Thank you for posting this.
Looks pretty basic but somehow complete. The first impression is good. Here's some criticism:
The first thing I look for in a issue tracker is the screen estate to write the task. I understand that some people write a list of issues in the form of short blurbs and iterate on them afterwards, but it always feels frustrating to me to having to write the title in a modal window, save and then open the issue again to be able to see a larger textarea for the description. I also see it as discouraging for people to write better descriptions for the issues they open.
The keyboard navigation is probably not complete (press P to create a project, you would still need the mouse to focus the textbox and to save the project)
On my computer it started in Dark Mode, and the experience overall was quite a bit disorientating. Also no light/mode switch icon in the header.
It is not clear to the user that you can/should use markdown.

I don't really know that you need a light/dark mode switch. It should follow your preferences. I see dark mode websites all the time, because my desktop is set to dark mode. On my Windows machine I see the same websites with the light-mode, because I did not bother to figure out how to set Windows to dark-mode. [EDIT: The Plane App ignores my preferences].
- wink 3y agoYes of course you need one, the detection is what I can call flaky at best (talking about the websites I visit, not that the tech doesn't exist) and also I know many people who only run a good chunk of websites on their actual preference, and others on the other version, I'm one of them, I only use dark mode in about 1/3 of websites where I know about the two modes.

- kristofferg 3y agoLots of dovnvotes. I am curious to know the reasoning behind these. :)
- jitl 3y agoYou made a rude low quality joke comment that did not contribute to the discussion. So, downvote.
- kristofferg 3y agoInteresting - thanks for sharing your perspective. It certainly was not meant rude or as a joke.
- lolinder 3y agoI come to HN for high-quality discussion. If I were looking for snark and meme content I'd be on Reddit. In this particular case, your parent made a very reasonable case that a web app could simply choose to respect the system light/dark mode and that would be enough. I happen to disagree with them, but they were sincerely contributing to the discussion. You came along with a 4-word + emoticon + hashtag parody of what they said that was inaccurate and frankly rude. I came away from your comment not at all sure what point you were trying to make but 100% sure that your comment wasn't contributing to an interesting discussion. Here's a possible rewrite, assuming your objection was that some computers don't support system theming: > If you only support system themes, you're excluding a large number of older systems that don't have their own light and dark modes. A toggle wouldn't take up much space in the header and would help those users to use the mode they prefer.
- kristofferg 3y agoI see your point - I suppose it was quite snarky. My take is (and I suspect the same as the people who upvoted my comment) that the comment was disregarding another persons feature request/preferences based because the did not match his/her own. It is an, in my experience, attitude not uncommon - and it (unfortunately) gets my blood boiling every time.
- oefnak 3y agoNo, some applications work better in light mode, some in dark mode.
- AntonCTO 3y agoAnd sometimes it depends on the environment outside of the computer.
- aaryan610 3y agoHi, I am Aaryan, one of the maintainers at Plane. We currently have the theming settings available under the profile section, where you can set themes like light, dark, custom themes, and more. Thank you for your suggestion; we will certainly work on implementing the system preference setting and find a better placement for the theme switcher.

- CharlesW 3y agoHey Aaryan, I just signed up and am taking the tour, and the body copy (#737373 on #070707) is effectively unreadable while sitting outside with my MacBook Air at max brightness. (Hacker News remains easy to read in the same scenario.) For accessibility's sake, it'd be nice if the site met WCAG Level AAA contrast ratio requirements.
