Very interesting, I'm looking forward to checking out the product! We use GitHub exclusively for everything; even our non-technical team-members leverage GitHub for sales, HR, marketing, blog post writing.. You name it. We did have to build a product to make this easier on ourselves [1], into which we've been resisting integrating chat. Chat is the only non-GitHub piece of our workflow, Gitter looks promising!

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!

We built github chat and it's in production http://kato.quora.com/Free-Kato-For-Open-GitHub-Repos please check it out and give us some feedback

I want to pay money for this. A chat service with built-in GitHub integration including issue and file referencing sounds like a fantastic tool for teams building using GitHub. Any chance you can use an actual Kickstarter instead so I can throw money at you? :)

This looks like it was influenced by the Hub, a Node Knockout project with a landing page created by high school students that's been picking up steam on Twitter since last weekend. http://nodeknockout.com/teams/team-name-goes-here Both landing pages seem nice, and looks like a great way to test the idea out!

We hadn't seen this at all, so wasn't part of the influence to be honest. Trying to check it out now, but it's hanging on signup :(

Looks pretty neat. I went to signup, but then noticed that they require commit access to my public repos. Why do you need this permission to integrate links to the code and similar features? I don't like giving out commit access unless absolutely necessary.

That's the default lowest level of oAuth access and it's just read-only.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not the parent, but I'm reluctant to give a website access to an account I care about just for a trial. If I know that I want to use your service, sure, but not if I just want to casually evaluate it.

I agree with this, but it's better than the alternative of signing up for a brand new username / password combo! What would you have in mind instead?

I'd like to try it out without signing up at all. Do you sign up for IRC?

Hi! I'm one of the developers of Hub. We've been having some issues with GitHub rate limiting, but that should have reset now, so if you still want to try it out, it should work for you now. :)
