Show HN: Bringing Pull Requests to Ship, a macOS native client for GitHub Issues

EDIT: as pointed out by Prefinem below, using the "Logout" feature uninstalls all webhooks: https://www.realartists.com/docs/2.0/uninstall.html

Like another use said, I would rather pay once and receive updates than a monthly subscription. I know that you are using your own servers to pull information, but I don't know why that is even necessary. I would rather have an app that doesn't pass any information through a third party server.

I also ran into a problem when trying to create a milestone for a repo (this was the second milestone I was creating with the app) and it locked up.

Other than that, it's extremely nice, and if you ever made it into a one time purchase, I would probably pick it up right away.

EDIT: Just a couple of notes. I tried out a couple of other applications to compare features (since I can see how nice managing issues, etc from a single app is compared to the website) and I have to say that Ship is by far the nicest out of the bunch.

Either way, I will be keeping my eye on Ship because I really enjoyed it for the most part and it is better than the alternatives I found IMO. Keep up the good work!

But, it's really great to see work being done on an intuitive native interface for this sort of thing. Major props for the write-up on the security of the tool, too. Lots of transparency there as to how the tool works under the hood, and it sounds like you've put a lot of thought into how that should work.

Why?

It is the monthly subscription fee. If I stop paying then I lose functionality. I'd rather pay $50 or something and get regular updates and continued functionality than $5 a month.

Yes, I know, I already pay GitHub $7/mo, but I can't get paying monthly for a client app.

The first link in the blog post should really link to the home page. A download link is unexpected and unwelcome for someone who's trying to figure out what Ship is for the very first time.

Trials have been reset, so if you looked at Ship earlier, feel free to give it a fresh look on us!

We'll be in the thread and would love to hear your feedback.

How many email "clients" have launched in the last few years, only to be shutdown without any future use possible because they all had a hidden server component?

So you get to pay almost as much as most people will pay for all of GitHub, for an app that's tied to another company being around, with the bonus that they get to see all your private repos?

I know a lot of people won't see any issue with this, and that this is "normal" for them, but this is most definitely not "normal" for me, and it pains me that so many people accept this as "normal".
