Thank you for the mention.We built zipBoard with the idea of making it easy to share all that design feedback and converting them to issues and tickets.
We capture all the information and tag comments to the DOM element -screenshot, url, browser and session) with that issue.
Another thing that we do well is ability to even capture small videos, if there is more interaction.
Plus the ability to manage issues for different environments in the same project, staging, dev, live.
We have been suffering as well.And it sucks as there is no support response, just a status page. Clearly, they do not value smaller tech businesses.
We definitely will be looking to migrate to compass, that was long time due.
I don't even understand, why force-fit something and use it for what it is not for. Github is great for shared repository etc.,for devs to collaborate on code. I guess the issues feature is also great for open source repositories to be able to track issues that the devs know about etc, or raising a support issue. But, for internal teams doing dev, there are better tools out there which handle issue tracking well. They need not be linking to the code, but really for most of the issue tracking, there are other important things like to managing priorities, easy assignment, essentially you need a better filtering and a management system that not only devs, but every stakeholder involved can easily use. Github is for devs only (in my opinion). But, issue management involves every stakeholder, so it is best to have it outside of github.
@brudgers thanks for asking. We really started as a review tool for e-learning courses which are primarily html courses. We realized with remote teams and a lot of visual content, it is very hard to share feedback on emails, so zipBoard was born. As we started working on it, we realized that the same is applicable for any web based product that is created. For every iteration, there is a need to gather constant feedback from the stakeholders. It is not always possible to huddle in the same room or to add bug for each feedback. Do share what are your thoughts about the product.
Hi guys,
I am the co-founder for zipBoard. We created zipBoard to bridge the gap between various stakeholders involved in the product development process. You can actually add a URL, browse, take a screenshot and start collaborating on the screenshot. It is that simple!
Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. We have also launched on producthunt today

Look forward to your feedback.
