Some screenshots or a detailed explanation of how this works would be great. I like the idea of the project, but with out knowing anything about it, I am hesitant to link this with my GitHub account.
Fair enough. More nitty-gritty details coming soon. FYI - I chose a very limited OAuth scope for pre-launch sign up. All I have access to is your email address and public GH profile stuff.

To be determined. The primary use case is for teams building their commercial products, but if it appears open source users could gain value from it then I'm not opposed.
Waffle is a cool product. As a product manager, I've found that task boards are not always the best way to keep my queue organized, so we are taking a bit of a different approach with Codetree.
We developed ZenHub.io [1] with a similar vision - to centralize all our company workflows into GitHub. It's free and already in use by hundreds of happy teams.
This looks promising, and is definitely addressing a real problem. Even our relatively simple product is spread across dozens of private GitHub repos (lots of micro services, shared libraries and infrastructure-as-code repos).
Tracking issues that span repositories is enough of a problem that we had an intern take a stab at building a digraph of issues, with edges being references between issues (e.g., "requires #45"). We open-sourced the work in progress called issue-graph[1]. It has a long way to go before it's useful on it's own, but perhaps OP or others here would find it a useful jumping off point. We're very happy to take feedback.
I'm really looking forward to trying Codetree when it's ready. Derrick, feel free to email me (address in my profile) if you'd like some thoughts on the pain points I see. I would LOVE to pay for a product that addressed them.
GitHub issues are so fundamentally unsatisfactory so that I can't use anything which lives on top of them. For example, it is impossible to remove maliciously or accidentally added issues...

I'd love something like this for my personal projects.

> Any thoughts on pricing for this?
We will likely start in the $9/user/month range.
Thanks for the questions!

It is also free on GitHub[3] if you want to host it yourself.
