Hacker News comments
- Huly – Open-source project management platform | Hacker News
- Self-hosting an application is hard when you have to run several open-source servers and services. This calls for different trade-offs than a typical SaaS backend architecture
- Using SQLite and local disk storage to minimize the components to operate and scale
- Huly looks like a great product, but not considering self-hosting it
- "хули" in Russian means "what" or, more strongly, "what the hell is this"
- The name is reminiscent of the PizData project
- Even small improvements can bring big gains
- Hope Huly succeeds
- Integration with O365 is one of the reasons for MS Teams' popularity
- The company pays $20k each for Jira & Confluence and Slack, and this platform claims it can replace them for $3600/year
- Promising in that it is open source
- Linear, Jira, and Notion may be possible, but competing with Slack is hard
- Cites the case of JetBrains Space and suggests dropping the chat feature and focusing on replacing Jira + Notion
- The plans are generous and suit small teams
- Good first impression
- Linear lacks flexibility, making it hard to define a proper candidate pipeline
- Small companies don't need dedicated solutions and want lighter ones
- Competing with Slack at the same time seems too ambitious
