I love seeing competition for Jira, because it needs to die, but I think you need to do a better job explaining your value prop. Your first bullet list of features doesn't really make it sound all that different. Why would I have a better time using this than Jira, bearing in mind that I'd be giving up custom workflows and probably a lot of integrations? (No shade intended. If you can answer that concisely, put that at the top of your copy.)

Also, please consider finding a native english copywriter to take a run at your writing. It's readable, but not fluent, and overly filled with jargon.

I've been looking for a competitive open source alternative to Jira for a non-profit I volunteer at because they cannot afford to pay for any cloud service and Trello has its limitations. Does Plane offer all pro features for open source instances as well? Does it support login via Google or other identity providers?

What's the tl;dr comparison with Linear?

Hey, Linear is opinionated in it's philosophy of Project management and the usage of terminology. We do accommodate all the features that linear has in a general way. Plane is extensible where users can build the framework of their choice.

How widespread is Ctrl + K -> insert URL?? Because using it for something else could cause confusion (already encountered on other platforms).

I'm pretty sure that's the cross browser shortcut for "search with default search engine". At least on the browsers I usually encounter it is.

These types of shortcut key overrides are why I've got them disabled in my browser by default.

Please build a startup on this. I don't want to run a Jira alternative myself. I'll pay you to do it for me. Edit: looks like you do [1]! Perfect! I'll sign up shortly and give it a spin. [1] https://plane.so

thanks echelon, we are working hard to make it happen in a more simple and extensible way. Also Open source :)
