Hi Jen - is Zube 1.0 for people in the company who are not developers?

Yes! We made Zube Tickets so support teams and non-technical people have a place to report problems/questions. The cool thing about Zube Tickets is that they automatically track what the development team is working on and notify you when things get done. This makes it easy to know what's going on without having to understand the technical details of every GitHub issue!

Sound intriguing!

Where can we find out more about Zube Tickes? Not mentioned in the simple doc page.

This looks really awesome, best implementation of this I've seen by far Personally, I'm really excited about this, but I also imagine a lot of companies might use BitBucket for its free private repos. The only think I kinda wish for is a way to see an overview across all repos. The GitHub issues dashboard is so awful that I wish someone could take over that job.

Thanks for the kind words! We started with GitHub because that's what we know and love but down the road we'd love to add more integrations like BitBucket.

Multiple repo views is a great suggestion. We're working on it now and we will have it out in a few weeks!

Can I add non-technical people to Zube, without giving them access to repos on Github?

Yea, our docs are a little short when it comes to Tickets. :) We'll work on getting that updated but in the meantime you can check out this blog post - https://zube.io/blog/introducing-a-ticketing-system-for-your...

How does it compare to Waffle.io?

Zube and Waffle are similar in the sense that we both allow developers to better organize their GitHub issues on a kanban board. The main difference between Waffle and Zube is that Zube provides many features that Waffle lacks. Zube lets team leads easily triage incoming issues with a powerful issue manager. Zube allows GitHub issues to be grouped together into a single ticket, and automatically tracks the progress o…

Thank you for the extensive explanation! We'll give it a try ;)

At the moment, you need at least read access to the repo to use Zube but we're working on allowing email only login for non-technical people to use tickets and view the Zube board. We're aiming to have that out in a few weeks.

How does Zube do in terms of performance when loading up?

One of my biggest issues with Waffle or Zenhub is that loading them up is often a long wait- Zenhub can be 3-4 seconds(and often is just incorrect in labels/assignments), and Waffle could be upwards of 15 seconds.

Does this do any caching on Zube's side and then real-time update it as it goes, or am I in for a long wait again regardless?

Hi! I’m Jen, cofounder of Zube and we’re thrilled to announce Zube 1.0 today. Zube 1.0 is much more powerful than our beta version. We’ve added Zube Tickets, which lets you create tickets that track groups of related GitHub issues. Think ZenDesk for Github. We’ve also added an issue manager, which is the fastest way to find and triage your issues on any platform. And there have been many improvements to our scrum/kan…

Hey Jen,

Congrats on 1.0. Our development team uses a micro service architecture that has 1 project spread across multiple repos, and I think the biggest problem with most project management software with extensive Github integration is that they are on a per repo basis. We can never get a holistic view of our entire application without duplicating work into another Project Management platform. Is there anything inside Zube that would alleviate this? How does Zube handle multiple repos for teams?
