The site lets you download the app, run the app, log in to GitHub, and _THEN_ asks you for a beta invite code. There's almost no info about it on it's homepage, so why post the link at all?
Is this a fully native app, or is it storing my stuff on your server?<p>Can I back up tags / whatever that I make, and will they sync between multiple devices?<p>Is the app open-sourced? Will it be? Are you planning to charge for the app? For premium features?<p>Most importantly, why are the features you're providing going to improve my experience with GitHub?<p>These are all questions I'd expect the landing page to answer.
I'm confused: GitHub already has an app for the Mac[0]. It's fast. It's compact & doesn't waste screen real estate. It's stable. And it's updated very frequently.<p>Sure, it may not have all the features that the site has but it excels at being that convenience bridge between what's on my filesystem and what's on the site.<p>[0] <a href="https://mac.github.com" rel="nofollow">https://mac.github.com</a>
This seems like it should be a dead simple chrome/safari extension. Not an app.<p>The only thing this app appears to do is let you "tag" repositories.
I like the functionality, but I'm not keen on the title of this post or the fact that it's an app only.<p>If you like the app, though, you might want to check out Astral (<a href="https://astralapp.com" rel="nofollow">https://astralapp.com</a>). Extremely similar functionality, but Astral runs in your browser.
I signed up for the beta because I always like trying out new stuff. But I'm lost on how this would be better than just opening github.com in my browser.<p>I guess the main value-add I could see would be notifications when people open issues, send PRs, or fork repos of mine. Does this app display them?
