#42Is self-hosted on the roadmap?
I get why they want to compare Tara to Jira, but when you look at what companies actually do with Jira, then you'll hit a wall rather quickly with pretty much everything else.
Like them or not, Atlassians product integrate rather well, and you can "easily" customize them to integrate into pretty much everything else. We have Jira integrated into pretty much everything from monitoring to invoicing.
You can also customize the snot of internal workflows in Jira, per project basis. Even to the point where nothing makes sense any more.
Finding a replacement is hard, but relevant given the latest pricing changes from Atlassian. That and their idiotic prioritisation of their cloud offering. Oh yeah, and no Atlassian product has a functional search feature.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is free now, they never say it will be free forever.
How do you interpret this in the "Pricing" modal: > Our free forever plan has unlimited tasks, sprints and workspaces, with no user limits.

#44This 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.

#46Does 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?
To its essence, an ID allows interested parties to track something over time.
If you add additional meanings to an ID - e.g. the parent project as Jira does, or the kind as in ServiceNow - these can become outdated over time, and deceiving.
I'd say it's ok to change the "external name" as this other metadata changes over time (project name, bug, task, story, whatever...) but make the obsolete synonyms redirect to the currently active name.

#48"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.
FWIW, they explain exactly how they'll make money in the website (under Pricing) and in this thread.
if it's NOT good enough as-is then why bother using it in the first place?

#50Hi HN! We last crossed paths 6 months ago, when we shared Tara 1.0, a simple Jira alternative. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23033387 I'm one of the creators of Tara, and with support and feedback from the community, we've been hard at work building this v1.5 release over 24 sprints and 500+ pull requests. Several of you asked for an improved Github sync, PRs and commits tracked in tasks, alongside a Gitlab in…
