  • I guess everyone uses 20% percent of Jira - just a different 20% ... [1]

    We're using GitHub for everything here, but was using Jira as an email first helpdesk.

    Was hoping this was that - but apparently not at all.

    We almost went with libredesk - but it's a little too simple (no merging tickets?). We're giving FreeScout a go - looks like we might need the oauth2 plugin to work with o365 mail ...

    > A lot of software developers are seduced by the old “80/20” rule. It seems to make a lot of sense: 80% of the people use 20% of the features. So you convince yourself that you only need to implement 20% of the features, and you can still sell 80% as many copies.

    > Unfortunately, it’s never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features.

  • I'm using GitHub issues and GitHub Projects with `gh` cli and I find it works well, though what I really like about this is your project level chat. I find myself having to come back to a project level session often. May give this a try, just hesitant to put it on something that's in-flight with already lots of stuff, will have to be a net new project.

  • I can't believe you guys give this for free. I was considering buying "Linear", now I just saved 10$/month with this. Thank you so much

  • I've been trying keeping an eye on open source issue trackers/project managament tools I can self-host -- with good cli/mcp capabilities. So quite happy to see this as I feel there isn't a lot! (currently also using gh issues) will check it out!

  • Specifically on the AI side, how does it compare to beads?

  • You can take it a step further and strip out the frontend. Honestly. Nobody needs it and if you need any UI stuff it in the MCP.

    This is what I did with this project https://github.com/crmkit/crmkit/ and to be honest the approach grows on me and fits well if you are a backend person.

  • What are people's workflows these days?

    As I use claude more and more I've started using git worktrees, one branch per worktree per PR, with possibly multiple agents working in each worktree at the same time on different aspects. And I manually instruct those agents. Like Emdash/Cursor/Zed. Sometimes I review code locally, sometimes agents push and I review in GitHub, no clear system yet. (jj seems promising, but Zed doesn't seem to support jj as well as git, so have delayed looking at it.)

    But Paca is hinting in another direction where the agents are more in control of the branches/worktrees to use and are created by the agent? What tooling is used to support such flows? Would people use GitHub with Paca or is GitHub redundant as well.
