What HN said

What people liked

  • Clean, attractive interface

    From 3 comments
    • Nice. Clean layout. Much prettier than jira. When viewing a story, it'd be nice to be able to change the status without going into edit mode. Or something like a transition (aka…

    • Looks great, can't wait to see the demo, and the acknowledgement of entering an already crowded space. Personally I think many of the tools that are out there right now could…

    • The task board and sprint planing looks really good (even if it seems that they mix up two different methods with Kanban & SCRUM). I wish github would provide similar…

  • CLI and vagrant box available

    From 2 comments
    • They have a CLI interface in addition to the web interface. That's a refreshing feature. They also have a vagrant box which you can use to take it for a spin until the live…

Objections

  • Page animation causes high CPU usage

    From 3 comments
    • Looks interesting, but I couldn't keep the site open for long because it was eating both of my two CPU cores. Firefox 32.0.3 on Ubuntu About 62 % of time is spent in…

    • Very strange! I have opened a issue for review that strange behavior. Seems something related to graphics. Thanks!

    • The browser is constantly repainting the polygon background at the top of the page, even when you've scrolled past it.

  • Live instance does not load

    From 2 comments
    • The "open live instance" doesn't do anything for me. Tried Firefox and Chromium.
      nawitus on HN
    • And what guestimates would those be? I doubt they are serving 10TB in static files per month. If adding a CDN to your architecture is too much complication then I would…

  • Project creation fails in Safari and iOS

    From 2 comments
    • Trying to create a project, but it fails silently in Safari 7.1. Console shows: ``` Error: [$rootScope:inprog] $apply already in progress…

    • Trying to create a project on iOS gave me no love. Possibly this is related to the existing safari issue someone already mentioned.

  • Light text hard to read on home page

    From 2 comments
    • Some of the text on the home page is extremely light. It makes it hard to read against the white background. From a designing standpoint I would suggest to darken that text up a…

    • Is it possible to change the font? It is so, narrow and tall. Something else I'd like to see. Make empty columns more narrow when empty to preserve space when it can be done. A…

Requests

  • Multi-project backlog or overview

    From 2 comments
    • Looks nice so far. Looking forward to the "live instance", assuming it will be a pre-populated project showing off all of the functionality. I manage multiple concurrent…
      stronglikedan on HN
    • Looks beautiful. Our workflow however requires us to view multiple projects under one backlog/workboard. I can't seem to find a way to do that, which is a bummer because this is…

  • Git and GitHub integration

    From 3 comments
    • Is there any such tool (free or not) that integrates with GitHub and it is ready to use? It would be great to not maintain 2 issues list, 2 milestones etc.
      CCs on HN
    • Does this have some kind of git integration? Like linking to commits/branches
      JelteF on HN
    • Are there any plans to add git branch/commit intergration?

  • Epics or sub-projects

    From 1 comment
    • It looks very nice and easy to use. Question though. Do you have something for Epics like in Jira, or a way to create sub-projects for a project?

    From 1 comment
    • This looks great at first. We will see if the flow is useful to enough people and if it's worth paying vs other options available right now. Project management software is hard…

Questions

  • How is the infrastructure hosted and how did it handle traffic?

    From 1 comment
    • Great job, both taiga and managing the peak so well. Any tips about the infraestructure you are running? Relaying on any PaSS or managing yourself?

  • How does it compare to existing tools like DoneDone or Odoo?

    From 2 comments
    • The kanban approach is quite similar to Odoo Project. You can test the online demo: http://bit.ly/1CGha87 The Odoo Project website: https://www.odoo.com/page/project-management…
