Does it have offline support?

This is the one thing I'm missing the most about Notion, Miro, Google Calendar, and all of this - offline support. In German trains, I'm offline, on flights, I'm often offline; while traveling, I'm often offline. Offline capabilities are often neglected.

Very polished, I'm impressed! It seems like everyone ends up recreating a PM or todo tool at some point. It makes me wonder if there could be a world where we have a standard protocol/api and then anyone can bring their own preferred interface?

I feel it would be like SQL with multiple dialects. Some small set would be interoperable, but eventually things end up diverging.

Interesting. We are very much in need of something like this.

BUT; I setup both mobile and and desktop web. Seems like they are not syncing. Certainly not real time. Added to desktop and still not on mobile 3 minutes later even if i refresh. I logged into both with my goggle account. Are they even the same board?

Deal breaker on the lack of realtime sync.

If i add on mobile and do a CNTL-R to refresh the entire page the item shows on desktop.

One thing I've always wanted in a tool like this is the ability to map out probabilities, i.e., we do A, then B but after that we do either C,D or E. Each one on these has an associated probability (C: 0.4, D: 0.5, E: 0.1) and an associated estimate (C: 10 +- 5 normal, D: 12 +- 3 uniform, E: 3 +-1 normal). The UI would look like a graph and like ms project it could include resource levelling in order to show bottlene…

Critical path method > Basic techniques: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_path_method#Basic_tec... :

> Components: The essential technique for using CPM [8][9] is to construct a model of the project that includes the following:

> (1) A list of all activities required to complete the project (typically categorized within a work breakdown structure), (2) The time (duration) that each activity will take to complete, (3) The dependencies between the activities and, (4) Logical end points such as milestones or deliverable items.

> Using these values, CPM calculates the *longest path* of planned activities to logical end points or to the end of the project, and *the earliest and latest that each activity can start and finish without making the project longer.* This process determines which activities are "critical" (i.e., on the longest path) and which have "total float" (i.e., can be delayed without making the project longer). In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities which add up to the longest overall duration, regardless if that longest duration has float or not. This determines the *shortest time possible to complete the project.\ "*

Complexity and/or Time estimates can be stuffed into nonexclusive namespaced label names on GitHub/GitLab/Gitea:

  #ComplexityEstimate: 
  C:1
  C: Fibonacci[n]
  C: (A), J, Q, K, (A)

  #TimeEstimate:
  T:2d
  T:5m

  #Good First Issue
GitLab EE and Gitea have time tracking on Issues and Pull Requests.

Gitea has untyped Issue dependency edges, but there could probably easily be another column in the is-it-a through table for the many-to-many Issue edges table to support typed edges with URIs i.e. JSONLD RDF.

GitLab Free supports the "relates to" Linked Issue relation; EE also supports "blocks"/"is blocked by".

Does it support Markdown? That's what I find lacking in many of these PM tools - they either use some custom, complicated markup, or wysiwyg, which makes it hard to format text properly and copy and paste text.

I'm a solo founder working on a project management tool which supports markdown. Take a look. :) https://macroapp.io

Looks nice. do you have a mobile app?

And the probabilities could be a result of an intra-team prediction market. Half-joking.

FYI, ClickUp does have real-time chat which is I think the only feature you note on the compare page that Upbase has that ClickUp does not. Also, this might not be a popular opinion but this sales pitch just doesn’t do it for me, “At first, it might seem great that you can do everything with [ClickUp], but after a while, you realize you don’t need that many features.”

It would be nice to see a comparison with Linear.
