This is a really cool way to get a nice feeling about doing something dull. Great work!
I wonder how easy it would be to integrate with e.g. Jira using your Zapier integration. Sounds to me like a great hackathon project.

Thanks! We created some templates for popular tools to make that easier. For example, for JIRA we have these https://zapier.com/apps/quboo/integrations/jira-software.
The biggest limitation here is in the set of fields provided by JIRA in its Zapier integration. For example, for many actions it is not possible to see what was the user who triggered the action. Trello, on the other hand, is easier to link because it exposes this field.

I've been digging into your documentation and I'm quite impressed by the amount of info provided.
The most interesting part for me is the ability to create my own games. So I can introduce my own metrics to not only favor the resolution of Sonar violations, but also reward things like having a low rate of sonar violations per line of code, low number of tasks rejected during validation, etc.
Do you have any plans for expanding it in the future?

Thanks! Yes, we have plans to add some features like player profiles and custom badges.
My name is Moises and I am the founder of Quboo, a gamification platform that helps increase motivation of software development teams by spicing up the boring processes.
In Quboo, developers and teams can climb the leader board by following the good practices that you want to promote.
Out of the box integrations:
- Sonarqube: You can promote removing technical debt, getting rid of security vulnerabilities, or writing unit tests for legacy code. - Slack: Colleagues can reward each other with some points just by reacting with certain emoji to their message. Kudos for completing some paperwork or boring stuff.
Custom integrations:
- Zapier: Create your own game in this automation tool. For example grant some points for finishing a task in Trello. - API: Create any game you want.
Here you can see the leader boards of a demo account: https://quboo.io/jXoRnjewkUhz/players (logged-in users can manage campaigns, teams, settings and more).
I would love to hear your feedback about this project!
