to-84kids/|website=84kids.com|accessdate=15 July 2014|date=22 May 2013}}</ref>.
 
Springloops can be used both from the [[Command-line interface|command line]] and through a web-based [[Graphical user interface|graphical interface]] shared with BamBam!, Chime and Anchor [[Application software|apps]] from 84kids.

==History==
Springloops launched in late 2006 as an SVN version control and deploy and was gradually growing into a full-scale [[project management application]]. v2.0 was released in June 2009<ref>{{cite web|last1=Szczepankowski|first1=Szymon|title=Springloops 2.0 launched!|url=http://84kids.com/springloops-2-0-launched|website=84kids.com|accessdate=15 July 2014|date=29 April 2009}}</ref> with new interface and features: [[Task (project management)|tasks]], [[time tracking software|time tracking]], [[wiki]] module and [[Git (software)|Git]] support. On May 5, 2013, the service was [[Upgrade|upgradedupgrade]]d to v3.0<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kuś|first1=Aleksander|title=It's official: Springloops v3.0 is up and running!|url=http://84kids.com/its-official-springloops-v3-0-is-up-and-running/|website=84kids.com|accessdate=15 July 2014|date=066 May 2013}}</ref> and received a heavy graphical overhaul. The core features were extracted into four separate apps (probably for [[marketing]] reasons): BamBam! (tasks), Chime (time tracking), Anchor (wiki) and Springloops which retained its original allocation of source & deploy tool.

The software’s account settings also mention Turbine, described “discussions and note-taking for teams.” It’s been greyed out and labeled “Coming soon” since the division, however.
 
==Controversy==
==Post-upgrade controversy==
 
 
The v3.0 upgrade spawned a wide range of reactions, especially due to drastic changes in [[User interface|UI]] and [[User experience|UX]]. In September 2013 the company released a major update which was a direct response to the feedback from users. The team wrote:

==Integrations==
Pre-v3.0 iterations of Springloops allowed integration with [[Basecamp Classic]] project management [[software]]. The current version does not allow any [[Third-party software component|third- parties]] in favor of the other apps by 84kids that altogether form one integrated [[Project management software|project management platform]] for web and software developers.
 
At the moment Springloops does not provide an open [[API]] that could be used for custom-made integrations, although the company states that works on API have commenced and are currently in progress.<ref>{{cite web|title=API in progress...|url=https://www.facebook.com/84kids/photos/a.259909824146769.1073741827.186581168146302/268590063278745/|website=84kids Facebook profile|accessdate=15 July 2014|date=18 June 2013}}</ref>. Users can, however, configure [[Web-hook|web hooks]] to send data and trigger events on designated URLs.
