How does Zube do in terms of performance when loading up? One of my biggest issues with Waffle or Zenhub is that loading them up is often a long wait- Zenhub can be 3-4 seconds(and often is just incorrect in labels/assignments), and Waffle could be upwards of 15 seconds. Does this do any caching on Zube's side and then real-time update it as it goes, or am I in for a long wait again regardless?

Great question. We built Zube is speed in mind even for repos with hundreds of open issues. If you have over 1000 open issues you'll probably notice a lag on any platform and it will take about 2 seconds on Zube. We're obsessed with speed and we'd be happy to work with you to make things fast!

Hi! I’m Jen, cofounder of Zube and we’re thrilled to announce Zube 1.0 today. Zube 1.0 is much more powerful than our beta version. We’ve added Zube Tickets, which lets you create tickets that track groups of related GitHub issues. Think ZenDesk for Github. We’ve also added an issue manager, which is the fastest way to find and triage your issues on any platform. And there have been many improvements to our scrum/kan…

Hey Jen, Congrats on 1.0. Our development team uses a micro service architecture that has 1 project spread across multiple repos, and I think the biggest problem with most project management software with extensive Github integration is that they are on a per repo basis. We can never get a holistic view of our entire application without duplicating work into another Project Management platform. Is there anything insi…

We're working on implementing multiple repos on one board right now and will have that feature out in a couple of weeks.

Are you looking for adding several repos to one board or do you need a board that displays issues from one or more repos as well as non-issue backed tasks?

Really big fan of this approach - link the work up with the thing tracking the work as closely as possible. At Etsy we use Github and JIRA separately and I personally think it'd save time and reduce confusion if we were to move to something like Zube. Nice job Jen!

Thanks Jason! That is exactly where the idea for Zube came from! Trying to keep two (or more!) data sources in sync is error prone and just generates extra work for everyone. We made Zube to combat that problem.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How does it compare to Waffle.io?

Zube and Waffle are similar in the sense that we both allow developers to better organize their GitHub issues on a kanban board. The main difference between Waffle and Zube is that Zube provides many features that Waffle lacks. Zube lets team leads easily triage incoming issues with a powerful issue manager. Zube allows GitHub issues to be grouped together into a single ticket, and automatically tracks the progress o…

>> Zube’s GitHub integration allows you to fully manage your issues, labels, and milestones, whereas Waffle’s less complete integration does not.

Meaning labels and milestones can be created from Zube instead of being limited to just applying already existing labels and milestones like Waffle? Can multiple repos be combined into a single board like Waffle?

Estimation is a killer feature missing from Github Issues, and it looks like you've got a points estimation feature, which is great. Any plans to add hour-based estimation?

That's a great idea and would be pretty quick to add. Would having either points or hours for a repository work for you?

We've been using Zube for several months now and are really impressed with how fast the team has turned this into such a powerful platform. We quickly switched from ZenHub to Zube because of how fast and easy it was to prioritize issues and manage dev sprints (using milestones).

Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear Zube is working for you! :D
