Congrats on shipping the beta.
One thing that strikes me is that while you present your product as alternative to Jira, both the name and the logo (bluish form looking like an A) hint at Atlassian and Jira.

#12Looks awesome and I would love to try it out. Unfortunately I work at a large company which has 'standardized' on Jira + other related tools. Now that the majority of work is being done through Jira, it would take a world ending event to move away, no matter how good of a product the alternative is.
Well, we happen to have a world-ending event on deck right now, I assume at least some orgs might be interested in something free with a similar feature set to Jira... (of course, if it wasn't also sadistically hard to use and configure that'd be a plus).

#13How closely is it coupled with Github / Github issues? Would it work as a replacement for something like Zenhub, which is mostly just a facade over Github's own interface? Can you still add replies to issues directly in Github or do you have to do it in Tara?
I would love to replace Zenhub, but almost every other tool would require us moving some key functionality out of Github. We still want to keep all of our issues, estimates, labels, and planning in Github's native issues, while also having some advanced planning and sprint features.

#14I couldn't find the pricing anywhere in the site.
It says "free" twice, in colored CTA buttons, in the first ~150px or so.

#16great tool - congrats on the open beta! it wasn't immediately clear to me that the product is still in beta, and was unable to find any pricing information which threw me off. another question - is there a reason why Github isn't a support authentication method, considering that Github integration is a big part of the product? But the tool looks super interesting - going to try it out and intro it to our team!
Hey munkay- we're free for unlimited users. Principally, we believe teams shouldn’t have to be limited by user counts when deciding which project management system to use. Most are still clunky and cap at 10 users for free accounts- planning to have a free forever plan for unlimited users (much like Gitlab).
Paid plans may include functionality for enterprise teams, full fledged integrations and/or smart features such as automated sprint management.
As for Github auth- that's coming!

Does a pandemic count? JK.
Frankly- RN we're more optimized for smaller teams. We lack the admin/user control and SAML functionality that Jira has for larger teams. It should be interesting to see if new teams about to on-board Jira cloud find the heavy config and long load times annoying and consider making the switch.
Majority of teams (for now) switch from Notion for sprints, Trello or Asana.

#18We've been using Tara for a while now.
As a smaller team, we never had good luck with the hyper-complexities of JIRA, we were stuck with Trello (and/or a simple Notion Kanban board) for a while. But Tara's really worked the best for us.
I personally, really like the personal dashboard for every developer on the team, flagging all your main tickets, PR's, and your teammates commits. I'm hoping for awesome things here.

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well it doesn't look like there is a non-profit organization behind it, so someone has to pay for that somehow. Is it support, ads or information?
Saw this earlier[1], looks like they are working on enterprise features for larger teams, which will be paid.
