Hi!
I’m Hamid Shojaee, founder of Axosoft and we’ve been hard at work re-inventing how
project management is done for software development.
We’re launching a new product called GitKraken Glo and I can’t wait to show you, so let's
jump right in!
For every new project, in Glo, we make a new board.
For this example, we’ll create a starter board and add a few cards.
While adding cards, if we hold down the CMD or Control (depending on your OS) and hit
Enter, it opens up the details of that card, where we can add a description, and the description
allows markdown!
How cool is that?!
We can drag-and-drop images too!
And add some tasks right here.
We can easily customize the workflow of our board by quickly adding new columns
and dragging-and-dropping columns to rearrange our workflow.
For each board, we can add users.
These users can be anyone with an email address.
They don’t need to be part of our organization, and because access control is on a per-board
basis, every board has its own user security settings.
While we’re here, we can also create some labels we intend to use for this board.
Once we have some users and labels, we can easily assign users and labels to each card.
Each user will then be notified of their cards through Glo’s notification system.
Here is one of my favorite features.
When you’re adding new cards, you can just type @username and #label to automatically
assign this card and add a label, right inside the create new card text box.
Now, lets skip ahead to a more complete board so we can show off some of the power features
that developers will love.
First off, check out the search and filter capabilities.
As we type, we get instantaneous search results!
We can focus on items assigned to a particular user or with a particular label.
If we want to go through a list of items to look at the details, we simply click on the
first one and use the up/down arrow keys to navigate our cards quickly, while looking
at the card details on the right.
This makes it extremely convenient to throw the board up on a screen in a daily standup
or meeting and quickly go through everyone’s assigned tasks.
Then, there’s the integrated access of Glo inside your favorite tools.
From GitKraken, Glo is just a click away on the toolbar.
No additional logging in.
You just click and immediately access your Glo boards.
Inside of Visual Studio Code or Atom, we have Glo plugins that can live side-by-side with
your code.
You get full Glo access inside your favorite editors, so you can write some code here,
and then you can immediately update the card for it here.
No more context switching, causing loss of productivity.
Another of my favorite features of Glo is the ability to Sync a GloBoard with the Issues
in a GitHub repository.
It’s amazing how easy it is to connect your GitHub account and sync up the issues between
Glo and GitHub.
Once you create a new Glo Board for a GitHub Repo, all the changes made in either system,
are immediately reflected in the other system, so not all of your team members need to make
the switch right away.
When you add an Issue in GitHub, boom!
That issue is instantly in Glo.
Add a label in Glo and the label is instantly in GitHub… but not quite a boom, because,
well, you know, GitHub requires a refresh.
And of course, the added benefit of having columns in Glo allows you to get the power
of workflows for your GitHub issues!
And with Glo you can have an unlimited number of boards.
With each board having its own workflows, labels, users and security.
And since each board is completely independent of the other boards, the system is always
blazingly fast!
And we’re just getting started with Glo.
Our roadmap is packed with things to boost developer productivity.
Now here is the best part: everything I have shown you is completely free for non-commercial,
open source projects or even your personal projects.
So get Gloing with GitKraken Glo!
The legendary issue tracker for dev teams!
