About

Plane is an open-source project management platform designed as a self-hostable alternative to Jira and Linear for software development teams. The platform provides issue tracking, sprint planning, roadmaps, cycles, modules, and analytics in a clean modern interface, available either as a cloud-hosted service or self-deployed on a team's own infrastructure. Plane's open-source model is a key differentiator for organizations with data residency requirements, security policies that prohibit third-party SaaS for project data, or teams that want to customize their project management tooling. The project has rapidly gained GitHub stars and community adoption since launching, with thousands of teams deploying self-hosted instances. Plane integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Slack and provides import tools for migrating from Jira and Linear. The company offers Plane Cloud as a managed service for teams that prefer not to manage infrastructure. Founded in 2022 and open-sourced from the start, Plane has raised funding from investors and has built a strong open-source community. It competes with Linear, Jira, and Height in the software project management market.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
