The Problem You're Ignoring

GitHub crashes. Hackers strike. AWS burns down. In seconds, your entire project history—every bug report, every feature request, every critical discussion—vanishes into the void. Forever. No recovery. No second chances.

GitHub Outage - March 2024

"We are investigating reports of degraded performance for GitHub.com..."

Duration: 4 hours 23 minutes
Impact: API unavailable, data inaccessible

AWS US-East-1 Down - December 2023

"Multiple AWS services experiencing issues in US-EAST-1 region..."

Duration: 6 hours 45 minutes
Impact: 30% of internet services affected

Manual Export Hell - Daily

"Even in 2024 we have to do it manually" - GitHub Developer

Time: 2+ minutes per issue
Impact: Hours wasted weekly

When GitHub AND Your Backup Provider Both Use AWS...

You're not protected. You're just paying for the same single point of failure twice. True disaster recovery means geographic and infrastructure diversity.

GitHub needs to increase the urgency of this request. It's mind boggling that this feature does not exist.

Really this feature is very much needed... every now and then bosses ask for list of pending / completed issues and even in 2024 we have to do it manually ... thats absurd

As a PM, I would like to be able to download my team's issues in order to triage the backlog in a more robust project management tool than Github offers (like a spreadsheet!).

Been waiting 3+ years for GitHub to add basic CSV export. Meanwhile our compliance team needs monthly reports and I'm stuck copy-pasting hundreds of issues manually.

This is 2024 and GitHub still doesn't have issue export? Every other tool has this basic functionality. My team wastes hours each sprint creating reports manually.

Embarrassing that a platform this mature lacks such fundamental export capabilities. We've resorted to scraping with scripts - not exactly sustainable or reliable.

I too would love the ability to easily export my issues into a spreadsheet to analize the requests from a macro view. Currently I have 5 pages of issues in a project under development and I have to go page by page to print and then the format is pretty ugly

For our audit compliance we have to provide exports of issues to the auditor, it is very painful to take screenshots of each page of results for each repository. The auditor has also complained they cannot easily make sample selections from screenshots

I'm surprised this isn't a feature yet. Especially since DevOps and GitHub are both owned by Microsoft now and integrate. DevOps can export a lot easier than GitHub.

A Note from the Founder

Hey, I'm Lars. I built this after losing 2 years of issues during a GitHub outage in 2023.

The pain was real. Have you ever tried to export GitHub issues? It's a nightmare. No built-in export, clunky APIs, rate limits everywhere. I spent days writing scripts just to get my data out in a readable format. And that's if GitHub is even accessible.

I searched everywhere for a simple backup solution. Everything was either enterprise-complex or hosted on AWS (same infrastructure as half the internet). So I built what I needed: dead-simple, real-time backups to infrastructure that won't fail when GitHub does.

This isn't some VC-funded moon shot. It's a simple tool that does one thing well: keeps your issues safe. I just want to help people who've faced the same frustrations I did. No feature creep, no enterprise upsells, just reliable backups for $10/month per organization.

If you have questions, email me directly at lars@issue-shield.com. I actually read and respond to every email (crazy, right?).

Ship fast, backup faster.
