       | Hi HN,
       | 
       | Vihar here, one of the maintainers at Plane
       | (https://github.com/makeplane/plane).
       | 
       | Last time, we shared how we reached 15K stars on GitHub in less
       | than a year, pushing Plane to the top spot in #project-
       | management. The post received great feedback from the HN
       | community, and we noticed comments about lapses in self-hosting.
       | 
       | We took on the challenge, rethought the entire Docker setup, made
       | it single-click, and provided a maintenance script.
       | 
       | Now, we share our journey to over 100K+ Docker pulls and 44K+ K8
       | deploys in this blog. Please let us know what we could improve.
       | 
       | Hope you enjoy the article. Feedback welcome!
       | 
       | Thanks,

       | Anyone have thoughts about the usability of this vs Linear,
       | especially when it comes to simplicity and UI performance?

         | Linear is an opinionated tool for product teams. At Plane, we
         | strive to develop a versatile tool that accommodates teams of
         | all sizes and types.
         | 
         | For example, Linear begins with the creation of a team, whereas
         | we initiate with the creation of a project, subsequently
         | integrating teams as needed. Currently, Plane is being utilized
         | by a spectrum of users, ranging from small indie game
         | developers to large enterprises. In Linear, the starting point
         | always revolves around forming a team.

       | very cool!
       | 
       | we use GitHub issues/projects and we're pretty happy with it.
       | Github invested a lot to revamp projects over the past 3 years
       | and it shows. would love to hear from anyone who's tried both how
       | these compare.

         | GitHub imposes numerous limitations on custom fields, issue
         | automation, dashboards, workflow rules, and more. Being open-
         | source, Plane offers significant advantages to our customers by
         | providing opportunities for learning and by striving to develop
         | a tool that caters to the diverse needs of individuals and
         | teams, facilitating progress.
         | 
         | Just as an example, while GitHub projects is great, tools like
         | Plane (with bi-directional sync)/ZenHub still are trying to do
         | a better job.

       | It's confusing to me that the pricing says it's per user if you
       | self host the pro tier?

         | We also offer a one-time perpetual license for growing teams
         | (Plane One: https://plane.so/one), while the Pro and other
         | plans (which come with AI) are designed for large companies; we
         | follow the same pricing model as GitLab.
         | 
         | Additionally, there's always a free community edition
         | available, which doesn't restrict the number of users.
