We greatly appreciate the meticulous design and user-friendly approach taken by Linear. Their work serves as a true inspiration to us. However, Plane have implemented all the concepts of Linear in a simpler terminology, making it more accessible to a wider range of users. Additionally, we are proud to make Plane an open-source project, which fosters collaboration within the community.

Hey, Our philosophy behind Plane is based on the concept of "Tasks meets Method." We have specifically designed this product to accommodate various project management practices such as Agile or Waterfall, allowing you to seamlessly implement the framework of your choice. The core idea behind Plane is to provide a solution that is both simple to use and highly extensible. Unlike other tools such as Focalboard, which solely focuses on Kanban, or Taiga, which strictly adheres to Agile principles, and Redmine, which serves as a more general project management tool, Plane aims to offer a versatile platform that combines simplicity with flexibility.

Height is a very general tool with it's focus on various kinds of teams. With Plane you do that as well. But it's focus is more on the Method. Method or the framework of choice that the team wants to use to manage their projects.

I agree to the idea of not ignoring Indian names. We do have India names as well on certain screenshots. To distribute well we used all kinds of names. We tried our best to globalize.

We have a singular focus working only on Plane and making it big for everyone. We are still in early stages, so had to rush on few decisions, but we treat every user the same.

Youtrack is great but complicated with it's UX. Code level extensibility with Project management tools is near zero. We are working on our extensibility framework called Propel, it gives you the ability to write code with React to extend Plane. Open-sourcing in Q3 2023.

Hey, Linear is opinionated in it's philosophy of Project management and the usage of terminology. We do accommodate all the features that linear has in a general way. Plane is extensible where users can build the framework of their choice.
