If so, what obstacles prevent from open sourcing it? At least the the part of functionality which is declared to be free forever?

#32Does it have something like JIRA-1330? Because that’s what makes everything else in Jira a sorry kludge
What's your take on changing the status quo around unique task/issue ID's?

So a competitor isn’t made.

#34This thing is in absolutely no way a Jira alternative. (YouTrack is the Jira alternative, but it's not free.)
We went from Jira to Tara (with Notion in the middle), and the problem is everyone thinks they need Jira, and a huge swath of people really don't. Jira is a complex product and those complexities are probably needed by some people.
OTOH, Tara's simplicity is godsent, especially as a small team. The comparison makes sense to me.

As a European, it's very unfortunate that I'm not legally able to try your product.
Are you routinely putting GDPR sensitive information into your ticket tracking system? I'd suggestion most people shouldn't irrespective of GDPR. And if you don't then those terms aren't an issue.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
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” /s
Is that a bad idea?

It is free now, they never say it will be free forever.

#38"Free" is the worst pricing of all.
Open-source is great. One time purchase price is great for products that don't require maintenance. Subscription pricing is perfectly valid for online services that are not open-source.
Free? Free is the worst. I don't get any trust that the service will stay around, it can completely change along the way to "paid", and I don't get to keep anything in that case.

It is free now, they never say it will be free forever.
How do you interpret this in the "Pricing" modal:

FWIW, they explain exactly how they'll make money in the website (under Pricing) and in this thread.
