Ask HN: What's your favorite GitHub-enabled kanban board?

3 points by NateDad ↗ HN
A quick search shows several competitors in the space, but it's not immediately clear what the key differentiators are. The all have GitHub issue integration, i.e. there's a 1:1 mapping between moving a card to done and closing an issue. Are there other features people have found valuable that exist in one vs. another?

Could you list some of the ones you've looked at?
NateDad
Sorry, was trying to avoid biasing the results. Looked at waffle.io, zenhub, huboard, blossom.io... Some others. Google kanban github and a bunch come up.

I've tried:

* HuBoard (https://huboard.com/)

* Waffle.io (https://waffle.io/)

* SweepBoard (http://sweepboard.com/)

* ZenHub.io (https://www.zenhub.io/)

but I'm not using any of them. There was one more, but can't recall it. I will add it here when I remember what it was.

Edit: Found it, although it's a Chrome Extension.

Edit 2: I missed:

* TaskTub (http://tasktub.com/)

and just found:

* Blossom.io (https://www.blossom.io/)

* Gitban (http://www.gitban.com/) - looks good, but like a work-in-progress demo/MVP

NateDad
Yeah I saw the chrome extension, not really into that.

Blossom looked pretty good, but wasn't sure about if it might be too feature heavy and cause too much time bring spent on the tool rather than work.
kolev
Agreed. I wish Gitban was more than a demo as it looks pretty clean and simple.
NateDad
Waffle.io looked good, but maybe too simple. I will probably start there and see if there are any missing pieces...

Kanbanery, native GitHub integration as well as Zapier.
