Adds another external service to track; should integrate with GitHub issues
From 3 comments
This is interesting but like that one site that was bought recently (get satisfaction) this is another site that I, as a repository owner, has to track down to find customer…
BinaryIdiot on HNWhy doesn't it link directly to issues on github? It would get annoying having two separate lists of features (and, presumably, bugs). One on github and one on this service.…
crdoconnor on HNI like the idea, but would prefer if GitHub just integrated this functionality. Otherwise, how will the developers know that something was voted on unless they use these…

From 3 comments
And, like Get Satisfaction, it's a pretty dick move to imply to my users that I'm affiliated with you and that their voices can be heard through you. I certainly have sympathy…
ketralnis on HNThe pattern of "Oh, sure, we're associated with that project" is a very dark one. "Contribute to something on GitHub off of GitHub" has been used by a number of hard-to-verify…

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I agree with you, having to keep tabs with thousands of new services is annoying. In that case though, you shouldn't have to worry about missing…

Why isn't GitHub voting built in?
From 1 comment
I'm surprised this feature isn't in github already ... is there a reason?

Bountysource
From 1 comment
The Bountysource browser extension is similar. It works with existing votes and +1's from GitHub, Bugzilla, Trac, etc. https://www.bountysource.com/extension

UserVoice
From 1 comment
I was always using UserVoice. It's quite cheap, and even has (or at least had) discounts for open-source/non-profit projects.

waffle.io
From 1 comment
It seems like you build off the comments of issues, parsing for the :+1:, you could functionally provide the same tooling, but in the same additive way that waffle.io does.
