What HN said

What people liked

  • Clean, polished interface with kanban board and birds-eye view

    From 3 comments
    • Oh, this is really cool. So when I create a "card" on zube, it automatically creates an issue on github. And when I drag the card to "done" on your trello-like board, it marks…

    • Awesome work! I love how simple it is while still adding so much. I know you've mentioned this elsewhere, but I was a bit confused by the tickets. I get what they are, but who is…

    • This looks really awesome, best implementation of this I've seen by far Personally, I'm really excited about this, but I also imagine a lot of companies might use BitBucket for…

  • Better GitHub integration and two-way sync than alternatives

    From 2 comments
    • Great question! JIRA is highly configurable so if your company has a lot of custom requirements, that might be the way to go. Zube provides a lightweight, Agile workflow out of…
      jenniferDewalt on HN
    • Zube's a stand alone web app. Your Zube cards are two-way synced in real-time via the GitHub API.

  • Fast loading compared with Waffle and ZenHub

    From 2 comments
    • How does Zube do in terms of performance when loading up? One of my biggest issues with Waffle or Zenhub is that loading them up is often a long wait- Zenhub can be 3-4…
      quaunaut on HN
    • We've been using Zube for several months now and are really impressed with how fast the team has turned this into such a powerful platform. We quickly switched from ZenHub to…

Objections

  • Requests broad GitHub repo permissions, including write access to private repos

    From 1 comment
    • This looks really cool and is something I would love to check out, but the permissions of the actual app seem pretty high. For us, our code is stored in a private repository with…

  • Onboarding and documentation are unclear, especially for Tickets

    • Oh, this is really cool. So when I create a "card" on zube, it automatically creates an issue on github. And when I drag the card to "done" on your trello-like board, it marks…

    • Sound intriguing! Where can we find out more about Zube Tickes? Not mentioned in the simple doc page.

  • Only supports GitHub, one repo per board for now

    • Hey Jen, Congrats on 1.0. Our development team uses a micro service architecture that has 1 project spread across multiple repos, and I think the biggest problem with most…

Requests

  • Multiple repos on one board

    From 3 comments
    • We're working on implementing multiple repos on one board right now and will have that feature out in a couple of weeks. Are you looking for adding several repos to one board or…
      jenniferDewalt on HN
    • Yep, you can create, edit and delete labels and milestones from Zube. We're working on adding multiple repos to Zube boards and should have that feature out in a couple of weeks.
      jenniferDewalt on HN
    • Thanks for the kind words! We started with GitHub because that's what we know and love but down the road we'd love to add more integrations like BitBucket. Multiple repo views is…

  • Hour-based or point estimates stored as GitHub labels

    From 3 comments
    • Estimation is a killer feature missing from Github Issues, and it looks like you've got a points estimation feature, which is great. Any plans to add hour-based estimation?
      alexwebb2 on HN
    • It's critical to have point estimates available in Github. Zenhub, Codetree, Waffle, and others are moving to sync issue point estimation with integer labels in Github. We…
      kwiens on HN
    • If in hours, then implement it as combobox with predefined list of standard estimates (1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 2d, 3d, 1w, 2w, 3w, 1m, 2m, 3m, 6m, 1y).

      jmtulloss on HN
    • Oh I was thinking of the board, not tickets. But perhaps it's more relevant in tickets? I'm not sure, just an idea. Years ago I worked at a company that had a jira flow that…

  • Non-technical user login without repo access

    • Can I add non-technical people to Zube, without giving them access to repos on Github?

Questions

  • Non-technical users can be added without GitHub repo access?

    • Can I add non-technical people to Zube, without giving them access to repos on Github?
      kawsper on HN
    • At the moment, you need at least read access to the repo to use Zube but we're working on allowing email only login for non-technical people to use tickets and view the Zube…

  • How does it compare to Waffle and Jira?

    • How does it compare to Waffle.io?
      kvark on HN
    • Why would one pick Zube of Jira? (I am about to implement Jira - are you mature enough to compete against Jira, thus shall I eval Zube V Jira? or diff use case?)

  • Is it an extension or standalone web app?
