Objections
Mac only; not usable for teams on Windows or Linux
From 3 comments
Looks neat. It's a bummer that it's Mac-only
nathas on HNLooks nice. Also looks utterly unusable unless you can guarantee that everyone you work with runs a Mac, which is not an option.
tokenizerrr on HNiOS/OSX only? Meh. The real need is on every platform you haven't yet developed for. At my work right now we use TFS built in tracking tools. I can't even begin to described how…

Requires Yosemite 10.10 or later
From 2 comments
Why would you make it require Yosemite 10.10? This is absurd developer laziness. Spend an hour making it compatible with OS versions from the last couple of years. There's no…

LocalPCGuy on HNConsensus seems to be that we need to build out the web client next. We always planned to make a web version, but don't expect we'll be able to do too much better than existing…

Self-hosting and open source server
From 1 comment
I like native part, I like offline support (sometimes have to work without Internet). I don't like cloud nature (if I understood it correctly, I can't host my own server) and…

Customer-facing issue filing and commenting
From 1 comment
I'd actually be interested in trying this, since I have a lot of issues and I'm getting frustrated with Github issues. But I'd need my users to be able to file and comment on…

What will the pricing be like?
acgourley on HNI like this. A lot. What's the pricing? SaaS vs one time fee?

I kind of wish that software issue trackers/ALM/SCM/whatever-the-fuck-its-called-today would be a bit more opinionated and enforce some set of practices. I think some people are…

Bugs Everywhere and ditz
From 2 comments
This is exactly what Bugs Everywhere does: http://www.bugseverywhere.org/
ProfDreamer on HNI tried using that sort of setup for a while (with ditz), and it really doesn't work as well as you'd think it might. Issues mostly want to refer to the global state of the…
