Everytime I'm using JIRA and I type JIRA and it automatically corrects it to Jira, I hit Ctrl+Z to undo the autocorrect.

After a U.S. federal contractor told us they loved Plane but couldn't use it due to ITAR requirements, we spent 6 months building a truly air-gapped version.

- it is not at all surprising that this is not common enough amongst software engineers to even consider these things (competing business interests probably cause this often)

I am also building https://docmost.com , a self-hostable Confluence alternative that can run fully air-gapped. It has support for spaces, real-time collaboration, a rich-text editor, built-in diagrams support and more. We launched on HN 1 year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40832146

Buy-and-forget perpetual pricing for internal networks, please.

Don’t want to pick up annual subscriptions, and don’t want any dependency on a third party company that might not last or will start doubling prices in the future after an acquisition - been burned heaps by that.

My company self hosts most things, which is bad for remote employees and employees in offices other than the primary because the VPN server (or possibly their network connection) is underpowered for the number of remote users. I sometimes need to wait 45 minutes for a like 1GB clone.

What a weird time to enforce British rules for acronyms. JIRA stands for JIRA Isn't Really Awesome.

But you didn't tell us how many orders of magnitude more expensive it is to operate :)
