Really awesome. Will try it out with Github, but BitBucket would be much appreciated. :)
John Kirk
@dnuzum Thanks! Would love the feedback on the GitHub integration. We have HipChat connect integration nearing completion, and we are looking at tying in with BitBucket as well - if you drop me a message through the in-app feedback buttons I'll be sure to get back to you and keep you posted about BitBucket!
Richard Prieto
@dnuzum BitBucket is definitely on the roadmap. We're already working toward a more comprehensive Atlassian tie in and we'll be sure to keep you up to date on the latest!
Derek Nuzum
@richardaprieto Ooooo. Even more Atlassian? Now you're getting me way too excited.
Richard Prieto
@dnuzum if you're a HipChat enthusiast, we'll have something cool to share with you very soon ;)
John Kirk
@dnuzum Derek do you also happen to use JIRA?

Looks cool I made GIF
John Kirk
@nivo0o0 The GIF looks great! We were hoping to get one in to our media/image vs the static images. We love seeing GitHub issues and Trello cards working harmoniously together :) And seeing it live looks so much cooler, thanks for sharing and updating on our content page. EDIT: thanks for getting this as our main pic!

@jakirk42 @nivo0o0 Nice idea but that gif seems overly complicated
John Kirk
@justi84 we definitely have a lot going on in it - was from our overview video where it has more context. But @nivo0o0 made it for us and did a far better job than I would have done :)

Hey, thanks Ben! Rick here, Co-Founder of Cnverg. We've been hard at work adding a great new integration to our app with Trello that we're very excited about it. You can import multiple Trello boards to a space and turn your tasks into interactive cards. Combined with our GitHub integration, this makes Cnverg a powerful visual planning tool for product development teams. We've also included several new teams features and a whole bunch of UI upgrades.
Ben Tossell
Tell us what the big updates are since launching last year
John Kirk
@bentossell Teams and Trello are the two main ones, plus a complete redesign of the App. We're finding adoption primarily with distributed product development teams that use visual planning (e.g., whiteboarding, sticky walls, kanban boards). They're primarily using GitHub/Trello/Asana/JIRA/Pivotal as project management tools, and we want to give them an environment where they can plan and prioritize before they manage projects, allowing them to increase their team velocity. We've got a couple specials exclusive for Product Hunt that we'll be posting shortly, pouring coffee now :)
Zac Pappis
This has been really useful for real-time collaboration, especially as a layer on top of visually-lackluster tools. I've used it to triage activity on GitHub and now I'm excited to see that Trello is a supported integration. Great job John and Cnverge team!
Richard Prieto
@zacpappis thank you so much for the kind words! Also, I should tell you that we've been secretly working on a set of templates and workflows around the Traction methodology. We should have something ready to demonstrate very soon. Stay tuned!
John Kirk
@zacpappis thanks for the feedback! We'll look forward to getting your take on the Trello integration. I'm imagining an exercise that starts with a Business Model Canvas with whiteboarding/stickies to map out, then changes them into GitHub issues and Trello cards once they're fleshed out, and then the whole space gets "cloned" and a team goes through a Traction exercise with Bullseye. Can't wait to hear your thoughts
Paige Paquette
Congrats to Rick and John on the launch! Great work.
John Kirk
@paigepaquette Thanks Paige! We're looking forward to continuing to expand our V1, and can't wait to dig into the ZenHub API!
Richard Prieto
@paigepaquette thank you so much! We're very excited to see what teams do with ZenHub+GitHub+Cnverg!
Brandon Gleklen
Congrats to John and the rest of the Converg team. I've known John for a while now and they've put a lot of thought into this update. The Teams feature + integration with Trello are really stellar, and they've made a bunch of improvements with GitHub as well. Teams large and small should give it a shot!
John Kirk
@brandongleklen Thanks so much! We're thrilled to get Teams and Trello out in the wild. And we'd love introductions to any Product teams in your portfolio companies who are distributed, or using GitHub or Trello (especially teams using both). Please send any colleagues our way, we'll have some great specials today :)
Richard Prieto
@brandongleklen thank you for your tremendous support!

I kid you not when I say that around new year, I envisioned a tool able to allow you to integrate with Trello and categorize tasks just like you did here: I envisioned something like an axis per goal (a goal being a groups of tasks), also providing a place to visualize the multiple goals and how they organize something of a mix between that image and Lattice's functionality https://www.producthunt.com/tech... Kudos for building this.
Richard Prieto
@joantune thank you for the feedback. Being able to sort, categorize and prioritize along multiple axes is something that's been missing from project management applications since...well, forever really. Please let me know if you'd like a private demo. I'd be happy to show you how to get the most value out of Cnverg.
