What HN said

What people liked

  • Drag-and-drop backlog reordering and quick standup updates

    From 1 comment
    • We've been using Zube at Interviewed and really like it. We'd been using Github Issues previously but found it hard to prioritize our tickets in a way that was natural for us.…

  • Each developer gets their own row, unlike a kanban board

    From 2 comments
    • ZenHub is a great plugin for GitHub. It adds a kanban style board to your GitHub issues. Zube is not a Chrome extension, it's a full web app. The reason we made it a web app is…

    • Huboard's cool and it's open source! Zube gives each developer their own row, so it's different from a traditional kanban board.

  • Fast and a better experience than GitHub Issues

Objections

  • Requires GitHub authorization for all organizations

    From 3 comments
    • This looks really awesome, and I can't wait to check it out. However—when authorizing with Github, do I read this correctly as granting auth to all of my organizations? I can't…

    • (Not the OP) I've talked to GitHub about this, and they said that granting access to only certain organizations is in the works, but not possible yet.

  • No support for multiple repos on one board yet

    From 2 comments
    • Does Zube support having one board that covers multiple GitHub repos?
      philips on HN
    • Waffle does this I'm pretty sure, but we don't have it yet. It's on our roadmap though! We've had the request for multiple repos on one Zube board when talking with PMs and…

  • No time tracking yet

    From 2 comments
    • If this had time-tracking support, I would be able to migrate from Trello (time tracking provided by Trello Plus). Is this a possible feature?
      deevus on HN
    • For us it's a combination of a timesheet (so we can get paid) and a run down of time spent (vs estimated) on specific tasks. Those are the two important bits. For reference:…

Requests

  • GitLab integration

    From 2 comments
    • Any chance you'll support GitLab projects? Some of us have been waiting a while for a competing service to provide this support. [1] https://gitlab.com/ [2]…
      metasean on HN
    • Yeah, we're a full web app and we love integrations (GitHub is just the first) so GitLab seems very promising. We haven't looked into the specifics yet but we'd love to create…

  • GitHub Enterprise, Stash and Bitbucket integrations

    From 2 comments
    • Pretty cool, I've looked at some of the other alternatives mentioned in the comments before (huboard, waffle, zenhub), this actually looks like it may be more to my liking than…
      tracker1 on HN
    • I'm working at a large financial institution that's moving to git on stash internally, so unlikely I'd be able to use your product any time soon... Honestly, I'd suggest working…

Questions

  • How does it compare to ZenHub and Waffle

    From 3 comments
    • Looks great! Would love understand how it compares to ZenHub.io.
      FabioFleitas on HN
    • I've used ZenHub previously. What are the advantages of Zube over ZenHub?
      johnymontana on HN
    • Looks almost exactly like waffle.io that i saw like a day ago on HN new. Are the projects related?

  • How to view all issues across milestones

    From 2 comments
    • Hey, just got it all set up. Seems very neat! I have a question: how can I view all issues? It seems I can only view issues without a milestone and issues in a milestone…
      nicolewhite on HN
    • Thanks for trying it out! At the moment you can only view issues by milestone. We're working on a 'power user' view where you'll be able to view all of your issues, perform…

    • And Waffle: https://waffle.io/
      michaelmior on HN
    • Waffle.io is good product and Zube is similar. We're both web apps that sync with GitHub issues. As far as functionality, Zube gives you some things that Waffle does not:…

    • I like the way that Zube is setup like Trello (cards & boards) but fully integrated with Github. At first glance, I believe this will give me and my team better insights into…
