Having been stuck for years in the atlassan ecosystem, changing my opinion from cool, this is nice to … burn it to the ground.

This is interesting and I hope it takes off

Ha, I didn't hate it all that much. I advocated for FOSS but was overruled, but I didn't find it all that painful interacting with JIRA... but yes, having an open source alternative will be way better.

It was having to use the marketplace, and seeing the deliberate control of data that ensured the highly inflated costs were paid.

I do not know if they ever allowed a full export of data: but what data was entered was used like a hostage later, blocking exit or integration with other tool chains.

For anyone reading this who are considering this set of services: run.

Has anyone actually used OpenProject?

I struggled with it when setting it up in my homelab.

Seems like the UI hasn’t changed from the early aughts. Reminded me of old school Microsoft dynamics

Good news only slightly undermined by the fact that Atlassian is not an American company or close to it
