This looks really interesting. I'm excited to see someone is working to bring GitHub to iOS.<p>Looking at the screenshots, it looks like it could use some UI polish (<a href="http://worqshop.com/" rel="nofollow">http://worqshop.com/</a>). For now, this will keep me from dropping $5 on this. My primary use case would be writing text (not code), and for that I value the great UI/UX of iA Writer over being able to save directly to GitHub.<p>I'd be curious to hear what other common use cases there are for this. In addition to writing text (Jekyll-powered blog), I might use this to make quick fixes on the go or review issues/pull requests.<p>It seems like actually writing significant amounts of code on the iPad is probably not a common use case. I refuse to believe this is productive compared to using a real computer with multitasking, Vim/emacs/Sublime Text, etc.<p>Anyway, if this were my app I'd focus on making the experience great for doing issues/pull requests and typing text (in comments on the aforementioned or in files). I wouldn't focus on actually writing code. But it's clearly not my app :)<p>In any case, great work -- I'm looking forward to seeing this app progress.

The website's meta viewport is fixed and explicitly disallows pinch and zoom gestures and you want to sell IOS apps?<p>Dude doesn't get IOS usability. At all.

Does it support the iPad 1? I'd have bought it right now if it had a dark theme + coffeescript highlighting (currently making up most of my work).

These products and others allowing one to save text or code to Github seem to be begging for Github to introduce a staging feature in the API. It would allow saving code Into an intermediate uncommitted state, but could even be implementing as a lightweight stash-like feature. A set of changes could be individually stored or just committed through UI/API.

This seems fantastic, makes me wish I had an iPad. I love the option for side by side web browser and code (especially in landscape).<p>It would be great if there was an option for side by side SSH session and code editor, that way you could push and then check on the remote build (for people that have such setups).

Do you think the rubberband bounce-back effect is slightly too violent? Maybe the bounce back animation timing curve could be ease-out?<p>Otherwise, looks like an awesome app!

I was going to buy it, but it requires iOS 6. Shame.

You should change your appstore name to "Worqshop, a github client for iPhone" then you will show up in iOS spotlight searches for github

Site doesn't seem to be browsable on my iPad? Was trying to check out anything besides the main page and I couldn't.

Does this support organizations?
