Our startup is one of the happy users of self-hosted Taiga [1] [2], it is much better than a combination of Jira and confluence. It has all the features and much more with both a complete open source and SaaS offering. It supports both "scrum" and kanban style development with card layout which rivals trello. It features many importers, integrations and provides an open API to build new one's easy. Depending on the company's policy it can be deployed in their own environment, cloud of their choice or just sign up for SaaS. It has a beautiful interface with PWA and mobile apps on app store using its API, by other developers.

gotta say I found 'taiga' confusing as hell. I eventually found a small pale grey floppy disk image (on white background) as the magic thing to click when typing in comments. That alone cost far more vs any benefit I had using taiga. Perhaps the folks who set it up for me to use chose a weird theme?

  Yes possible they choose something. We have been using it for quite some time. It also server as an example how to build a nice single page progressive web app for the team. Although we don't use coffeescript, its' nice implemention. Also there design assets [1] are also open source, so indeed if your team wants can change those minor icons or other details.

dragonsh, are you affiliated with Taiga ? I remember seeing you post a similar comment when I looked at the zepel thread this weekend.... or are you just a satisfied customer ?

  No I am not an affiliate of Taiga. In our startup we use self-hosted Taiga. We neither subscribed or paid to Taiga. Their system helped us and served as one example of a beautiful API based app. So as my startup don't pay anything to Taiga. I feel this is the least I can do, if my evangelism can help them indirectly. Open source is built on community which works when everyone returns or contribute back in some way. This I thought is one way, I feel better. Although once my startup becomes bigger I would like to contribute code and enhancement to it. But at least this small thing makes me feel bit better, otherwise I will feel like a leecher. Indeed I and my team do the same for other parts we use like kallithea-scm, mercurial, many python, golang libraries, obviously Linux, postgresql and other infrastructure software.

Last time I checked the install instructions require an ancient version of Ubuntu. [0] How did you deal with this? http://taigaio.github.io/taiga-doc/dist/setup-production.html http://taigaio.github.io/taiga-doc/dist/setup-production.htm...
