My favourite part about their front page is the quote at the bottom:

Re: Waffle.io
#52I like the idea, it seems really helpful, but just as a warning if you call your site Waffle and blue is the prominent color, especially on the logo, you're going to cause people to make connections that shouldn't be made...
If its any consolation for the OP I have absolutely no idea what this is referring to and haven't made any connections even after reading this and trying to... blue waffles?

Sorry, I should have included more information: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/blue-waffle
I recommend against just googling it. It's used as one of those "gotcha" images for unsuspecting internet users.

#54Like the old (now left to rot by Atlassian) Bitbucket Cards. This kind of scrum/kanban board with issues integration is really useful, I'm developing my version as well.
Re: Waffle.io
#55Other than taking the nominal appearance of a Kanban board, I can't figure out what is possible to do with this that isn't possible to do with Github issues, in a non-vertical format.

Even a site that I could read on mobile would be good. Resizing doesn't help with this one so some text and images can't be viewed.
Rally Software, the parent behind this product, doesn't even have a mobile optimized version of their core agile product [1]. It's outrageously frustrating when I need to update my tasks or add stories on the go. [1] http://www.rallydev.com/
Experimental mobile support for the core product, ALM:

Re: Waffle.io
#57I would urge you to take another look at the flow of your landing page. I have literally no clue what your product does even after reading the infographic at the top of the page a few times. - GitHub users want a way to help out on open source projects - waffle.io places a dynamic badge in your GitHub README file for all to see where they can help - Clicking that badge takes anyone to your public waffle.io board wher…
I strongly dislike everything about waffle.io. I feel bad about it, because these are good people who more than likely love their product and it's getting a lot of hate here despite them coming here to respond to feedback... but. 1. Most people here are confused about what this is for. After understanding what it's for, I find that it's not even a solution looking for a problem... it's a force-fed solution to a non-e…
I'm not so sure managing issues is a non-existent problem for large projects. For example, Canonical have Launchpad (also used by Mozilla, MySQL, a bunch of other distros etc.), Django have a custom issues tracker, etc. I don't know if waffle.io is it, but these examples suggest that perhaps there is a point where something is needed beyond Github issues. On the other hand Rails seem to use Github issues alone so maybe you're right.

#58Awesome!! It remains me the UI of Trello boards which is pretty cool IMHO

I agree the landing page is confusing though I believe it's called waffle.io because kanban cards create a grid pattern & waffles also have a grid pattern.

It's an interesting choice as in British Vernacular
Waffle - speak or write at length in a vague or trivial manner.
