We've been using Zube at Interviewed and really like it. We'd been using Github Issues previously but found it hard to prioritize our tickets in a way that was natural for us. The ability to drag and drop reorder our backlog has really helped with that. Also, the UI works well for quick updates during our morning standup.

So good to hear we've been able to help your team!

I really like the animated demo graphic you have in the imac. Can i ask how you made that?

Sure! It's a little hack that autoplays everywhere, browser and mobile. It's javascript that loops over numbered png images in the canvas tag. You can grab the js in the source of our homepage toward the bottom.

The process for creating the images is as follows:

Use quicktime to take a video, called demo.mov (or equivalent movie capture program with whatever file format)

Create a color palette from the movie $ ffmpeg -i demo.mov -vf fps=10,scale=1378:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen palette.png

Create a gif from the movie using the color palette $ ffmpeg -i demo.mov -i palette.png -filter_complex "fps=10,scale=1378:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" output.gif

Create a sequence of pngs from the gif $ convert -dispose Background -coalesce output.gif -colors 256 PNG8:target-%d.png

party!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Waffle.io is good product and Zube is similar. We're both web apps that sync with GitHub issues. As far as functionality, Zube gives you some things that Waffle does not: Comments - syntax highlighting; @mentions, emojis, issue reference autocomplete; live updating from GitHub comments for things like comment updates and deletes (so your data is consistent) Cards - Commit references, events, and card references. Cons…

Does Zube support having one board that covers multiple GitHub repos?

Waffle does this I'm pretty sure, but we don't have it yet. It's on our roadmap though!

We've had the request for multiple repos on one Zube board when talking with PMs and consulting firms and we're aware that it's important for them. However, we're laser focused on making developers happy and they've told us that they care more about managing issues for a single repository, so we implemented that first.

This looks really awesome, and I can't wait to check it out. However—when authorizing with Github, do I read this correctly as granting auth to all of my organizations? I can't do that. Is this configurable? praying

I don't think so, but I haven't fully explored it. I would love to implement it if I can. I know it's kind of a hack but your organization can whitelist 3rd party apps, which is probably a good idea if you have sensitive data. https://help.github.com/articles/about-third-party-applicati... I'd love to explore this further with you.

Hm, I'd like to try this, but it's going to take some time to talk with different people about what keys might be obviated (made before Feb 2014) ..... Argh....

(Not the OP) I've talked to GitHub about this, and they said that granting access to only certain organizations is in the works, but not possible yet.
