desalex··on Show HN: Transform Your GitHub Issues into a Public Roadmap
So this is my second product launch since I left my day job 7 months ago. It aims to let product-oriented companies keep their users informed of what they’re working on and notify them when something new launches or an issue is fixed.

I’m not sure if most companies will want to share what they’re working on or if they prefer it to remain secret, but I do think that it’s important to be honest and transparent with your users (especially when they’re paying you on a recurring basis). Trello seems to agree as they offered a similar feature recently allowing companies to open their boards to the public.

If you have some feedback on the concept or the app itself, I'd be more than glad to hear it!

Very clever :)

Yeah quite a bit, it’s a real lifesaver for people making email templates. Zurb really did a great job on that.

The only downside is that you have to handle a lot of tables. Like tons and tons of tables. That’s why I thought a way to simplify that would be helpful.

That’s an interesting idea! I’ll see if I can open source it so people can play with it. The code is pretty simple, it’s only a couple of regexes.
