Questions:

1) Why would I want people submitting a request through this application rather than just using Github issues tracking? Using them would create an additional channel of communication that I now have to not only check but sync. Rather have one channel of communication for my projects

2) I don't see anywhere that the questions and answer will be share with the community like they are with StackOverflow. Why would I want to hide valuable information behind a curtain that no one can see unless they sign up?

3) I personally see no benefit for a CLI interface. I don't see the value in learning a non-standard interface just to get help with something. Yea I can see the "look this is cool" factor, but honestly, I think that's all it is.

I can't even count how many of these startups have come and gone since the time I've been on Hacker News. They never seem to be around long and, quite honestly, I don't think the creators get that they are fixing something that isn't broken.
