Teamwise makes your orgs GitHub activity more actionable

Hi everyone!

I found myself hacking a webapp together using GithHub's REST api in order to have better vision and control over my team's activity:

  • see a whole team's ongoing assignments in the same screen
  • highlight the issues and pull requests that seem to be stalling and need action
  • compile activity data into additional charts for a quick understanding of the trends (velocity, progress)

I immediately saw that it could help others, and started putting around one hour a day into a MVP. I think the current version is now in a good shape to be used by anyone.

There are requirements in order for Teamwise to be useful to you:

  • must have a github account
  • you must be using github issues within an organization account

Teamwise is opiniated, especially now since there's still no way to customize your experience, so you will have the full experience if:

  • you are using cross-repositories projects
  • you use milestones
  • you assign issues to people, and request reviews to teams

The next phases of the project is to add customization with labels (i.e. manage priorities and effort with labels, set up their meaning on teamwise), and find more ways to add value to GitHub's data (charts, alerts, etc).

Thanks for your interest. This is the first time I share this baby to the public, I can not wait to have all the feedback needed at this point to make this truly useful to many.

    Your listing it's limitations, but not what it does 😅
    what does 'using cross-repositories projects' mean?
    your landing page should have an image of an example dashboard so we can see what it is
    Do I really need to look at a dashboard or can you just send me a notification when "issues and pull requests that need attention"?

    (not personally for me, just trying to help with some feedback)

      This is very good feedback! I already had in mind replacing the images with actual screenshots. Thank you so much, I hope to improve the landing page over the weekend.

    I would rewrite your header to something like this:

    H1 Team collaboration & activity built on GitHub

    H2 Plan, analyze and act on your team’s work in GitHub from a handy dashboard.

    The idea is not new, and I know I am not going to rant about this but I think your website needs more structure - here are some pointers that will make your website more interesting to your audience.

    # Do you address a struggle the user is facing?
    # Do you provide a solution?
    # Do you mention the current way of doing the thing you're fixing?
    # Do you highlight the stress caused by the problem?
    # Do you mention what will cost your user by not adopting your solution?

      Thank you for the feedback! Your points will be very useful to better represent the value I want to give to the users.
      I am aware there are other products in this space, and am not pretending teamwise is groundbreaking or better; I think that there is still space in this field and that the different approach that I target with teamwise can interest a chunk of the users on this market.

        @vgrafe indeed I agree and like I said, the idea isn't important but 80% is execution so let's start by executing a more structured homepage!
