This looks the exact same as every other project management tool out there. What differentiates this? Project Management is an incredibly crowded space.

Yes, It is but we built the product as a simple easy to use task and a resource management tool

Just like to-do list apps, everyone thinks the solution to not being productive is a technical one.

  And sw engineers feel very productive building a productivity tool, which is just an elaborate procrastination technique for sw developers.

What are the top open source told would you say that compete with this?

  OpenProject, Taiga, Redmine, Focalboard, Plane, ... Plus all the "knowledge management" apps (Affine, ...) plus all the project hosting platforms (GitLab, Gitea, ...)

So crowded And still not universally solved Maybe generally but details don’t get handled well

  Maybe because there is no universal solution? Different teams work in different ways and I don't believe one tool can solve for all of them effectively without being mediocre at best for all or most use cases. (Jira comes to mind.) You're better off using simple, opinionated software that fits the way your team works.

    I tend to think that the underlying issue is that collaborative/group planning software usually isn't starting from first principles but is just a list of attributes people think they need or that are memetic/familiar. Based on my experience I think a universal solution will have a starting point in the individual and will evolve from something like obsidian or emacs (but it will probably never evolve from a consumer hostile community/platform like emacs)... and will eventually be akin to a full OS replacement. For any given universal interface you have to make it extensible, interoperable and personal (for some given definition of personal) and no software organized around a group can get there without a fundemental rework. Honestly, I think for large commercial players (products like MacOs) it's more likely for us to get there after AI conversational interfaces are fully synthesized and OS' are fundementally reevaluated for production after they lose their relevance in other general computing ways.

    The best highly-opinionated product management (not project management) alternative to Jira is Linear.app - it is sooo good I can’t begin to do it justice.
