Thanks so much for all the love, HN! I'll do my best to address everyones' questions in one post:<p>1) Cross-platform support: ZenHub for Firefox, Safari, and mobile is <i>coming soon</i> - how soon depends on how much our current user-base wants more platform support vs big features we have spec'd out. No worries here :)<p>2) GitHub API rate limit: GitHub has worked with us to lift the API request rate limit for users that need it, we're also limiting the GitHub API calls we do have to make with caching systems and other tactics, for eg disabling polling when you're not looking at the board. TLDR: we have no worries here either.<p>3) Major GitHub UI updates: these do have the potential to break some functionality, but our major feature (the Boards) is pretty robust. Also, we're really fast and can react to GitHub's changes within minutes if not hours. We're now working with GitHub to get a heads up on changes that may affect our product, so again - no worries.<p>4) Transitioning from Huboard / other tools: should be painless: you can even use both products in parallel during the transition period and pick the one you like best (hint: it'll be ours!)<p>5) Errors with our homepage (zenhub.io): we're fixing issues as quick as they pop up, bear with us :)<p>6) Other comments or requests: please vote on feature requests by creating new Issues or +1'ing existing Issues on our public GitHub support repo: <a href="https://github.com/zenhubio/support/issues" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/zenhubio/support/issues</a>
Wow, this seems like a cool product. I can't imagine building a product that relies so heavily on the UI of another service. How are updates handled?
For me, that page is lagging like crazy (although other tabs work fine). Also, this is another good example of a headline that doesn't state anything about what the product actually does.<p>Going further down the page does make it more clear though.
Just some honest feedback regarding pricing.<p>I think this looks really cool, and may give it a spin. However, not sure I can justify the charge for my team. I currently pay $25 for a Bronze GitHub Organization plan [1], and while I'm the main developer for the site, I do have a team of volunteers that contribute to the source whenever they can, about 10-15 of us total.<p>So I would be looking at $50-$75 for an extension to a product I'm only paying $25 for at the moment. Just seems a little imbalanced.<p>Of course, I realize I'm an edge case, as most teams of this size will be paid team members in an established startup or company, but it still seems even these companies may find it odd to pay more for an extension vs. what they might pay for the base product.<p>Why not base your tiers similar to GitHub, charging by the number of repos instead of the number of users?<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/pricing" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pricing</a>

Whenever I click on any link in the top navigation menu I get a javascript error in Chrome :<p>Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined
We have been using ZenHub for quite a while and have to say that it has been a great change from Trello. As a developer, I was already in Github all the time, so adding the pipeline process within Github is awesome.<p>It hasn't been without it's issues, but I would highly recommend trying it out.
This is rad, however, echoing others it does seem a bit risky to trust that Github won't swap out. For stuff like boards, it'd be nice to have an option sync with Trello. Worst case scenario all of the data is there and usable without a lot of fuss.
We already use huboard. It would be nice if this transition from huboard to ZenHub was more seamless. For now, I'm told that I need to create another board and I'm not entirely sure how this will affect our huboard setup..
I wrote how we use ZenHub at our startup here:
