> Waffle operates as a lean startup - we're moving fast and our product is, too. We're now a full time team (Waffle was originally a summer intern project) operating as an Enterprise Lean Startup within Rally Software. We've pivoted Waffle's direction a bit based on customer need, but we haven't yet launched our new landing page to reflect our learnings.

Absolutely everything in those sentences sounded corporatey. 350+ characters to basically say "We're working on a new landing page".

This is not criticism, because either way I'm not your target audience, but I do hope you have some sense of self-awareness.


Edit: We're working on a new landing page that we think does a better job of describing what our product does and is responsive and mobile friendly: http://screencast.com/t/IZnoWChXyQ

At the risk of sounding too "corporatey" again, but to answer the original question of what Waffle does: Yes, Waffle is a kanban-style, "Trello-like" board view of your GitHub Issues. Waffle allows you to effectively use GitHub Issues more effectively for project management (for instance, the board view helps with prioritizing work and visualizing what in progress. You can also do things like view all of your Issues across multiple GitHub repositories on a single board.)

Waffle uses GitHub Issues as your board's data model, so any changes you make in GitHub are also reflected on your Waffle board (for example, we'll move issues into the "Done" column of your board when you merge any commits into your default branch that use the fixes/solves/closes GitHub Issues syntax.) We're working towards automating even more movement of Issues across your Waffle board based on actions you already take in GitHub.


Congratulation, you don't understand people at all. You wrote all this non-constructive frothy reply without answering the fundamental question holyjaw put forth: > I have literally no clue what your product does even after reading the infographic at the top of the page a few times.


Tank you.
