Nice, well done done on the UI, I have a few issues though.

1. I shouldn't need to sign up with your service, this also makes me distrust the product.

2. There is no Gitlab login option.

3. It looks to be written in Javascript and thus uses a lot of resources: http://imgur.com/a/uEH4U

So it's not /really/ a desktop app, it looks like it's just a chrome wrapper for some javascript?

It seems weird to me that in this day and age people would be making negative comments about an app with this one's functionality being written in JavaScript/ecmascript. This app looks awesome and performs well on my platform, not sure if I'll continue to use it over the CLI client but so far I'm impressed.
