Clean, polished interface with kanban board and birds-eye view

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…

Better GitHub integration and two-way sync than alternatives
From 2 comments
Great question! JIRA is highly configurable so if your company has a lot of custom requirements, that might be the way to go. Zube provides a lightweight, Agile workflow out of…

Fast loading compared with Waffle and ZenHub
From 2 comments
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…
quaunaut on HNWe'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…

Requests broad GitHub repo permissions, including write access to private repos
From 1 comment
This looks really cool and is something I would love to check out, but the permissions of the actual app seem pretty high. For us, our code is stored in a private repository with…

Multiple repos on one board

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…
jenniferDewalt on HNYep, 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.
jenniferDewalt on HNThanks for the kind words! We started with GitHub because that's what we know and love but down the road we'd love to add more integrations like BitBucket. Multiple repo views is…

Hour-based or point estimates stored as GitHub labels
From 3 comments
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?
alexwebb2 on HNIt's critical to have point estimates available in Github. Zenhub, Codetree, Waffle, and others are moving to sync issue point estimation with integer labels in Github. We…
kwiens on HNIf in hours, then implement it as combobox with predefined list of standard estimates (1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 2d, 3d, 1w, 2w, 3w, 1m, 2m, 3m, 6m, 1y).

Can I add non-technical people to Zube, without giving them access to repos on Github?

How does it compare to Waffle.io?
kvark on HNWhy would one pick Zube of Jira? (I am about to implement Jira - are you mature enough to compete against Jira, thus shall I eval Zube V Jira? or diff use case?)
