issue.sh – ZenHub alternative that doesn't ask for access to code

In plain words

issue.sh is a project management tool designed for developers and teams who want issue tracking without granting access to their source code. Launched in 2017, it offers an alternative to platforms like ZenHub that require repository permissions. The tool is built for teams prioritizing privacy and separation between project management and code repositories, making it suitable for developers who prefer to keep these systems independent.
