## What it is
Tegon is an open-source, dev-first issue tracking tool positioned as an alternative to Jira and Linear, built with React and TypeScript. It combines issue tracking with AI-driven workflow automation (Tegon Actions) and offers both self-hosting and a managed cloud version.

## Use cases
- self-host an open-source alternative to Jira or Linear
- track and manage issues with kanban boards
- automatically label and triage newly created issues
- create issues from Slack messages with an emoji reaction
- generate sub-issues for PR reviews automatically
- send weekly summaries and changelogs of completed issues to Slack

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, customizable, self-hosted issue tracker for a dev team
- you want AI-assisted automation of repetitive issue-tracking workflows
- you find Jira too bloated and Linear not open-source enough

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, battle-tested tool with guaranteed stability (Tegon is in alpha with breaking changes)
- you need extensive enterprise features or a large plugin ecosystem
- you require non-AGPL licensing for internal commercial distribution
