Issue is a lightweight, self-hostable project management tool built for developers who want simplicity over complexity. Frustrated with bloated tools like Jira, I created Issue to focus on what matters: tracking tasks within organisations and projects without the overhead. Deploy it on your own infrastructure for full control over your data, and access it via the web or as a native desktop application via Tauri.

Key features

Organisation and project management
Issue creation with titles and descriptions
Issue assignment to team members
Resizable split-pane interface
Role-based access (owner, admin, member)
Native desktop app via Tauri
Self-hostable

Technologies

React + TypeScript (frontend)
Bun + Drizzle ORM (backend)
PostgreSQL
Tauri (desktop)
Tailwind CSS
JWT authentication

Architecture

Issue uses a monorepo structure with three packages: a shared package containing database schemas and types, a backend API server running on Bun with Drizzle ORM, and a React frontend that can be served as a web app or bundled as a native desktop application with Tauri.
