Sifter aims to serve teams that have traditionally had a difficult time getting all team members to participate in issue tracking by providing a simple and friendly interface for bug tracking.
Development teams at startups and small businesses to Fortune 50 companies use GitHub, every step of the way.
It allows me to manage and organize myself around the issues I need to do. The simplicity and ease of use of this application is wonderful.
Before using Sifter, we had a haphazard process of emailing bugs from clients, and trying to track them in a spreadsheet. You can probably tell how terrible that was.
Everyone along the process is happy with Sifter. Project managers are happy with how easy it is to create issues, and how easily they can see what the status is.
Sometimes he'll even implement your suggestion instantaneously.
Our developers love it because of the centralized location of all issues, and it lets us integrate with our favorite tools like Github.
No code in issues possible, you can't type HTML in a issue and code snippets don't format.
This was amazing for our small creative agency to ticket projects and keep track of them.
Issues don't get clustered in a hard to read format.
I love that the developers release their projects on there to share with the world. It is really cost efficient for people who don’t have much money to spend but need good quality software.
Sometimes when there is a long pull request it can be quite tedious to look over and see recent changes. Also bad merge operations can cause a world of trouble that is difficult to reverse.
GitHub has great documentation available, it is a great tool for code collaboration and remote collaboration, and provides a nice and simple way to have code and version history available online.
The cons of this is that there is no certainty that each development works well or that it has a bug that may generate a problem or error.
I like how it's easy to use and intuitive, but also offers enough customization for when we need it. I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a good version control software.
The search function is quite often bad. Also a dark mode is missing.
Community is super friendly and it’s a great platform to work on certain coding activities with a group of people.
It also sadly has no mobile app/mobile support at all.
Sebastian B.: I'm Sebastian. I'm the CEO of Toyoko, and I give GitHub five out of five. I've been using SPN and so forth. They were good products, but they were centralized. That's why I switched to GitHub. I started using GitHub because everybody was doing, so I started to check it, and then I saw that it was better, especially from SPN, because I noticed a more distributed workflow. Starting with GitHub was not easy at the beginning, but now when I add somebody to the team to use GitHub, it's way easier because it improved a lot related with tutorial and documentation. So if I have to start from scratch now with GitHub, it would be easy for me. I think that GitHub nowadays is the default software for sharing and building applications. So there's not much to choose, only GitHub and GitLab, and I think that GitHub has way more features, and GitHub is the place where most people will look for your software.
