Tired of jumping between Jira, Slack, and Notion? Meet Huly! π
Weβve all been there. Your tasks are in Jira, your team is chatting in Slack, your documentation is buried in Notion, and your code is over on GitHub. You spend half your day just switching tabs and trying to remember where that one specific update was posted. Itβs a productivity killer, right? π±
Well, I found a tool that wants to be your "everything app" for development. Itβs called Huly. π₯³
What exactly is Huly?
Huly is an open-source, all-in-one project management platform designed specifically for developers and product teams. It doesn't just track tasks; it integrates your entire workflow from time tracking and document collaboration to instant messaging and video conferencing into one sleek interface. ποΈ
Think of it as a super-powered alternative to Linear or Jira, but with the "virtual office" vibes of Slack and the doc-editing power of Notion built right in. π

Why you should care about Huly?
Most project management tools feel like they were built for accountants, not engineers. Huly is different.
Here is why itβs gaining so much traction:
- Bidirectional GitHub Sync: This is the killer feature. You can use Huly as an advanced front-end for GitHub Issues and Projects. Changes in Huly reflect on GitHub and vice-versa! π
- Built-in Communication: No more "Is this a Slack or a Jira comment?" debate. It has integrated IM and video calling inside your workspace. π€
- Everything is Connected: Tasks, docs, and calendars are all part of the same hierarchical structure. You can tag users, link issues, and assign items without leaving the editor. π₯³
- Open Source & Self-Hostable: If youβre a privacy nerd (like me!), you can host it yourself. Your data, your rules. π

The Tech Stack Magic
For the tech-savvy folks, Huly is built with TypeScript, making it incredibly snappy and extensible. Itβs not just a wrapper; itβs a meticulously crafted ecosystem that feels fast even when youβre managing hundreds of tasks. π»

The bidirectional sync isn't just a basic webhook; itβs a deep integration that understands how developers actually work with code. π

Ready to declutter your workspace?
If you are tired of "tool fatigue" and want a unified space where your team can actually get work done, Huly is definitely worth a look. Itβs free to get started, and since itβs open-source, you can even contribute to the codebase! π₯³
