Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I’m the creator of Paca, and I’m incredibly excited (and a bit nervous!) to share it with you all today. Like many of you, I’ve spent years using Jira. While it’s powerful, it often feels bloated, slow, and overly complex for modern development teams. We wanted something fast, lightweight, and collaborative—but with a modern twist. That’s why we built Paca: a next-gen, open-source task management platform. Why Paca? 🧠 Built-in AI Context: Paca doesn’t just track tasks; it understands them, making your daily workflow smarter. 🔌 Extensive Plugin System: Easily extend Paca's core features to fit your team's specific needs. 🎨 Fully Customizable: Tailor the entire workspace, views, and workflows without the typical Jira complexity. 🔓 100% Open-Source: Paca is fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 License, giving you complete freedom to host, modify, and scale. Since we are launching straight with our GitHub repo today, we would love to get your honest feedback. What features do you feel are missing from your current PM tools? How can we make Paca even better for your workflow? Please check out our repo, try it out, and if you like what we’re building, giving us a Star 🌟 on GitHub would mean the world to our team! Can't wait to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you have in the comments below! 👇 Happy coding, Hai Huynh

As a Scrum user, I'd love to see built-in support for capacity planning across mixed human and AI agent teams. Something that tracks story points assigned to each "teammate" type would help teams balance workload realistically and forecast sprint velocity more accurately.

@aliyelupj Thank you so much for the support! I'm really glad you like the idea behind Paca. It means a lot to us!
