#6Project management actually seems like a good candidate for open-source. It seems like companies often need customizations. I could imagine forks for different industries.

OpenProject is generally open source. Some key features exist outside of the open source license.
Their hosted options though, seem reasonably priced.

It's interesting that when they forked in 2011 they switched from a RoR app to an SPA (angularjs then angular) + REST api to be able to get better UI interactivity. Now it's 2024 and after we've had SSR and hydration, JS frameworks are moving to even tighter integration between client and server (for example React Server components).

Reading this, I had a little laugh after reading the entire spiel about increasing intuitivness and the first point is renaming issues (universally understood) to "work packages" (what?).
Maybe it's just me :) overall it looks like quite the overhaul from its redmine roots. A lot of what I had to hunt for in paid redmine plug-ins years ago is just a core feature in OpenProject.

#10I typically prefer the simplicity of GitHub issues, mixed with Markdown documentation in the source tree. What are some advantages of using a product like OpenProject?
