Need Concept of Release/Milestone
More complex projects need this. Perhaps a tab to the left of backlog that lets you organize the next layer up from sprints.

we are planning on using RSS feeds for stuff like this. Email will probably come soon after that.

Don't schedule unrated stories
You should not attempt to guess in what sprint any stories after and including the first unrated story will be completed. The display of that data is at best useless and at worse misleading to stakeholders who aren't as savvy with the tool. The priority should be maintained, but the first unrated story and everything after it should be in an unscheduled backlog.

Bulk prioritize stories
I need to be able to select multiple stories to re-prioritise. When i import a batch of new stories, they are often a higher priority than the trailing stories.

Task Dependencies
Tasks often have dependencies that create blocks. Add parent/child relations on tasks and set outer limit on end date of sprints based upon these using Gant Chart.

Integrate with GitHub
It would be nice if you could link a Git commit to a story in order to track what code changes were necessary to implement the story. I think this would be useful for code reviews.

have an easy link to a bug tracker!
Because expending votes to say "I like it" when my idea is that things should not be broken seems stupid

we are looking into setting up a lighthouse account. If you weren’t anonymous it would be easier to contact you.

Printable storycards
For teams that like to do planning on a real scrum-board, it is still useful to have ScrumNinja keep track of the backlog. I prefer real scrum-boards for small, co-located teams, but might need a tool like ScrumNinja once the team becomes distributed. The only feature that is needed for this to work, is having an option to print top-priority storycards. The cards should be about half an A4-page in size and readable from a distance.

Allow user stories to be organized hierarchically
For complex projects, we like to express our user stories as a hierarchy. We start of general... VERY general... and then break things down more and more until we get to the point we have units of work that can be tasked out. This has worked for us for thousands of years, and is the penultimate idea... times infinity!

we are planning to organize stories into releases. I think tags are good enough for what you describe. As for a general story, make a general story with a ton of story points as a placeholder, then break it down into smaller stories as needed.

Lock a story to a sprint or set a due-date on a story
The major failing of scrum ninja (we're about to cancel because of this) is that I can't lock a story to a sprint. I.e. I *really* need to be able to set an absolute due-date on a story and know that if I add something above it that it won't get bumped down into another sprint no matter what.
Is this possible? When can you have this feature added?

Add a tag cloud/search by tag
currently the search functionality is very weak. An advanced search may also suffice but a tag cloud would be very nice.

Work on multiple projects in one sprint
Here we sometimes work at 2 projects per sprint.. How can I do this with scrumninja?

you can do this with tagging. All your stories must be in the same backlog.

summarize time remaining
it would be nice if the cumulative time remaining for pending and in-progress tasks was summarized both for the sprint as a whole and each story card. I'd probably want to see this info on both the card wall and the backlog views.

Don't reload the backlog page after rating a story
When you have many items in the backlog, rating a story is a painful experience. I just want to quickly rate each unrated story, but I can't because each time I rate one it has to reload the whole page. Very disrupting.

we are planning a feature where you can disable backlog refreshing as needed.

Allow stories to have colors
We use different colors for different epics / modules. Would be nice to be able to represent that in the wall.

Brush up on the visuals
You had someone design you a nice logo, good! Now please, get someone they know to have a go at fixing your CSS and redesigning the visual face of the service. Functionality wise it looks OK.
