alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Epiq – Distributed Git based issue tracker TUI
Issue trackers typically live outside of your workflow, with poor ergonomics. Epiq aims to solve that, bringing issue tracking into your terminal. Multi-user collaboration is achieved via git using user-scoped immutable event logs that converge in memory. Put my all into it. Let me know what you think.

I think this is a cool project. I see a lot of use cases for this, for cases where it is preferable to keep issues local to the repo, distributed via git only, and not the least for all kinds of personal task management. Avoiding the context switching to a web based tool is a nice plus.

There was a small surge in popularity in distributed git issue trackers a bit over a decade ago, and all of them had some sort of problem baked in to the design that made them not very good.
Two weeks ago I had listed out the problems I could remember offhand: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47956979
It sounds like there's intentionally no attempt to handle the last one (that this is by devs for devs), and points 3 and 4 might be addressed somehow since it mentions syncing automatically. Does it store data separate from git to avoid the first two?
