On: Show HN: Feature voting for GitHub

[Ecco]

Shamelessly advertising your own product, heh? ;-) (GitHub seems to believe you work a Bountysource: https://github.com/wkonkel)

Anyway, you're right, it is similar. FeatHub doesn't require an extension though, so you can just point your users to your project's voting page.

[Fogest → Ecco]

Bountysource doesn't require you to use another website though. You stick to using Github and get some added functionality.

It apparently requires a browser extension. Is that actually better? I'd rather direct my customers to a third-party site I have a relationship with than ask them to install a plugin.

(Disclaimer: I have no product or customers to worry about, just musing)

[bhousel → vollmond]

You don't need to install the plugin with Bountysource to use it - it just adds a handy button and counter to the issue list.

You can still direct users to the Bountysource page for your project if that's what you prefer.

(I'm not associated with Bountysource at all - I just think it's pretty good at what it does).

It's also available on the web for any project, for example:
