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!
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.
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.
- 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.
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.
