They have "Enterprise" features that don't appear to be "open source". It's "Open Source", but only the simple parts we didn't think were big money makers?

Anything you need to on board but not really useful in real life scenario
oh wow... another semi-open source project management software. another one! Just what we waited for!
Like Open Project, Leantime, Taiga, etc. etc.
God damn it, build one fully open source and free or update Redmine properly.
How are projects like this created?
This github repo is 6 months old, they already have 18+k stars and over 800 forks.
This looks like some overfunded pseudo-FOSS shit. Make the bare minimum open source and sell the rest to enterprises.
Why not take the money and really fund an existing project like kanboard or redmine?
I mean ffs kanboard is at least 10 years old and has less than 8k stars on github.

On phone rn, but I'd love to see someone run the fake star checking project at projects like this.
I am on the phone too, but loaded it onto my server. It's currently running. We'll see.
Edit: So its legit? Wow...
Building trust report...ok

they look ugly. plane looks like linear which is a win in my book
With $4M you could round the edges and then some.
I think that open source people should also be able to recognize that always sponsoring a new project is not the open source way.
They could have given established software a facelift and added a lot more features and this would have been better for the open source world than what they did.
I mean it's not wrong what they did. They just shouldn't get as much praise for making it open source.
Imagine everyone creating their own versioning system because they don't like githubs frontend.
I think we're thinking about it wrong. These aren't open source people looking to contribute to projects. These are product creators looking to reach the open source community. It's not the same mindset.
Oh, I do know that. But lots of folks even here don't and that is my problem with all that.
The FOSS community shouldn't praise them or companies like them simply for open sourcing the MVP of a new product.
That's a fair take
Imagine everyone creating their own versioning system because they don’t like githubs frontend.
I have no problem with that if they offer something new to the space
Yes, but the only thing they add is enterprise addons. We don't need more of those.
Another terrible, terrible name... name = rand_select(dictionary)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Companies on the hunt for comprehensive project management and issue tracking tooling aren’t exactly short of options, with the likes of Atlassian’s Jira serving software development teams well for more than two decades.
Co-founder and CEO Vamsi Kurama says the number one advantage of being open source is privacy and security — companies can have complete control over their data, with full visibility into the inner-workings of the Plane platform.
Founded last November by brothers Vamsi and Vihar Kurama, the initial Plane GitHub repository actually preceded the formal launch by several months, though it was primarily an internal tool to help the creators deal with various pain-points they suffered when managing clients at a previous IT consulting company they worked at.
Through various iterations, Plane went live 12 months ago, and today it offers features such as issue planning and tracking, with the option to customize the project layout for list, Kanban and calendar views.
It also supports sprint planning with “cycles” replete with insights on progress, and the ability to break down larger projects into modular chunks that can be assigned to specific teams or personnel.
The fresh cash injection will help Plane turbo-charge its product development in the coming year, including a new feature called Vault for engineering teams to store and share authentication “secrets” securely.
The original article contains 849 words, the summary contains 218 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
including a new feature called Vault for engineering teams to store and share authentication "secrets" securely
oh my god
This is completely standard for release management systems
Countdown to breach...
I'm Happy to see more competition for jira. Jira has been around for 20 years but honestly it looks and acts the same as it did 20 years ago, except slower if you had the sense to provision it well on bare metal back then. The jira in the cloud experience at many companies has been less than stellar.
