Jira 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…

I think it's not about the Jira itself, it's about who manages it and power asymmetry it creates. If a bug tracker is configured by managers it will be optimized for manager productivity at the cost of developer productivity. Same thing often happens with infra/devops.

Yeah, I mostly agree, I think it's often manager surveillance and control rather than productivity.

Great on work creating an alternative to Linear which is a carbon copy of Linear [1]. Linear 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…

Yeah this is really frustrating to see Karri. You guys have built an amazing tool at Linear. I truly believe it has inspired everyone in the tech world who wants to build better software.

For this team to fully clone it, open-source it and then claim they were inspired by Linear is incredibly dishonest.

I know you already know this, what you all have built at Linear is a gold standard and the replicas wont be able to keep up.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Don't have an instance available to check, sorry. 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…

Sure, nobody cares to configure it "properly" whatever that means and I wonder if it's even possible. I'm also just an engineer in the team, I can't push through changes like this to abandon epics.

I wish we should just set Jira on fire and switch to whatever else, but it's close to impossible when you have hundreds of engineers and PM-s using it. We're stuck with it probably forever.

Hey Karri, I’m truly sorry for how things have turned out. Our aim was to highlight the importance of design, regardless of the project’s size. We never intended to copy Linear, but rather to consider it as an inspiration for any upcoming tools in this field, emphasizing the need for good design.

Rest assured, we will focus our efforts on these aspects and make sure to rectify the situation.

AI for project management is an amazing use case. May I suggest adding features: 1. Expanding on the description taking the project meta info or history into account. 2. Adding to the above, come up with feature scenarios and test cases 3. An agent to listen into standup conversations to come up with an updated priority list for PO to approve? 4. Move tickets or suggestions to move tickets to next stage of workflows…

thanks a lot. We will add these to our idea board, definitely a lot more work to do and things to build

Love the standup and other ideas here and happy to see a smarter alternative coming up to take on Atlassian and Jira.

Atlassian recently bought Loom and is clearly working to incorporate multimodal video/screen share input through Loom into Jira. We have a smarter Loom alternative (https://augmend.com) that is partially (scrensharing rust core) open sourced and we’d love to help you 1) not use your competitor’s product :), and 2) get you ahead of the Loom/Jira integrations and “better together” developments that are progressing now. https://www.atlassian.com/blog/announcements/atlassian-acqui...

Hard to believe that ending up with exact copy is not intentional.
