Impressive craftsmanship and speed from local synced database
From 2 comments
I'm impressed by the thought, care, and craftsmanship that went into this, and all the more so because it's such a seemingly mundane tool. A better bugtracker UX. What makes this…
dongslol on HNSure. The unique thing about Ship is that it is backed by a continuously synchronized local database of your issues, across all of your repos. This lets Ship run incredibly…

Admired the apology and fix for webhook issue

I wish we'd see this more often. You fucked up, but came clean about it, apologized, and gave a working solution. Congrats!

Installed webhooks on all repos without clear notice
From 2 comments
This app installed webhooks on all of my repos with no automated way to remove them. Very annoying.
thedjinn on HNPeople are used to granting access to an app without assuming that it's going to take full advantage of that access. I have access to a lot of repos. Like, a LOT of repos with a…

Requests full read/write repo access
From 1 comment

Subscription pricing too high
From 2 comments
Is there really a market for this? 9$ per month seems pretty steep when you consider that Github's web interface is free and pretty awesome.
pier25 on HNVery nice, but $9/month to use?

Server component raises data privacy concerns
From 2 comments
Note: Not actually native, it's apparently a weird hybrid JavaScript thing rather than a Cocoa app. At least it's not just a wrapper around a WebView. And if that weren't enough,…

GitLab support
From 2 comments
Any chance of GitHub Enterprise or Gitlab support?
newman314 on HNLooks really lovely, would be great to see GitLab integration, I'm seeing a lot of people move from Github Enterprise to GitLab CE/EE which (IMO) is a lot better to work with.

Linux or other platform support

Why did you develop just for OSX and would you consider supporting other platforms (Linux!) in future?

Why it needs full repo access and a server

I got as far as the screen where is asks for full read/write access to my code, including all my private repos. I'm fairly sure you won't mess anything up or steal my secrets,…
nicky0 on HNThis is a impressive amount of work to keep things fast and to avoid hammering GitHub with redundant requests, which can get you rate limited[1] pretty quickly. Couple questions:…

Why MSSQL was chosen
From 1 comment
> Ship 2.0 is two parts, a hybrid Cocoa/ObjC/CoreData/JavaScript/React application that runs on your Mac, and a C#/MSSQL/Orleans server that runs in Azure. Oh, and a little bit…

GitScout

This looks cool, but superficially very similar to GitScout. Can you talk about what differentiates your product from that one? I'm not trying to be negative, but as a user of…

Nice I use Bee which supports GitHub and JIRA. http://www.neat.io/bee/index.html Unfortunately this application supports only GitHub issues.

ZenHub

Given all the 3rd-party integrations available to the web interface (ZenHub, Harvest, to... Grammarly even), what's the point of having a native MacOS-only interface? It seems…
