Show HN: Tara 2.0 – Fast Jira alternative with automation based on Git events

Hi folks, we launched to ShowHN over a year ago: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=23033387" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=23033387</a><p>Since then, we&#x27;ve continued to chip away at the problem of building responsive project management software, that syncs to Git source control and works with no setup. A re-designed Atlassian stack if you will, with automation based on Git events. So we can finally stop updating tickets as often as we do; the work is already in git, and it should be automatically reflected in our issue tracking or project management software.<p>With support from HN, we’re getting closer to this mission. You&#x27;ve spent time with us in calls, video sessions and over boba, to talk through how you ship mission-critical product updates, and how Jira continues to frustrate your teams, because it just wasn&#x27;t designed for shipping.<p>Today, we&#x27;re releasing a host of new features. Tara AI 2.0 delivers a new design optimized for creation, zero loads, automated workflows, and our new restful API.<p>Also, you can now create tasks, requirements, with automated roll-over for sprints, in 1&#x2F;4th of the time it takes in typical PM software. We&#x27;ve created a hierarchy system with a universal work drawer, so work can be viewed and organized across the workspace.<p>As always, our free plan is still free for unlimited users, with upgrades available to premium or co-pilot plans.<p>I&#x27;d love to hear your feedback &amp; thoughts. Thanks!

Can I self-host it?<p>The only reason we&#x27;re going to move away from JIRA is that Atlassian dropped server installs and is moving everyone to their cloud or datacenter products.<p>Have a great conversion from JIRA and a reasonably-priced self-hosted option, we&#x27;ll be looking at you in six months.

It&#x27;s hard to tell if it&#x27;s it integrated with Git directly or only via Github &amp; Gitlab!<p>Both Github and Gitlab have built-in project management features! Why should I use a different tool if I&#x27;m using Github&#x2F;Gitlab?

Any plans of supporting kanban boards in future? We find that kanban works very nicely to manage certain types of projects, and we&#x27;re currently using Jira&#x27;s kanban features for many projects. I&#x27;d love to see alternatives.<p>Sync&#x27;ing with self-hosted Git servers would be good to have. Many of our projects are hosted on Git servers in a &quot;secure network&quot; behind a corporate VPN that, for legal and commercial reasons, cannot be hosted externally. Any thoughts on this?

We use JIRA and GitLab at work. In the GitLab CI&#x2F;CD configuration we define a few hooks that update JIRA task status on various events (MR is created, MR is merged, etc). It&#x27;s a bit of manual work but it&#x27;s working flawlessly for years. How is it different from this offer?

Tell me about the sync... how complete is it? And the pricing... how do you accommodate OSS projects?<p>Our scenario is that our work comes in from multiple places, i.e; OSS community (one repo), SaaS offering (another repo) and Enterprise offering (another repo). What we&#x27;re trying to achieve is a single pane of glass for a team to see all of their work, but the work to remain in the respective repos. So whatever tool we use must treat Github Issues as the system of record, and any tool must reflect what it does in Github. And further, it would be great to make that single pane of glass dynamic... i.e; I&#x27;m a Prometheus engineer and I want to create a team&#x2F;project that aggregates all work on Alertmanager across all of the big projects that use it (even the ones that exist in other orgs).<p>ACK that our use-case may be at the extremes of what others do, so it&#x27;s cool if this is not yet possible.<p>Additionally with the OSS repos per-user licensing of potentially all contributors is a tough ask, we would have no control over our pricing and most contributors would be idle... they&#x27;re not employees, but we&#x27;d want to ensure the community could use&#x2F;see the same tools that we would use, how could we enable community involvement in the tools without exposing ourselves to a loss of control over the operating costs of it?

I love the pun on the front page. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

I looked but can&#x27;t see in the FAQ or anywhere - do you provide a way to migrate from Jira and do you integrate with bitbucket?

Congrats on the new launch Iba and Syed, I still remember meeting you guys years ago in LA, you&#x27;ve come a long way!<p>I&#x27;ll echo some of the other comments here that most of the bigger companies I&#x27;ve worked with want a better JIRA but are weary of smaller companies, data security, and the switching costs involved.<p>Is there a way to offer this <i>on top</i> of the existing Atlassian tools? A similar model would be something like Scratchpad for Salesforce: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scratchpad.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scratchpad.com&#x2F;</a>

Why startups don&#x27;t try to break this charge per user per month thing? Would be great to have products which would charge like $10 a month for up to 5 users or so... why so greedy and charge 10 per user? So, if small team of 5..10 people, at $8 a month per user, is like $100 a month for single service. And if startup needs like 5..10 different services to pay, it becomes like a pretty good amount for paying for different services.

i&#x27;m just going to throw out a few questions asking if features i wish these kinds of systems had are in here. maybe they are, and if they aren&#x27;t, hopefully it&#x27;s helpful!<p>what is the workflow like for going from a commit id (ala git-blame) to all available discussion and context around that change?<p>is there any sort of unified search through history that shows both changes and all discussion&#x2F;context around them? (pull requests, kanban cards, related issues and prs, design docs&#x2F;sketches&#x2F;etc, slack threads)<p>is there any workflow&#x2F;smarts for detecting recurring issues&#x2F;bugs&#x2F;fixes?<p>i used to ask &quot;can you drive most of it by email&quot; ... i guess these days it&#x27;s &quot;can you drive most of it by chat integration?&quot;

Login with google isn&#x27;t working. I&#x27;m redirect to google, select my account, and then I&#x27;m sent back to the login page.<p>edit: I just created an account using my email instead. You give a 404 after clicking &quot;take me to my workspace&quot; after the onboarding flow.

looks super clean. Jira is powerful but the UI sucks

Any integration with Notion on the roadmap? How do teams migrate from JIRA to Tara?

I like this, but my enterprise will not be switching away from Jira any time soon, which is my main problem with all these new fancy services. It just shows me what is possible, but I can never have.

Confluence is excellent. Jira is too slow and a big productivity brake. Tara seems interesting.

The website is super slow for me, which doesn&#x27;t feel like a good thing.

It&#x27;s not a &quot;Jira alternative&quot; in any sense. (Well, maybe in the sense that <i>any</i> issue tracker can be a Jira alternative.)<p>If you really want a Jira alternative, look at Youtrack.

I honestly wouldn&#x27;t use such a tool for anything mid to large size. Git is kind of a nightmare. Now, an SQL database, or a distributed key-value store, I would use as a backend.
