We've got a lot of the parts of this already built, just not packaged in this format.

We're trying to see how much support there would be for a product like this. If we get a lot of "signups" we'll get cracking immediately.

Comments/feedback more than welcome.

Thanks in advance for your support.

This is awesome. I can see this being massively useful. Who wants to use GMail for a chat?

Coming from someone who uses Github with a few people, this would be great. I'd even pay for it if our project was more than a hobby at this point.

Signed up immediately. Very promising, especially if the history stays up there for anyone who joins the "repo" discussion later on.

This could be really important for bigger projects where new/significant features should be discussed openly. This way the information stays attached to the repo and others can refer to it later on.

Looking forward to seeing it in action!

Thanks for the support. We'll be absolutely sure to have a useful free tier as well as a paid offering.

Dev here! Yeah, we've been making www.trou.pe for while and have just added some github hooks after some user requests. We are just curious to see how far people want github integration to go...
