Founder of Zube here. GitHub Projects seems like a nice solution for very small teams, side projects and open source projects. However, serious teams need more powerful features li…

I had tried picking up textbooks and online courses before I started the 180 project and none of them stuck for me. While I could do the exercises, but I never felt like I was unde…

During the project I had to travel from San Francisco to Pennsylvania for family obligations. I managed to do a pretty good job of keeping my coding schedule up while flying and sp…

Thank you! Pieter is awesome :)

Right on!

Thanks! Yes, repetition is super helpful. Before starting a new project, many artists will go through a 'research' phase where they'll make quick iterations of ideas over the cours…

Thank you!

JIRA is a great tool but it's hard to set up and for small teams it can be overkill. We built Zube to provide an Agile workflow right out of the box so you can get up an running ri…

Thank you! I did a lot of Googling. Each day I would break down what I wanted to do into small components and start researching. I used sites like Stack Overflow, Mozilla Developer…

YC recently started a new program called YC Fellowship. We're in the second cohort now. It's an 8 week program for early stage companies that you can participate in remotely. They …

I had a lot of fun working on the 180 Websites project. It was grueling at times but pushing something live everyday was super satisfying. My favorites are Electro Bounce, How We'r…

I was spending an average of 10 hours a day, every day on the 180 Websites project. For YumHacker, I was working on that full time for about 6 months or so. We've been working on Z…

Thank you! Electro bounce is one of my favorites as well :) 180 websites is mostly Rails backed. The first 68 pages are served out of the public folder and almost everything else w…

Hey everyone! I'm happy to answer any questions. AMA!

We totally understand your concerns and we take security very seriously. In order to manage GitHub issues, GitHub currently requires the repo scope. If there was a more restrictive…

Gotchya! We've been thinking about how to add some flexibility to the columns without falling into the 'endless column' trap where teams end up with dozens of micromanaged columns.…

Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help!

Interesting. Maybe we could make an app setting that would save points as labels. Thanks for suggesting it! And we will release a public API :) You can already see much of the func…

We'd really like to add other integrations like GitLab. We do have a bit of work to do on our core product first so it may take a little while before we get there.

Great question! JIRA is highly configurable so if your company has a lot of custom requirements, that might be the way to go. Zube provides a lightweight, Agile workflow out of the…

Yep, that's the game plan!

Thanks! We created tickets with non-technical people in mind as way they could report bugs, feature requests and the like without cluttering up issues for developers. Since the tic…

Got it! That makes sense, thanks for the breakdown.

Cool! That's how we're implementing it.
