I'm all for open source task trackers, but the UI in most parts is a rip off of Linear.
Which I consider pretty good!

#33I am curious how it compares to the GitLab project boards.

#34I will try this out as a tool to manage my private tasks. I always wanted something like Jira for my personal life.
Who would you escalate to if you run out of capacity to wash your dishes in your current sprint? :-) Joking aside, how would you use this tool for your private tasks?
Buy a house and you now have 100 odd jobs a year to do. Start with that.

#35> “But what are GitHub stars?” This is weird. It’s almost as if this is a sales pitch to non-technical management who gets to make the executive decision on what issue tracker to use. That’s almost antithetical to “by engineers, for engineers” If this project is driven by commercial interests, then the open-source spirit, if any, isn’t genuine and won’t stick around once VCs want the bait-and-switch.

It's not necessarily antithetical. You can build for engineers, but target management for sales - since those people often make the decisions.

If the OP had said private projects, I would agree but he mentioned private tasks. So I imagined him using the tool for daily chores and such. but I think your statement make more sense.

Not copying existing ideas is the strangest thing to me. What is the point of spending months trying to come up with an original design, instead of just taking a proven design and improving on it / customizing it to your companies virtues?
In the fintech space I've seen so many startups hire designers to come up with original new designs and user experiences, only to arrive at the exact same design as existing fintech apps.
What is the point of refusing to stand on the shoulders of giants? Pride?

What do you prefer? A software whose UI and workflow are good for upper management but a PITA for engineers, or a software "by engineers, for engineers" which has some sales pitch/material that can be appealing to upper management, who ultimately makes the decision to shell out the money?
