Hey Product Hunt 👋,
Since our previous Product Hunt launch, teams have used Zepel to plan and iteratively build hundreds of features together. Developers are able to do all of this without having to bend their existing workflow.
This has enabled teams to build hundreds of features together and complete thousands of tasks and bugs.
Today’s launch is all about doubling down on this and enabling you to track your product development at every step — from a planned feature, all the way to its execution painlessly.
🗒 Introducing Feature Descriptions
The Feature Description allows you to ideate and communicate all the relevant information such as scope, use cases, or high level picture about the feature to your development team. This way, when your development team opens up the feature document in Zepel, they have easy and quick access to all the information — from a feature spec to all the items that need to be worked on.
👩🏻💻 Developer-focussed & Improved Git Integrations
With the latest Git update in Zepel, if a developer creates a new branch called `bug/{squad-key}/bug-fix-name` we’ll automatically create a bug inside your list with title "bug fix name". The same applies to an enhancement, task, and story. Also, if you create a branch called `feature/{squad-key}/feature-name` we’ll create a new feature in Zepel.
Once the feature/items are created, they’re also automatically linked. This means, if you have a Git Workflow setup in Zepel, developers would never have to come back to Zepel to update statuses — it’s all taken care of automatically.
🙋🏻♂️ Introducing Streams
Handing work over from your product team to your engineering team isn’t as easy as it should be.
This becomes even more painful when you have customers, internal teams, and other stakeholders making requests from different channels — help desks, live chat, error tracking tools, and more.
Streams in Zepel lets you:
- collect requests from any tool across your product development stack
- merge and prioritize requests, and
- hand them over to your development team as user stories or bugs or features for development.

With today’s launch of new features and improvements, we’re taking another big step towards being more than just a simple issue tracker.
This way, you can track the progress at every phase of your product development process. After all, your product is more than a collection of isolated issues.
Thoughts/ideas/questions!? Let us know. 🙏🏻
Congrats on the product hunt launch.
Love the fact that you have added streams. It is generally very painful for non technical folks to create tickets on Jira and pass it on to the engineering team. I think this is a very cool way to get this done....
Great going!
Thank you @siddharth_srinivasan. Glad you like Zepel Streams 😁 We really believe it will change the way Non Tech teams collaborate with Engineering teams.
Hi Zepel! Loved the progress tracking in the first version and you guys have just enhanced that to the next level as well. Highly recommend. Please keep up the good work.
