What it does

HubDesk lets you receive and respond to emails with Github issues. HubDesk creates issues for each new inbound email thread and you can respond to the sender with an issue comment that starts with **@reply**. It can be used for bug reports or as a help desk.

Install the HubDesk Github app for your organization or user account. Then create an inbox that links an incoming email address to a Github repository. Forward your email address to HubDesk and HubDesk will create Github issues for each new email thread. Start an issue comment with @reply to send that comment as an email back to the customer. HubDesk creates regular Github issues. Any tool or integration that works with Github Issues also works with HubDesk. HubDesk can replace ticket tracking and shared inbox tools that can cost $50 or more per user. Connect unlimited email addresses to personal Github repositories. Connect unlimited email addresses to Github organizationfrom hubdesk.io

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
