GitHub Issues is all you need? In combination with projects and milestones, I feel like it can be more than enough for many use cases.

#82I love self-hosted Gitea. Much more lightweight than GitLab, and supports issue tracking just like GitHub’s.
Simple, fast, gets the job done.

#83Is this production ready? Docs seem to sugget it's a huge WIP.

#84I'm all for open source task trackers, but the UI in most parts is a rip off of Linear.
Well, I believe everyone is following on the Tailwind Template UI designs with Neumorphic-ish patterns these days. For instance, check these templates and tell me you haven't stumbled on new Startups launches these days with strikingly similar designs. Personally, I'm perfectly fine as long as they are pleasing to look and nice to use. - https://spotlight.tailwindui.com - https://pocket.tailwindui.com - https://proto…

#85Okay it's open source but self-hosting it is not straightforward. The repo's self-hosting doc link returns a 404. Then after manually finding https://docs.plane.so/self-hosting/self-hosting , I am warned that there is a dizzying array of 4 env files. I suppose they are in a tricky situation, in that while they want to stand out as open source, actually having people easily self-host it, is perhaps, not a goal that is…
Spent 10 minutes trying to get it running locally, couldn't. They suddenly mention nginx in the self hosting docs - why?! I don't understand open source projects that required you to fiddle around with scripts, environment files, reverse proxies etc to try the platform out! docker compose up should "just work" ™.
well some people like docker and some don't. If you are in the self-hosting realm, personally I think it is fair that the people doing it knows about DevOp or systemadmin, or else pay someone to host it for you.

#86Earlier quoted context omitted.
I read it as addressing the “who cares about stars” that I have whenever someone mentions stars. So it was like a developer saying “I know stars are a dumb and imperfect way to judge a project, but here’s what it is.” If they hadn’t written this I would think they put too much weight on what’s really not a very important measure.
The problem isn’t that stars are imperfect, but they have become gamified. The emphasis on GitHub stars as a form of authority makes me trust this project even less. You’d expect VCs to do due diligence on the authenticity and quality of GitHub reviews, but I’m dubious about that, whether they are doing so out of willful ignorance or not is a separate question. All of the contributors on this project are from the cou…
I agree on the gamification, but I think they are still useful.
I mean this project has 18k stars that just tells me it’s popular. It’s possible they bought fake stars but at 18k that would be strange.
I think stars are useless for comparing a 17k project to an 18k project and anyone comparing that way would be flagged by me as not so smart.
But it is useful to distinguish something with just a few stars from thousands.
The challenge is that there’s not really a good way to tell what a successful project is short of looking at it closely and using it. I’d like a better measure, but this is what we have.

#87> See what 2,300+ folks in a forum get up to oh okay > Join our Discord sadness. where's the forum?
Its amazing to me that it has become such a default, similarly to Slack before it. At least some Slack communities tried and worked on getting the channels indexed so that it shows up during web searches, now with discord I need an account just to view the content... A hard pass from me, especially when an answer to a simple question requires me to drink from their firehose of a search...
I always go with discord in newer projects. Why? I feel like most people have discord nowadays and it just works (TM). I rarely have a case where a person said that they can’t join because they don’t have discord or don’t want to create an account because other reasons.
Beside that, money is also a big factor. Slack for example is getting more expensive for communities.

#88I will try this out as a tool to manage my private tasks. I always wanted something like Jira for my personal life.
I know it is owned by Atlassian now but Trello is a very nice tool for this.
I've been using it for more than 10 years now to track personal todos and projects.
The phone app is also smooth and to the point.

It’s funny as I think discord is actually kind of harder to get into than the old irc method. With irc there was no history or permanence so there was a relationship between discussion and what made it into the project as source or docs. With discord it’s weird because the expectation seems to be on me to wade through hundreds or thousands of messages to find docs because there are people who hang out and read everyt…
Discord does have an okayish search feature which gave me a desired answer most of the time I joined a server because of a particular program I had. Enormous downside being that you have to guess the previously used wording if you don't have an error message or something.
I don’t want to join a server to search. It’s kind of an expensive action. And it’s sticky. I don’t like joining things and having more clutter.
So in discord it’s like this:
-join server
-search
-figure out how to leave server
On IRC it’s like this:
-join channel
-ask question
-get directed to wiki or forum
-search forum
-never have to leave anything
-or better yet that wiki or forum is indexed so I just google and find my answer that way

#90https://docs.plane.so/self-hosting Gives a 404. I hope they see this message, it was the only thing I wanted to read really.
This one works: https://docs.plane.so/self-hosting/self-hosting
Not for me it doesn't. 404. Here's the real link: https://docs.plane.so/self-hosting/docker-compose
