There are lots of little nice features such as the convenient, and most importantly – short, first-time demo that takes you around the settings menu to set up Github integration etc. When your product is being favorably compared to Slack, that’s usually a good sign. The last application I can remember that made me feel like this was Slack. I haven’t used software which pleasantly surprised me by having completely unexpected features that “just worked” in quite a while. But most of it is about how excellent their UX is, and after a few weeks of using it, I actually have to agree. It almost turned me off to the product at first. Their advertising is really quite ridiculous. I’ve been actually quite pleased so far and wanted to share my thoughts on it! As a result, when I heard about GitKraken I was eager to give it a try. I’ve been in the market for a Git client that was as useful and intuitive as HG Workbench for quite a while now. I’ve also found Github Desktop to be very nice, but a bit limited when it comes to repositories with lots of local branches (not a common use-case on Github repositories, but I encounter it a lot at work.) I hear that SourceTree on mac is excellent, but I’ve not had the same experience with their Windows client. Since I’ve recently been having lots of issues with Atlassian’s SourceTree for Windows, and have never particularly cared for the UI. So I recently saw the 1.0 release announcement of Axosoft’s GitKraken.
