Aren't you afraid of a potential lawsuit from Linear[1]? Your interface looks like a copy paste. Dont get me wrong, it's amazing what you've build but cloning a well funded startup may not be the best strategy. 1 https://linear.app

Earlier quoted context omitted.

LibreOffice exists, doesn't it? In particular, Calc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice_Calc WPS Office is even more similar in some ways: https://www.wps.com/office/spreadsheet/ FreeOffice is also pretty much like Excel: https://www.freeoffice.com/en/features/freeoffice-planmaker OfficeSuite feels like a carbon copy: https://officesuite.com/en/sheets There's also a variety of online offerings, yet someone eve…

Those are not exact copies of the interface we're discussing here. You're basically saying that all of the work on https://dribble.com/ for example, is royalty free and I can copy whatever I see there and make it my own? In what world are you living in? Similarities in the layout, flow and overall architecture are fine, this is how you build directions in design. But you take the concept and you tweak it so that ther…

We aligned considerably and drew inspiration from similar sources, including the same CSS framework style (Shadcn UI) (Opensource). However, we've made several changes based on our users' needs:

1. We determined that the "my-issues" page needed revisions, so we removed it and are currently reimagining how we can improve this feature.

2. We decided to add a company filter and are in the process of implementing it.

3. We altered some icons and other elements because they didn't align with our vision, like the "Issues" icon.

4. We also removed the title feature from the create issue workflow.

5. We are also adding the feedback module.

As you begin using the tool, you'll discover areas we're actively improving based on our ongoing conversations with customers. We've only been working for 2-3 months, but we're continuously striving to enhance the product based on the feedback we receive.

I'd love a local-first software that stores issue data on Git itself. Does something like that exist? Kind of like Fossil's ticket management, but based on Git.

What a great idea. Would love to see a project having a repo with separate src, docs, tickets folder, with infra having the ui to manage the non code contents.

I’d hate having 30 edits to a ticket description polluting my git log.

Good stuff, like the AI approach to this. On Jira, I keep hearing the criticism of Jira on this forum a lot, but IMO it's not that bad product. Jira is used by all industries, not just by software management. Making a tool has to be a "silver bullet" for managing any kind of project is not easy. Tell me a better PM tool which is as widely used as Jira.

I appreciate that what Jira is trying to do is hard. That might mean that it's trying to do too much and the industry would be better picking a different set of tools that don't try to do as much.

However, the biggest problem is one of misaligned incentives. Jira is meant to make a director's job easier at the expense of everyone else. It's a bit like Coupa: Coupa nearly requires an administrator, and increases the cognitive load of everyone in the org, but it makes the job of the accountants so much easier that people live with it.

(That said, I will be interested in how AI and Atlassian end up interacting. We all know it's coming.)

Jira is extremely customisable. The "too complicated and enables a lot of processes and micro-management which used to kill our productivity" thing is a matter of management in the company, or whoever controls the implementation of project management flows, rather than Jira itself. I'm not a fan of Jira and avoid it if I can, but it has never reduced my overall "productivity", putting some text in some forms and clic…

It's the same issue every time someone tries to brand themselves as an alternative to Jira. They implement 10/20% of the features, typically part of the task/bug-tracker and maybe the KANBAN boards and completely ignores the rest. The fact that products and startups feel the need to brand themselves as "Jira alternatives" says a lot about the absolute dominance of Jira in some markets. You're just not going to replac…

If there wasn’t a market for alternatives, people wouldn’t spend their time building them or marketing themselves as them.

I think a lot of the criticism of jira really boils down to bad practices and being a bit careless with it.

However, jira’s performance when it comes to load times, query times, opening and updating tickets, etc. truly does warrant criticism. It introduces a substantial amount of friction when trying to manage multiple tickets, or just get things done.

There's a ludicrous aspect to software development, which is if you ask around about early uses of computers you'll run into lots of people doing critical path analysis for other industries, yet we have persisted in pretending software development is somehow unique and does not actually work like this. The whole idea humans should be prioritizing tasks has been wrong from the start, and indicates a lack of the right…

CRitical path works well when you have a clear idea of how long tasks generally take. with software its much harder to evaluate the length of the work for something you implement for the first time.
