newhouseb on HNI made the very same thing years ago. I remember ending up removing the web-interface and use the CLI and vim-wrapper instead. I still think the syntax of the comments etc was…

ckluis on HNOh that's a cool idea - Maybe there's an opportunity extend this into a github/gitlab/etc plugin. I'll look into that!

Do people actually edit code to change priorities and assignees
From 1 comment
