As a European, it's very unfortunate that I'm not legally able to try your product.

Is there anything that legally (on the user’s side) stops a European user from using an American service that doesn’t collect/operate on address information but bills their service as “for USA only”?

I don't see anything on the website about Gitlab integration

We haven't had time to update the homepage or the overall website, just been focusing on shipping early and often.

This was just published - a quick guide on setting up the Gitlab webhook: https://help.tara.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360051704951-Gitlab-I...

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.

Thanks for the reply.

How is “an AI for teams” a replacement for Jira, which doesn’t market itself as an AI at all? I’m looking at your features and I don’t see anywhere that AI plays a role in the core offering? Can you provide more info on how this is your distinguishing feature?

It's hard to find but if you click pricing, it pops up a modal with a FAQ:

> How will you stay in business?

"We are working on functionality for teams that provides visibility and predictability in product development. Features may include automation around sprints and multi-team workflows. This will be part of our premium plan, and is where the AI comes into play."

Perhaps they’re using AI to predict capacity “based on past sprint performance”

It might be problematic if they ever want to charge customers of their AI service in Europe.

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.

"Simple" isn't a Jira alternative; not being "simple" is Jira's entire raison d'etre.

If you want "simple" there are already a thousand and one options available, but alternatives to Jira are extremely rare. This is how Atlassian captured the market.

So in my opinion you should really change your marketing, as it is it really gives off a false advertising vibe.
