Why do people call things Jira alternatives that contain about 1/500th of the features? It's just a simple project management tool with a kanban board...

Wouldn’t child tickets address that problem?
Perhaps? But I do plenty of projects where I'm just paired with another engineer. I'm maybe taking lead, but they're sitting in on all the meetings and helping make decisions when I want someone to check my work. That may be worth noting in a ticket in case I'm busy or out of office and someone needs an answer around the project, even if they don't have a specific task they're responsible for that they'd be assigned…

yeah, marketing is all about using the simplest language to communicate truth relevant to the group you want to reach, not about communicating absolute truth to all comers.
Marketing is not about truth, period. I prefer the older term for the occupation: advertising and propaganda.

It has that in common with essentially all other open source license. And it only extends to the version given to you under the license. The copyright holder(s) retain the right to change their mind. Which is a reason AGPL v3 is popular with companies that are looking to sell commercial licenses for their software. There are quite a few startups out there that attempted to keep control whose primary business model is…
What if a project has a plugin architecture and plugins are compiled files that can be dropped in at runtime? Those plugins can be any license then, is it not?
But there is a chance that CSS and svg icons are not required to be GPL.

The closer you are to agile the more basic your ticketing system needs and vice versa. You could probably do without one at all even.

> On my computer it started in Dark Mode, and the experience overall was quite a bit disorientating. Also no light/mode switch icon in the header. I don't really know that you need a light/dark mode switch. It should follow your preferences. I see dark mode websites all the time, because my desktop is set to dark mode. On my Windows machine I see the same websites with the light-mode, because I did not bother to figu…
Hi, I am Aaryan, one of the maintainers at Plane. We currently have the theming settings available under the profile section, where you can set themes like light, dark, custom themes, and more. Thank you for your suggestion; we will certainly work on implementing the system preference setting and find a better placement for the theme switcher.
For accessibility's sake, it'd be nice if the site met WCAG Level AAA contrast ratio requirements.
