Shared responsibility is no responsibility.

Sure, but you can have plenty of options where there's one responsible person, but you may still want to track another person who's involved. Maybe another engineer who's paired on the project, or the PM who's taking point on it, or the QA who's testing it, or the other engineer who's reviewing it. Having to rely on comments or assignment history to uncover that information is a bad experience.

Sure. Maybe there needs to be an owner/assignees distinction?

> 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.

And sometimes it depends on the environment outside of the computer.

Wouldn’t child tickets address that problem?

Looks very promising I will give it a try. Related: I would love to see an open source confluence alternative as well, as for issues there are many (more or less capable) options to choose from.

What I most want from a Confluence alternative, and I have a few poor ideas how this can be solved, is a way to manage stale content. The Confluence spaces I work with are dumping grounds of old, often misleading, information.

Deduplication guidance, reports on untouched content…I don’t know how to fix this, but someone surely can solve it.

It would be nice if someone implemented a clone of Bugzilla functionality using modern tech. Jira is the wrong thing to copy imho.

Bugzilla still exists. And if you think something is the wrong thing to copy, just copy the "right" thing yourself.

It's also valid to make a comment where a bunch of developers might see it, and hope one of them agrees and has the time and skills to do it.

Or maybe just to reach someone who never used bugzilla and doesn't realize it's light-years better than jira or rally.
