This totally expected level of unconstructive critique makes this comment a miniature art piece.

Snark all you want, but that's this person's experience and it's worth considering why that is the case. I'd wager they've been a victim of productivity theatre, with management saying "we need to be agile! make it so everyone -- your job depends on it!". Then, they may even hire an experienced agile manager but (for whatever reason) give them no chance to spend time and effort properly training everyone involved in…

My comment actually came from a place of empathy. With this comment though, I will be openly snarky when I say that you've now contributed to the art piece.

My opinion based on feature and screenshots is that the UX is as shitty as Jira. The nightmare with Jira is this product manager obsession with kaban boards that become overwhelmed once your project become serious.

What's the solution to this? Which app would you recommend to deal with projects that become serious?

Thank you for posting this. Looks pretty basic but somehow complete. The first impression is good. Here's some criticism: The first thing I look for in a issue tracker is the screen estate to write the task. I understand that some people write a list of issues in the form of short blurbs and iterate on them afterwards, but it always feels frustrating to me to having to write the title in a modal window, save and then…

> 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…

No, some applications work better in light mode, some in dark mode.

> Simplify your transition to Waterfall, Agile, and other workflows to keep up team's momentum with Cycles and Modules. LOL, at least they are honest about companies doing waterfall style planning being their target audience.

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.

Lots of dovnvotes. I am curious to know the reasoning behind these. :)

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.

Because that’s that most people see Jira as. It’s easy to only use Jiras surface level features, like a Trello with a little more functionality, and not the more advanced ones.

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.

As a user, that's the best for a software like this, because it means it cannot be ever closed source!

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?

Why .so? I understand payara.fish, because payara is based on glassfish. What is the story here? I'm just curious (and bored) :).

I find the name 'plane' itself curious. As an upcoming product you make yourself quite hard to find in search engines (though "plane issue tracker" gives plane.so as first result in DDG).
