AI - should it be subtle or shouting?
We are building atono for builders. A design consideration is whether to subtly embed and include AI as a facilitator (coach, assistant, biggest fan) or to be more assertive, make features blink at users or just do it for them. Example: 1) Write your story for you with ChatPRD or Help you write a high quality story that has value. 2) Suggestions with a little AI star (like Google) or go AI...
Opinions on the #1 disliked tool (Pragmatic Engineer 2025 Survey)
The Pragmatic Engineer 2025 Survey of 3,000+ responses (July 15) finds the most dis-liked tool is...Jira. My question is do you agree with the author's opinion or do you have other thoughts? Author's opinion: For as long as I’ve been a dev, I’ve seen fellow developers getting mad at JIRA because it’s slow, clunky, not customizable enough, etc. Another big reason is that we just don’t like being...
Item metadata (like in Jira) - need community input please!
We launched @Atono a while back and we're now building out a series of features to enable Jira users to bring their old data with them. Our Linear import was pretty simple but Jira is a whole'nother ball of string. Context: Atono is intended to be opinionated, intuitive and go further than Jira. Think Jira + flagsmith + amplitude in one product for cross functional teams to get a job done...
The customer is not always right - AMA w/ CEO of atono
Hey all - Troy McAlpin, CEO and co-founder of atono here. In our last $70M ARR SaaS venture, we learned the hard way: the customer is not always right. Yes, customer experience matters. Yes, they’re the ones paying the bills. But no, they don’t always know how to design the best solution. Steve Jobs famously said, “Customers often don’t know what they want until you show them.” At @Atono, we’ve...
Hi PH! T minus 3 days to launch! 🚀 🚀 🚀
Hi Product Hunt! 🙋 When I founded my last company, xMatters (an incident management solution), our DevOps teams relied on over a dozen tools from different vendors to build our product (Jira was a project all by itself). It felt like a never-ending assembly line of inboxes, endless Slack threads, and tasks piling up. Each tool was disconnected, and every role – PMs, devs, QA – worked in silos...
Hi there!
Hi everyone! I am new to PH and already finding lots of goodness. Looks like a great community and eager to contribute. We are 12 months 📆 into building our first product, MVP is available 🥳 and we're 30 days from launch 🚀. If interested in our mvp check it out at atono.io - we would really appreciate the feedback! Oh and most importantly, we even have our mascot sorted out, the 2nd most...
Old dog, new tricks? Hi All!
New to PH, but not to SaaS. Our last company surpassed $60m ARR, was purchased, took some time off, now back at it! We are working on a new project, specifically for cross-functional software development teams and orgs. We are trying to take a fresh look at how we plan, build and run software. Think of it as "if Jira were built in 2025 (instead of 2003)" -- but more than just Proj Mgmt. For...
