We've been using Tara at Placenote for about a year now and I'm excited to see how fast the platform has progressed to become a fully featured project management tool. We enjoy the simplicity of the sprint planning tools and have grown to love the git automations. It's made it so much easier to sync our work that we've actually started referring to projects by their Tara task IDs!

@neilxm Cool username. I can hear music just typing it. Thanks a ton for your support Neil, it's truly been amazing to see how the Dabble community is growing. And yesss on the Task ID piece- we just had the same thing happen internally. We could also create a quick button to initiate a slack channel on a task (with the ID name) to start convos around the tasks.
Neil Mathew
@ibamasood that's interesting. a separate channel for a task ID might not make sense for us although @pj_mukh can shed some light here. What I think could help a lot is making it easier to consistently link TaskIDs with git commits. Right now I have to go back to Tara to check the TaskID prior to committing and this leads to inconsistencies in usage. Perhaps a CLI tool that lets me pull up a list of tasks in the current sprint (or just assigned to me) directly in my terminal prior to committing a new branch might help.
Iba Masood
@pj_mukh @neilxm We're thinking a chrome plugin that shows all tasks and allows for quick viewing of task IDs as you're inside Github. We're still thinking about how the UI would look, but the idea is to reduce the "switching" between Github and Tara.
Iba Masood
@neilxm PS the terminal thing is something we've been debating for some time now. @syedahmedz might be able to weigh in!
Syed Ahmed
@pj_mukh @neilxm its definitely on the roadmap, we're working on putting something together that would work with Vscode using our new API. The challenges with a CLI based client is you would have to do some level of configuration with a client library we would provide.

We've been using Tara for almost a year now! We have not stuck with a sprint manager for this long! Hah! We went from Jira, to Trello to just boards on Notion and finally stuck on Tara. Tara's home page is now my daily morning homepage, with all my tickets in one place, which has been a sweet productivity hack.
Iba Masood
@pj_mukh Thanks PJ, it's been awesome having your support (over many boba's). Especially knowing how many platforms y'all have gone through! Stay tuned for a newly designed homepage. We should be shipping a new design for home very soon, with notifications for team members on effort, tasks assigned & git events. CC: @francisco_guzman1

Love the product! Congrats Tara team! I'm a big fan of automation and efficiency in the workplace, any plans for future automations with Tara?
Iba Masood
@didier_bruno Hey Bruno! The immediate plan is to launch a CI/CD sync to get environment/staging data from your CI, and automatically move task statuses and assignees based on where they are in the development cycle (ie in QA). So for example, as a task moves from back-end dev to front-end, Tara would pick this up from Github actions, and automatically change status and re-assign the task (or create a new one). We're building this now and thinking about how the sync would function moving fwd.

Hey PH fam 👋 (or PHam perhaps?) I'm Iba, co-founder, CEO of Tara AI. Grateful to @katmanalac for hunting us! Over a year ago, we launched Tara AI to product hunt, with the intention of helping teams 'git ship done'. We felt that there has to be a better way to collaborate on software projects, that work happens in source control and the best project management software should minimize manual data entry. We asked ourselves, could a ticketless future be possible for engineering teams? Could we build the fastest project management software on the web, designed for the distributed, product-led era? With support from the PH family, we’re getting closer to this vision. You've spent time with us in calls, video sessions and over boba, to talk through how you ship mission-critical product updates, and how Jira continues to frustrate your teams, because it just wasn't designed for engineering teams. And so today, we're announcing a host of new features to help your growing teams. Tara AI 2.0 delivers a new design optimized for creation, instant loads, automated workflows and powerful integrations- including our new API. As always, our free plan is still free for unlimited users, with upgrades available to premium or co-pilot plans. Here's what's new in Tara 2.0: - A new lightning fast interface, optimized for creation. - Performance - access tasks, requirements & sprints instantly. - Automation - linked tasks will automatically update statuses based on Git events. - Smart sprinting - ship with auto-sprinting and effort indicators to understand your team's capacity. - Progress - view your team's progress with live pull-request and commit statuses from Github or Gitlab. - Our new restful API - send, retrieve, and edit task and requirement data to build custom integrations. - Define - easily outline and delegate work with a cohesive view of all your projects. - The work drawer - bringing even more visibility and organization to your sprint planning. - @ Mentions - collaborate on specs or requirements with your team. - Labels - categorize your work by task type, status, or priority - Requirements for teams - improve team clarity by dividing and managing requirements. - Slack app - add, edit, and preview tasks, directly from Slack. - Task details panel - view task details with an unobstructed view of the week's work. - Premium & co-pilot workspaces - new workspace plans are available to support larger teams. Thank you again for all your support. We're humbled by it, and we hope we can continue to serve you as you build world-changing products and software. With gratitude, Iba, Syed and the Tara team

Pratika Revannavar
As a Marketing lead in the higher education space, our team needed to be more agile especially as the pandemic came around (and still is, around lol). Tara's really helped me set a regular weekly cadence with my team using sprints and our projects are all pretty well outlined & defined. Couldn't have asked for a better tool. I'm interested to see what you guys have slated for 2.0 with premium workspaces. Loving the new look! :D
Jason Torion
@pratika_revannavar Thank you so much for the kind words! It's humbling to hear we're helping your team be more agile! Really appreciate the shoutout :)
Iba Masood
@pratika_revannavar Hey Pratika- thanks a ton! Can't wait to hear about your experience with Tara 2.0. Please keep us in the loop of how the new interface works out for your team (personally I've been enjoying the work drawer since I can create requirements really quickly).
Francisco Guzman
@pratika_revannavar Thank you so much for trusting us with your work. Let us know what you think as you dive into 2.0. We're listening!

Super-fast platform for getting work done. Period.
Iba Masood
@danielhudson8 Thanks a ton Dan! Much appreciated.
Daniel Hudson
Love calling myself a day zero user. Really was a surprise when I logged in this morning and the interface changed. Everything was leaps and bounds faster. I can tell alot of thought went into this version. You truly start to appreciate the workflow more now. I think my favorite feature has got to be the auto sprint, I was always late to completing and closing sprints so this is definitely a big help.
