How are projects like this created?
This github repo is 6 months old, they already have 18+k stars and over 800 forks.
This looks like some overfunded pseudo-FOSS shit. Make the bare minimum open source and sell the rest to enterprises.
Why not take the money and really fund an existing project like kanboard or redmine?
I mean ffs kanboard is at least 10 years old and has less than 8k stars on github.
they look ugly. plane looks like linear which is a win in my book
With $4M you could round the edges and then some.
I think that open source people should also be able to recognize that always sponsoring a new project is not the open source way.
They could have given established software a facelift and added a lot more features and this would have been better for the open source world than what they did.I mean it’s not wrong what they did. They just shouldn’t get as much praise for making it open source.
Imagine everyone creating their own versioning system because they don’t like githubs frontend.Imagine everyone creating their own versioning system because they don’t like githubs frontend.
I have no problem with that if they offer something new to the space
Yes, but the only thing they add is enterprise addons. We don’t need more of those.
I think we’re thinking about it wrong. These aren’t open source people looking to contribute to projects. These are product creators looking to reach the open source community. It’s not the same mindset.
Oh, I do know that. But lots of folks even here don’t and that is my problem with all that.
The FOSS community shouldn’t praise them or companies like them simply for open sourcing the MVP of a new product.

On phone rn, but I’d love to see someone run the fake star checking project at projects like this.
I am on the phone too, but loaded it onto my server. It’s currently running. We’ll see.
Edit: So its legit? Wow…

oh wow… another semi-open source project management software. another one! Just what we waited for!
Like Open Project, Leantime, Taiga, etc. etc.
God damn it, build one fully open source and free or update Redmine properly.
