How does it compare to the official Github app: https://desktop.github.com/
It allows full interaction with GitHub Issues. The official application (I believe) only supports limited interaction with PRs.

#12I just tried the app and I think the typography of the issue list makes it hard to look at for me. Also, I doubt that the app is useful to me. What kinds of teams is it aimed at?

#13Fred, James and I are in the thread and happy to answer any questions about the product and how we built it. There's definitely more detail than made sense to include in the blog post.
Any chance of GitHub Enterprise or Gitlab support?

Without intending any snark, here's a guide to getting upvoted rather than downvoted for a comment like this:
"I think the typography of the issue list makes it hard to look at for me, because ________(insert constructive criticism here)________"
"I doubt that the app is useful to me, because ________(insert thoughtful feedback here)________"
I'm sure both the authors of the app and the HN readership at large would be more receptive to such a post.

#15For a new user, they may have no idea that this is a 30 day trial until they download and run the app, and I don't think that there is pricing information on the website anywhere. Not necessary to have any of this, just some feedback :)
Yep - it's a 30 day free trial. After that it's $9/month. Like GitHub, we're also offering a plan for organizations that want to provide Ship to their whole team.
Our pricing page goes into more detail -- https://www.realartists.com/pricing.html
You're right, though - we should mention the free trial part on the front page. Thanks for the feedback and for trying it out!

#16Why did you develop just for OSX and would you consider supporting other platforms (Linux!) in future?

Not really, their pricing is pretty clear. It's free for public repos and paying for private ones.

How do you charge a subscription for a downloadable, native app? Does the app stop working if I stop payments?
