#92Aren't you afraid of a potential lawsuit from Linear[1]? Your interface looks like a copy paste. Dont get me wrong, it's amazing what you've build but cloning a well funded startup may not be the best strategy. 1 https://linear.app

#93Good stuff, like the AI approach to this. On Jira, I keep hearing the criticism of Jira on this forum a lot, but IMO it's not that bad product. Jira is used by all industries, not just by software management. Making a tool has to be a "silver bullet" for managing any kind of project is not easy. Tell me a better PM tool which is as widely used as Jira.
A deployment happened on December 29th. It's January 2th. Suddenly, you need to know if the deployment happened 1 week ago or 1 month ago. You remember the deployments page usually says useful information such as X days ago or X weeks ago. Based on the facts, a rational normal person is expecting something like 4 days ago. JIRA says "last year".

Lawsuit under what law? The general design of a user interface is not copyrightable, although the assets are. If it was sufficiently distinctive it could be protected with a trademark.
This is not a "general design", it's almost a pixel perfect clone. The law is: copyright law, it doesn't have to be protected with a trademark since UI design is an "artistic work" hence protected by copyright law by design. The Linear company owns the copyright law that was transferred to them during the work of a UI designer.
Copyright doesn’t protect functionality, which would rather be protected by patents. So you cannot say “This UI element functions in this way and this is protected”. It is purely about how it looks, and everything looks much the same these days.

#95It looks nice. AI for project management is a good use case. As a long time open source contributor and sysadmin, I think it is very important to have a way to self host without docker, with a list of requirements. I recently wanted to try plane, but it requires docker, so I kept using gitea issues for now.

Check out the compose for the required services https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon/blob/main/docker-compose.ya...
And the server dockerfile for build + run instructions (it's literally just yarn build && yarn start:prod) https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon/blob/main/server/Dockerfile...

It's the same issue every time someone tries to brand themselves as an alternative to Jira. They implement 10/20% of the features, typically part of the task/bug-tracker and maybe the KANBAN boards and completely ignores the rest. The fact that products and startups feel the need to brand themselves as "Jira alternatives" says a lot about the absolute dominance of Jira in some markets. You're just not going to replac…
If there wasn’t a market for alternatives, people wouldn’t spend their time building them or marketing themselves as them.
It's very common to develop software in response to dissatisfaction with social, organisational, issues. Issues that in turn are impervious to software incentives, that is.

#98Linear also been powered by local first sync since 2019, we have AI features shipped and in the pipeline.
As YC alumni/design founder of Linear disappointed to see that design/ui/product is treated this way and something to completely rip off from other products.
Last 5 years we’ve been iterating on the Linear design and product. We are still a small team. We also like to share how we build and design to improve inspire others.
But this is no inspiration or inspiring.
Just some days ago Garry Tan was talking about how to get founders learn and value design and this is the opposite of that.

#100Jira is extremely customisable. The "too complicated and enables a lot of processes and micro-management which used to kill our productivity" thing is a matter of management in the company, or whoever controls the implementation of project management flows, rather than Jira itself. I'm not a fan of Jira and avoid it if I can, but it has never reduced my overall "productivity", putting some text in some forms and clic…
Can I customize it to select the epic and label on the ticket creation modal? I always have to click the link on the toast message to do these steps on a new screen, it's infuriating.
I've seen very simple setups that don't use epics and only have like three ticket types and a handful of states they can be in, like a basic kanban board, and very complex ones where several boards are interconnected and the flow is in part driven by integrations with CRM, git, CI/CD and Confluence.
Most instances I've seen have been quite badly configured in relation to how the organisation prefers to work though, people get small cuts all the time and feel like they need to fight it daily.
