We used to use Redmine and it was a fantastic piece of software.
That's actually reassuring to hear. Aside from Chilli, it's the only program I've ever used (12 years going). I've got teamates pushing for changes but jira comes at a high cost. Redmine may look old and I hate that it's written on ruby, but it's free and with some plugins it's been able to suite our needs well.
I use both Redmine and Jira at work. I don't know if we're using an older version but Redmine feels like something from 2001. Even the API for it is unpleasant.
Maybe it’s not changed then because I was using it in the early 2000s. 😀
That's the point, it's not flashy but everything loads instantly and you get work done in no time. 2000s style.
I find it an active hindrance to my work. To the point where I have written tools to read data from it via the API rather than use its infuriating interface.
I'm glad it works for you but to me it's a bit too minimalist. Its user interface is comparable to the forums I was using in 2002. I'd rather something more akin to the ones I was using in 2006.
Fair enough
While I don’t like the main Jira software, the Jira Service Management part is actually kind of decent for my needs. It basically allows me to create a help desk for my small business, where they can report issues and I can view them in the Jira app. It’s somewhat limited on the free tier, only allowing 3 agents, but it works plenty fine for my use case.
As for the actual Jira software, I wouldn’t use it, since my workflow needs don’t require it.
This sign is a despicable lie.
Starting a new week on Monday, wondering how they f up tge experience on that web site this time....
