Hey everyone!

I'm the developer, thanks for the comments so far. I launched the original iPad app (as a learning experience) about a year ago, and received a lot of requests for a Mac app.

One quick problem some people are running into that I'd like to address is organizations. Some people are reporting organization repositories are not being listed for them. If you type in the full repo name (that is: "orgname/reponame") you should still be able to add it, otherwise you can use the "quick open" feature and just paste in a GitHub URL for that repo.

I hope to hear all your thoughts and criticisms. Here are some promo codes for the new Mac app!

I used 6AFA4AFWK7JH. Thanks for the code, trying it out now.

To save everyone some copy/pasting, they've all been redeemed :)

Yeah, I'm definitely intrigued. But. This seems like something that really needs a free demo. I feel like I'm constantly checking out productivity tools like this and I really need to feel whether they actually fit into my workflow before I pay money. Or else it'd simply be too expensive to pay for each one just to try 'em out.

A related thought:

Having a free demo version might actually let you charge more for the full app. If I try something out and it really does save me even just a very small amount of time or headache each day, I'll pay $100 for it. Or more. Making my work life just a little bit easier is worth a substantial amount of money to me. You would be providing a valuable service and I'd pay you well for it.

Something like a one repository limit would work well for me; enough to really get the feel, no real risk since I just revert to the web interface if I don't like it, but if it's good I'd definitely want to use it with more repositories.

Small screenshots, no large ones accesible to see the details, no feature list, and the only way to learn more about the app is to buy it.

It looks very interesting, but I'm not quite sold yet, though I am interested to learn more.

Thank you for the feedback! I actually goofed up when submitting the app, and it went live before I was ready... so I ended up spending last night hacking together the website!

What questions do you have? I'm happy to answer them.

In a situation like this the picture is the seller.

From the screenshot it looks like the UI is very nice, but the picture isn't big enough for me to take it all in and reinforce what my gut is leaning toward.

For me, I just want to see bigger pictures of the actual interface and that would be enough to pick a direction.

I agree, make the logo, um, I mean screenshot bigger!

Rock! I've been hoping for something like this for some time. Bought it instantly.

One thing I have not yet figured out how to do is find issues that have no milestone set. Is that possible?

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'll make sure I add a "No Milestone" filter in the next update.

Thank you, Wonderful idea!

I've tried the Github app, but it's too focused on the SCM - I can do that on the command line, thanks..

But managing bugs, that's something where an app is great!

On my phone, I use Github:Issues- This is a great desktop compliment.

I would like to extend my personal appreciate to the developer for not using the word "beautiful" anywhere in the product copy. Thank you.

I've some feedback for you:

- when opening a repository it doesn't list the private ones. (though you can open it by putting its name manually) - markdown rendering could be better.

Otherwise seems very good so far, If I find anything else I'll let you know.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm aware of the private org repo issue, and I'm looking into it. Hope you're enjoying it so far!

is there a way to put an api key or something? I am not very comfortable putting my password on external apps.

Great looking app, but unfortunately it does not seem to support organizations. This is a huge issue for me, personally.

Are there any plans for org support in the future?

There is support, but there is apparently a bug in some instances. YOu either need to type out the full repo name, or use the "quick open" feature. The bug has to do with the listing of certain repos.

Happy to pay $5 for such a needed product. Thanks.

Quick product feedback:

Needs an open recent or better yet, just open the last repository (I primarily only use 1 on a daily basis).

Other thoughts:

Move search to the title bar.

Closing an edit issue dialog shouldn't prompt if I haven't modified anything.

The issue preview (left column) seems a bit wasteful with space vertically (gap between issue title and authorship + timestamp).

Can it work with Github Enterprise?

GitHub Enterprise is not supported yet, but it has been the most requested feature and is going to be high on my todo list.
