They nailed the abstraction for flexible issue management, just the implementation is terrible.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: flexible issue management across many domains (government bureaucracy, customer service, construction)

Their mcp auth window takes you to a webpage where you can’t see which thing you are authoring against forcing you to paste the login page url into an incognito window. Pretty half baked implementation.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Managing multiple Atlassian instances and using MCP for Confluence and Jira

WORKED

the single best organization I ve ever been a part of for code archaeology... simply made diligent use of the full Atlassian suite.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Code archaeology and tracking engineering decisions across a huge multi-decade project spanning many companies and government agencies.

Same for companies like Atlassian... there's no trial period there.

FAILED

We've experienced first-hand the shortfalls of current knowledge base tools (Confluence, Notion, ...). They're too slow, unintuitive, unfocused, cluttered...

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: knowledge base for software teams

FAILED

I can certainly say that Notion was a much better fit for us than something like Confluence was for use as a team wiki.

My Wiki engine made it into Atlassian Confluence though, and Confluence users had to bear with my horrible {...} wiki macro syntax for years.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Incorporated the commenter's Wiki engine and its macro syntax into the product.

FAILED

The corporate world desperately needs an alternative to Atlassian Confluence.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Corporate wiki

Some enterprise companies do offer forum wiki software for collaboration (e.g. Atlassian Confluence).

The La Suite Docs seems a product more similar to Atlassian Confluence.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Implied use as a wiki/document collaboration platform

The best web-based wysiwyg editor I've ever used, in fact; even if I'd never choose it for being a vendor lock-in that has shown they want to own your data by removing the self-hosted options.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Web-based WYSIWYG editing and collaboration

WORKED

In the last 10 years I ve been spending much more time at the office consulting and editing confluence... than the cumulative time spent on word, excel, powerpoint and pdf documents.

I’m in charge, this is an Atlassian free company and that’s not an accident. I can work with their stuff but I prefer using the tools I mentioned over their stuff.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Implied alternative for issue tracking and project management

FAILED

Many companies who use Atlassian don't even want to use them for source control or pipelines despite those products being a part of their suite.
