I would like feedback on 
- whether the value proposition of the product is clear
- whether the design inspires trust that the product will be well executed

Thank you!

Hi David, nice idea.

The one question I'd ask though is why give you access to a GitHub repository? My first thought on the proposition is, why?

It would be far better if you make it work locally. Especially with a lot of developers working remotely now, it would be good to have a client attach realtime to give feedback and copy changes. I can't see the benefit of giving a platform GitHub access beyond that, however much privacy is a said focus. Maybe a video would help sell it better.

Also does it work with modern front-end frameworks? Such as Vue and with static framework like Gridsome or Gatsby.

Seeing a lot of ideas like this at the moment, and you're definitely coming at it at a different angle, which is good. Not sure it would be something I'd, unless you can figure out the local functionality and a realtime element.

Simple design always inspires trust for me. Nicely done.

Hope that helps.

Hey Jack!
Thanks for taking the time to check out codebird and give me feedback!

I can definitely see the value add of working locally and it might be something to add in the future. While developers are a target customer I think a bigger painpoint can be solved is to enable non technical team members being able to make product changes. I need to connect to github to allow the previous to happen without a local dev environment.

Also does it work with modern front-end frameworks? Such as Vue and with static framework like Gridsome or Gatsby.

Yes it should work with any website stored in github without any codebase changes
