Checkout gitlab. They have issue tracker and wiki along with everything else DevOps. You can also have a look at https://clubhouse.io

For me, Clubhouse has the best UX ratio of personalization, features and simplicity... Hopefully it will continue to be only improved and not extended

Give Trello a try,really. I’ve been using Jira for small and medium projects for years with custom workflows and similar cool features, but i’ve slowly became tired of the extra complexity, which i could understand was needed for some projects, but wasn’t my case, so gave it Trello a try, and yeah, lacks lots of stuff, but honestly, it’s simple and fast UI will help you find workarounds for your needs

Azure DevOps is pretty good - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/services/devops/ Comes with a full suite of Agile project management tools with Kanban boards, Wiki etc. and then integrates with pull requests etc. through its Git repository hosting system.

DevOps has a horribly confusing and slow interface, IMO.

A few years ago we migrated from Jira to Gitlab. To use their project-planning features (Epics, etc) they take a massive preḿium if you're not interested in the other features. Still, the basics are sound, and even without epics and a few of the other neat but expensive features, it goes pretty far.

> massive preḿium

That massive premium bothers me too. I don't mind paying for those premium features, but as a small company (less than 20 employees) the cost is not justifiable.

We already use GitLab's community edition as a self-hosted package combined with MatterMost, and we love it. We are not using its issue tracker, only the git repository hosting and integration with MatterMost.

However, having to go to enterprise tier just to get epics is not an option for us. I really wish GitLab would price their tiers more appropriately for small businesses.

Also, what on earth are you doing with that acute accent on that poor m?

https://www.phacility.com/phabricator/ I loved using this with my friends.

+1. Phabricator is great and such an underrated software!

It's much more similar to Gitlab than Jira, though, so you might want something more specific. That said, I quite like the way Phabricator handles Tasks and Projects.

Would say the same... thought it's constantly adding/changing features which is a mixed bag, I really like it. IIRC it's free for up to 5 users in a team.
