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?

Yep, you can create, edit and delete labels and milestones from Zube.

We're working on adding multiple repos to Zube boards and should have that feature out in a couple of weeks.

Oh nice! I like the ability to assign Issues by just dragging to a user and the "Batch Editing" UI is pretty concise! Also, being able to create an Issue without having a GitHub login seems helpful to get non-developers communicating.

I'm a developer that grew frustrated with so many ticket tracking solutions that force users to use the UI (Waffle and ZenHub store metadata that is not in GitHub), a lack of hackable options, and making it difficult for non-members to be involved in what's going on in a project. So, I created https://github.com/philschatz/gh-board .

Some features I haven't seen anywhere else, that gh-board does are:

- real-time collaborative editing of Issues

- showing related Issues/PR's

- shareable URL's (for remote folks)

- sequence diagrams, gantt charts, etc

- CI and merge conflict status

- "deployable" anywhere (using gh-pages or nginx)

Like other solutions, it also supports multiple repositories, Drag-N-Drop, milestone planning. In the _very near_ future it will have a burndown chart, batch editing, Issue creation, and load faster (using IndexedDB).

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…

Not exactly what you're looking for, but Netflix OSS Tracker aggregates metrics across GH project.

Oh, this is really cool. So when I create a "card" on zube, it automatically creates an issue on github. And when I drag the card to "done" on your trello-like board, it marks the issue as closed in github. The zube interface definitely adds a lot of clarity with colours and birds-eye view. I'm excited to use this! I think the onboarding could make it easier to quickly understand this much (initially, I falsely assumed a "ticket" corresponded to one github issue).

I just pushed to github with a commit message that closed the issue, (git commit -m "... closes #1", as per https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-m...) and sure enough, the "card" is now marked as complete in zube, with a handy hyperlink to the corresponding commit in github. The instant email confirmation ("Ticket #n closed") from Zube could be pretty handy too, as the team grows. Nice work!

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?

Just one board with all the issues from multiple repos would be great! I think keeping non-issue backed tasks seperate makes sense.

Congrats Jen! I remember when you showed me this in it's early stages at Heavybit. It's really come a long ways with features and polish!

Any plans for Gitlab support?

We are definitely interested in adding GitLab support as well as other integrations though I'm not sure when we'll get there.

Good to hear! Let me know if you have any questions, we're happy to help.

Thanks for signing up! We definitely have some work to do with the on boarding flow and documentation, especially around Tickets. Glad to hear you were able to figure it out! :)

A Ticket is a place where you can link together multiple GitHub Issues that doesn't sync with GitHub itself. The Ticket tracks the status of those issues and updates it's status as the issues are worked on. This works great for bug reports that need multiple tasks completed in order to be resolved, for example.

Thanks for the kind words Stephen! We've come a long way since that rickety demo :)

Sounds good! Yes, I agree that the board should really only be for issues.
