What people liked
Native macOS interface feels polished and nice.

Objections
Monthly subscription pricing is unwanted; prefer one-time purchase.
From 3 comments

UI locked up on milestone creation after a GitHub timeout.
From 2 comments
The ui probably shouldn't lock up though
NegativeLatency on HNThanks for looking into it. Like @NegativeLatency said, it would be nice for the UI not to lock up and if it does error, to a) let the user know, b) allow cancelling out or…

Questions
Does it support approving PRs, mentions, assignment, and diff subsets?
From 1 comment
I'm excited to give this a try, as it's downloading, is there support for: - Approving / rejecting on the PR as a whole? - @ mentioning - Assigning team members to a PR - Viewing…
