#122Not sure if your site is slow or my internet, but your Guide section is literally your logo and 8 links, was trying to figure out why it took ~5 sec to load for me (found out it loads 1.5mb+ of data).

Thanks for the feedback. The guide is a bit of an experiment we're trying at the moment to make it super easy for our team to update the content there easily. We may need to rethink it a bit it seems!

If we were to use it (which would need gitlab/mattermost integration as mentioned before), we'd very much depend on having a self hosted option.
GitLab is our next planned integration and one of our current paying customers is using mattermost so it's something we're strongly considering. And this HN launch has given us a lot to think about in terms of self hosting!
Just to balance out the crowd of self hosting fans, I work with compliance requirements and have no issues with managed services. Sign the right agreements and then it's not my problem to manage auditing and compliance requirements. I'm paying you to make it your problem. Self hosting just makes it my problem.

#125Are there plans for self-hosted versions? That's pretty much the "if I will use it or not" question for me. Atlassian's killing of their self-hosted solutions for smaller companies is just really a shame.
Youtrack has self hosted, free for less than 10 users so pretty easy to evaluate, and a migration path from Jira

Yeah, I've tried Youtrack and as much as I love most of Jetbrains' products, Youtrack just wasn't as good imo.

#127Congratulations on the launch. How does this compare with https://linear.app ?
We think Linear's a beautifully designed app that does Jira better than Jira for some teams. That being said, we're trying to be a bit different. Teams using us tend not to split things down into micro tasks, but instead leverage the document-like structure of our work items to bring the whole team into a single workspace, thinking about and working on features/initiatives together. I think we also think about integr…

There is literally a hotkey for everything in linear.

#128Will there be gantt charts? I want to know which issues depend on which others

#129Cool app! Just as a quick idea, you might want to make sure you compress your 4.4MB bundle before sending it to a client. Splitting your bundle might help for the initial page load, too.

No, it's not appropriate, and it's dead and gone in 14 minutes.
Super sorry this is my first post on HN. Which part is inappropriate?
I think it was probably a combination of (a) the comment wasn't very substantive, and (b) it might seem dismissive to post that in someone's launch thread.
Edit: oh wait. I thought your comment was just "Similar to linear", but you edited it after the fact. Originally it was an entirely different post trying to promote your own product in this space. That's no doubt why DanBC quoted the guideline about promotion. And yes, that was pretty rude to do in someone else's launch thread.
