joshfinnie on HNYou're 100% correct. Blossom/trello/jira etc all suffer from the same data replication problem, though blossom is a pretty product. It was among the products we tried to use…

Objections
Relies on monkey-patching GitHub's UI, may break on updates
From 3 comments
I couldn't imagine getting all my team to use this product and then suddently GitHub updates their UI and this plug-in is broken for days or weeks before an update hits the…
Khao on HNThat's exactly my concern. I'm currently considering between waffle.io and huboard - and in general it seems to me safer that they use github's API, compared to Zenhub, which (is…
gingerlime on HNIt could stop being able to insert content into the page if the structure changed. If they're smart they'll have tests that periodically check it still works and alert them if it…

Pricing seems high for small teams

Just some honest feedback regarding pricing. I think this looks really cool, and may give it a spin. However, not sure I can justify the charge for my team. I currently pay $25…

Website JavaScript errors and lag
From 3 comments
Whenever I click on any link in the top navigation menu I get a javascript error in Chrome : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined
Khao on HNClicking anywhere causes an error in Safari.
EduardoBautista on HNFor me, that page is lagging like crazy (although other tabs work fine). Also, this is another good example of a headline that doesn't state anything about what the product…

Trello sync
From 2 comments
This is rad, however, echoing others it does seem a bit risky to trust that Github won't swap out. For stuff like boards, it'd be nice to have an option sync with Trello. Worst…

Bitbucket support

Looks awesome ! If you could do Bitbucket, that would be awesome (considering Bitbucket already has native Hipchat, Jira, etc.)

Easier transition from Huboard

We already use huboard. It would be nice if this transition from huboard to ZenHub was more seamless. For now, I'm told that I need to create another board and I'm not entirely…

Questions
How are updates to GitHub's UI handled
From 1 comment
Wow, this seems like a cool product. I can't imagine building a product that relies so heavily on the UI of another service. How are updates handled?

How is GitHub API rate limiting handled
From 1 comment
How do (web)apps like this cope with the API request limiting? I can't imagine a client being OK with the app not working after 5000reqs.

gingerlime on HNThis one does, but the ones like huboard and waffle.io use the API.

Have you taken a look at Blossom as well? A few friends were telling me they have a killer Github integration.
cwilson on HNreally? I did, but I found the github integration lacking actually. Lots of 'coming soon' functionality on the documentation pages last time I checked. huboard and waffle are…
