Yup, I love GH, use it every day, but issue management is the pits.

It'd be really nice if I could custom sort the queue of issues so that I know what's next up in my queue of things to do; right now I've got 5 tags called NextUp:1 -> NextUp:5 on each repo; this takes way more manual updating than a simple drag/drop widget.

Like they mentioned, having a voting system would be super useful for knowing what matters -- I cringe every time I leave a +1, so I've gotten into the habit of at least adding a comment after it --- but the premise and the pain are the same.

We created ZenHub - https://www.zenhub.io/ - specifically to solve these problems.

The addition of a task board in the GitHub interface allows you to communicate both the priority and progress of GitHub issues.

While adding a +1 button to comments allows feedback without clutter.

Best of all, it is free for Open Source :)

You can read more on why we created ZenHub here - https://medium.com/axiom-zen/introducing-zenhub-2-0-c352a12c... and get in touch with us via our public support repo here - https://github.com/zenhubio/support

I hope we can help improve your GitHub experience!

I agree with voting.

I also think that voting systems should only have /positive/ inputs. (I agree with the content of a given statement/post). Negatives belong as a concretely expressed /contrasting opinion/ which can, it's self, be 'agreed with' (voted for).
