I never hear anyone shilling for them, so now is my chance. Anyone who’s looking for a great JIRA alternative, I love Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse). It’s the best task management software I’ve used aside from the “no task management software” option. Very snappy, updates in real time, notifications make sense, and no workflow-manipulation shenanigans.

What's with people posting "alternatives" to Jira that aren't self hosted? The problem with jira is that it costs $27k/year to self host.

And here, “stupid expensive” means $42K/yr: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing?tab=data-cen... Yeah, no.

7$/user/month is pretty reasonable IMHO. Of course only for companies with 500 users. But even if you buy the 500 seat package for 100 users it's just 35$/user/month, compared to normal engineering salaries this is absolutely negligible.

It's not reasonable to post your company trade secrets on a third party, internet-accessible server.

> You craft the filters, so if that makes no sense it’s because you didn’t craft the right thing. That's where you've lost nearly all the people. Who in their right mind crafts filters . What does this even mean?

Anyone who uses a search engine, tries to find an email, or generally deals with large datasets.

No one "crafts" filters for the purposes of searching or finding an email.

You use simple built in filters like "site:x" or "in: folder". There's no "crafting" or involved.

But, of course, we will never admit that Java is a fucking abomination and designed by brain dead degenerates. And yes, I studied programming languages before coming to this particular conclusion.

I did not study programming languages and also came to that conclusion

How about YouTrack? It's pretty competent, comes in self hosted and SaaS editions and is very keyboardable.

You type in the word “site:”. That is crafting.

That's not "crafting". And, additionally, the vast majority of people will never use (or even know) about this "crafting".

I would like to advocate for Linear.app as an outstanding, fast, polished alternative to Jira for teams looking for an alternative.

Linear is awesome. It gets out of your way and let’s you focus on creating tickets really quickly. The integration with GitHub means engineers rarely need to update the board since tickets sync with your pull request. The keyboard shortcuts are amazing and so is the performance. I’d highly recommend it.
