So does this mean Ship isn't a stand alone tracker any more?
Ship 1.0 will continue to work for the foreseeable future, but you're correct: Ship 2.0 depends on GitHub.

#102Brew support?
That's actually a great idea. Do they have a notability requirement?

#103Very nice, but $9/month to use?
If we're not yet there, the goal is to get to the point Ship is worth at least $9/mo. Are there any features you'd like to see?

#104Given all the 3rd-party integrations available to the web interface (ZenHub, Harvest, to... Grammarly even), what's the point of having a native MacOS-only interface? It seems limiting / backwards to have native applications when there's already a universal web interface. Are there features that the web interface doesn't have?
Right now we have some search and charting features that GitHub's web interface doesn't. We also hope to do a much better job with PRs (diff view especially).
The big win for us right now (and hopefully other teams) is the ability to view issues from multiple repositories all together. So if you have an organization wide "1.0" milestone, you can actually view all the issues in that milestone from all repos at once. You can also use custom queries to group things however you like across all your repos.

#105I'd be a lot more curious about it if it handled Pull Requests. (Can't find anything in the screenshots or docs to indicate that it does.) The biggest pain point I've seen with GitHub's current UI is that it's hard to track PRs as they evolve over time - old revisions and comments are often hidden away, with no way to indicate what's been resolved and what hasn't. Though to be honest, I'd be skeptical even if it supp…

#106I use Github email notifications to keep on top of issues. GH lets you use different email addresses for each organization you belong to, and then you can use an email filter rule to separate issue traffic from the rest of your inbox. Admittedly far less powerful than this desktop app, but also simple, free, and native (via my native mail app). It handles a lot of my needs.
