First, congratulations on launching. I think people are so used to seeing beautiful products these days that it can be hard to remember how hard it is to make anything . Nice work! With that out of the way, here is some critical feedback: - What is the pitch that you made to YC that convinced them to back you? The market size just doesn't seem that large and I don't understand what will differentiate you from Linear…

Thanks a ton for the feedback.

1. We started our documentation at https://docs.tegon.ai, though it is not ready yet points taken, and we will work towards making more documentation.

2. We are planning internally to bring more systems to how we manage PRs and to have the right information on them.

3. We love opensource and we have built all our previous products opensource. Keeping our love aside we believe the building of a marketplace for agents/integrations is where the community can help us a ton. We are currently working on making that more modular so that people can start contributing.

What we have done till now started with the basic Project management and there is a lot more to be built and to solve.

By the way, you've left the notiz.dev LICENSE file in your server code, probably you want to remove that. https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon/blob/158b54af8d6f7cf4195c61... Separately, there seems to be a ton of unused or broken or dead code sprinkled throughout — for instance, in the auth code, I can't tell if you're doing basic email/password auth or using Supertokens and a third-party login via Google. You have code…

thanks for the catch. We will remove those.

Yes, we use Supertokens and we support email/password and google auth. Google auth is something we added recently as that was requested.

We are still working/improving on the documentation. We use mintlify for documentation https://docs.tegon.ai/introduction.

Noted. We will work on it.

I appreciate the quick responses. Sincerely, best of luck.

True performance is our priority. From the very beginning, we focused on ensuring that our app ran smoothly and quickly. To achieve this, we load all the data locally, allowing you to experience everything at lightning speed. Our background server keeps your data synchronized seamlessly between the server and the client, so you get the best of both worlds: speed and reliability.

> True performance is our top priority The server is written in Node.JS

Node is capable of significantly better performance than the average Jira instance.

The bar is low.

If you build something interacts over a network with an AGPL’d program, then you are hitting the distributing over a network clause in the license.

But that only stipulates that the third party has to make the code available if they've modified it. This is fine if you expect people to want to modify the backend, but it won't stop people who only care about cloning the service. Which is sort of the point, good software made available to as many people as possible as cheaply as possible, but it's not really protection against others who would monetize the software…

I am not an IP attorney but this is undecided territory: as I understand it your integrations may be considered modifications, and thus may be subject to the terms of the license, depending on the interpretation.

Using BSL would make their code source-available but it wouldn’t be open-source anymore, unlike AGPL.

The Business Source License allows for redistribution and modification of code. Calling it not open-source because it restricts third-parties from slapping a logo on it and selling licenses seems like a stretch. imo licenses like the BSL are really the direction that open-source should be heading in, because they allow the original author to retain their rights while avoiding exploitation by rando corporations.

No, it’s not an open-source license because it’s not OSI compliant https://opensource.org/licenses.

Open-source has a specific meaning that too many people don’t know or forgot.

What evidence do you have that suggests auto-generated titles are better?

We thought auto-generated titles could make life a bit easier. Creating the perfect title for every task can be tricky, especially when things get complicated. So, we added this feature to help with that. (This is also something I faced as a challenge while I was working in Airbyte the community does a great job at explaining the issues but we always have to edit the title to make it more crisp.) Right now, we’re usi…
