I like the concept of https://crocagile.com , it is like a game.
yeah we're shooting for "what if Jira gave a shit about the mental health of its customers"

#33Pivotal Tracker at work. It's not great and not the worst. Missing a board view so I create several column queries. Asana was the slowest and their boards are completely disconnected.
For small side projects, I tend to just use the repo's issue management. Still looking for a light visual tracker that hits that 'just enough' sweet spot.

#34We’re using Airtable at work. It’s easily the best issue tracker I’ve ever used, mostly due to the near-infinite customizability. Airtable is just a spreadsheet on steroids, with cool, different views like a kanban view for your spreadsheet. I have absolutely loved it so far. We switched from Jira, so maybe I’m finally just getting over my Stockholm syndrome, but I love Airtable.

#35I've used a lot of Redmine, Phabricator and Jira. Redmine feels really old and dealing with upgrades that will necessarily break one of the plugin needed to make it decent is painful. If you don't touch it, it works just fine though. Phabricator is really cool, requires some good tech knowledge to administrate, biggest pain point was the ci cd apps that were more complex than the rest. Jira is what I'm currently usin…

Ugh, I know all about this. We use Jira where I work and the implementation was so botched and horrible that it easily costs me an hour a day just fighting the awful workflows, required fields, etc., that were put in place by someone who had no idea what they were doing. Not to mention the fact that the same person accidentally wiped out our entire issue database/backlog during a maintenance window one evening.
I’ve worked with Jira before and while it’s not perfect it can be set up pretty well. But, man, when it isn’t, it sure is hell using it.

Maybe it's because it was an older version of Pivotal (not sure) but the pivotal use I've been exposed to was horrendous.

#37I haven't used too much many but just analyzing at whole project, using altassian suite makes more sense to me. (even for small team projects.). Using their hosted solutions is quite affordable and you don't want to spend your energy in learning new product or host or learning integrations.
JIRA (tasks + bugs) + Confluence (for any kind of internal docs) is all you need.

#38There's also taiga [1]. More or less an open source clone of jira. [1]: https://taiga.io/
Whoa, that's a bold statement.. Taiga doesn't have the air of overengineered, slow monster that JIRA has become.

#39Jira works really well for a small team.

#40Clubhouse has been a good balance of structure and simplicity. They have a good API for automation too. https://clubhouse.io
Yep I use Clubhouse for software dev projects as well. It’s great. The longest I’ve kept using an issue tracker.
