Show HN: HubDesk – Receive and respond to emails with GitHub Issues

Hey HN! HubDesk is a Github App that allows you to create Github issues from emails. You can also respond to those emails with an issue comment that starts with "@reply". It saves and add links to the issues for any attachments as well. I built HubDesk for a few reasons.

#1. It was a product I wished existed. Having run engineering teams for small startups, it's always nice to have one less thing to manage and Github issue was my bug tracking of choice. However, it was always difficult to get non-developers to create accounts and submit bugs or help desk requests with Github. HubDesk solves this problem by letting people without Github accounts send emails to create Github issues.

#2. I wanted a side-project that would let me dive deep into React, state management without Redux, Next.js, Tailwind, and Firebase. The app uses Firestore with Firebase triggers to coordinate the interactions of Github, Mailgun, Firebase Storage, and Stripe.

#3. I wanted a side-project I would actually finish and the scope of this project was just right :)

HubDesk is still new and I'm looking for any early/test users to try it out. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
