BIg Github updates today: - Trello like project management baked into Github - Better code reviews - GraphQL based API - Security improvements It looks like Christmas is early this year.

To be honest, I'm using Trello for quite some time now, Github's version of it is nothing like that. It's still "primitive" in contrast to Trello
Andreas Mitschke
@feketegy but it is a start and I can see it succeeding somewhen.

@feketegy at Product Hunt we also are using Trello, but funny enough today we were discussing that we don't actually need it.
George Fekete
@andmitsch certainly, i'm hoping to include the Projects API into my own app next to Trello :)
Chris Messina
@feketegy is there an API?
Andrew Mutavdzija
@andmitsch "somewhen" may be the best non-word word I've ever read. Will be using it!

Github clearly feeling the pressure from Gitlab who released this feature a few weeks back...and its still better.
Yurii Habrusiev
@shaundunne maybe GitLab released it quicker. Such feature takes a lot of time to implement
Jonathan Cremin
@yuriihabrusiev @shaundunne GitLab is entirely open source, so it's easy to see how quickly they shipped it. It's anyone's guess when GitHub started work on theirs. I know which model I prefer.

Ouch - sorry Zenhub. edit: looks like they may be partnering w/ Zenhub on some of the functionality?
Paige Paquette
@switmer777 Hey Steve. We got early access to the API and are integrating with Projects from day 1. Other than that, we're continuing to work hard on advanced features for enterprise teams (some of which we previewed on the GitHub stage!) https://www.zenhub.com/blog/disp...
Steve Witmer
@paigepaquette Awesome. Well my team and I love your product, so keep up the good work. :)

Love the screenshots made specifically for the Product Hunt team. As a PM, I am really looking forward to ditching JIRA as soon as I can, and this is a step towards my goal. Congrats on the launch!
João Gonçalves
@theoblochet Me as well. But until you get half the features available on Trello, it'll take time. Now imagine JIRA's level of complexity. But again, probably some add-ons will save the day.

Founder of Zube here. GitHub Projects is going to be very useful for small teams. Also, really excited to see how open source projects will use it. It could add some much needed visibility into their road maps and what they're currently working on. That said, GitHub Projects is not going to be a great solution for everyone, particularly larger teams. If you're doing serious project management with GitHub you'll greatly benefit from a more full featured tool like the one we make! Zube - https://zube.io

@jenniferdewalt ouch. good luck!

@jenniferdewalt Thanks for posting this - I'm going to take a look.

We've been using ZenHub at work for the last few weeks, and my main problem with all of these repository based approaches is that there's no longer a single, prioritized view into all of a person's current tasks, if their work spans multiple repos. Ideally, on a sprint, you're just going to be working on one repo, but what if bug fix comes up for different part of the project that has its own repo? Is that supported in GitHub Projects? Other than putting every task into a single repo, regardless of where the code for it lies, the only other option here seems to be to go with an independent project management solution like Wrike.
Chris Balt
@joostschuur Bingo. I wish somebody (ZenHub?) would solve this.
Tony Russo
@joostschuur Founder of Use Kanban here (www.usekanban.com) - come give it a try. You can create as many Kanbans as you want under the same project and each kanban can be connected to Github (or not connected to anything) and soon Gitlab and Bitbucket. Our goal is to allow users to use whatever git platform they want or even multiple at the same time but also collaborate on the same project with non-techies (marketing, sales, etc.) who want a kanban view but not git. We also have a Table view of the same tasks/issues and a Dashboard with Analytics of Team Performance. Furthermore, you can see all tasks assigned to you under one tab, whichever project or repo they're coming from.
Paige Paquette
Hiya @joostschuur. Have you checked out ZenHub's multi-repo boards? Those solve the problems you're describing. https://www.zenhub.com/blog/mult...
Abhishek Biswal
Woah. Exactly what I wanted. KANBAN! Also, it makes so much sense for Github to have a tool like this for repositories, it's an all tools in one package thing. Bitbucket had JIRA, but it wasn't tied together like this. One more reason to not look at Gitlab, yet.
Marie Malikova
Great for review and manage codes! Also, TMetric perfectly integrates with GitHub. I use it for tracking time spent on code review https://www.capterra.com/p/14862...
soylakate
@yulia_moskaliuk We also use GitHub in connection with TMetric https://tmetric.com/integrations... The team is happy with both tools!

Sadly, there still no time tracking or estimation capabilities :(
João Gonçalves
@y8 Toggl or Harvest will probably update their extensions to support GitHub projects.
