Earlier quoted context omitted.

> 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.

Please make it multilingual (Spanish). Some people here don’t speak good english

> 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.

^ You nailed it. The only issue tracker you need today comes with your source code repo. Both github and gitlab are not only more than sufficient, they are arguably better because the stripped down natures keeps people from doing silly things like all the jira anti-patterns.

One of the things I like most about Jira is the ability to execute useful queries via REST on the data stored in there.

Most of the times when I read some post about Jira alternatives is that they completely ignore this topic.

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

Maybe because so is the 5th of a scale, and this has 5/8ths of the features of Jira?

For potentially confused people out there: some countries/musical traditions use a do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti(si) scale, rather than do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si or a-b-c-d-e-f-g.

This has the interesting side effect that the word solfege (sol-fa) makes little sense.

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.

Just because your project is serious doesn't mean you should be looking at 300 things at once. Hence a kanban board.

Or as they call it outside of the agile industrial complex, a to-do list. Nobody is stopping you from keeping one.

For me the problem is more that 'agile' is now a buzzword and companies try to apply it to lots of things where it doesn't really work. In our company our CIO declared everything should be agile. So now we log our hours in Jira. That's it :P supposedly that makes us agile or something.

That sounds like micromanagement. Are you a contractor?

I think Notion (my employer) https://notion.so/product made it popular. However .so gave us a lot of trouble over the years, so I wouldn’t recommend.

Out of interest: what sort of troubles has it given? (if you're able to say)
