Just signed up and so far everything worked well. Couple tweaks, you may want to use more than 1 letter for the workspace name icon in the left menu when a user has a few workspaces since naming is unpredictable. There is also a lot of whitespace between welcome username, and the getting started copy on the page. The home icon and the logo in the left nav do the same thing not sure if you need both.

Hey! So we had the option for a min char count, but users wanted to have one letter workspaces (for fun I guess?). We need to revamp our navigation anyway since it's hard to know where to click to change workspaces. Good point on the whitespace- will take a look. As for creating tasks- we're thinking of a sticky area on the left (that's always on) to create tasks. For priority- we're releasing labels in 3 weeks. You…

Will do and good luck!

Does Tara support a public facing board to capture bugs feature requests from our users? We would like to be able to link public facing issues to internal issues.

Not yet but it's on the roadmap! Several pen source repositories are requesting this feature as well, to monitor development with their contributors and we need to ship this. We've discovered there are very few options for open source communities to monitor and track/report on progress - and the cost for hundreds of contributors can become prohibitive with other PM tools.

This thing is in absolutely no way a Jira alternative. (YouTrack is the Jira alternative, but it's not free.)

For us, the key was to build a simple Jira alternative. A good PM tool should do the basics, and get out of the way.

Personal opinion, so many PM tools tend to be bloated and each view ends up causing more mental overload for the team, EM and PM.

We've tried to focus on speed with performance and keeping things simple.
