Key Features

Linear-Style Issue Tracking

• Projects: Organize work into projects with custom workflows
• Sprints: Time-boxed iterations with velocity tracking
• Sub-issues: Break down work with parent-child relationships
• Labels & Priorities: Categorize and prioritize with P0-P3 levels
• Automations: Auto-assign, auto-label, and status transitions based on rules
• GitHub Integration: Sync issues with GitHub PRs and commits

Integrated Chat

Unlike standalone chat tools, Huly's chat is deeply integrated:

• Reference issues, documents, and team members inline
• Create issues directly from chat messages
• Thread discussions on any topic
• Channel-based organization (public, private, DM)

Knowledge Base

• Nested document structure like Notion
• Real-time collaborative editing
• Markdown + rich content blocks
• Link between docs and issues

Huly vs Alternatives

常见问题

Q: Huly 真的能替代 Linear + Slack + Notion？ A: 对于中小团队，Huly 的集成体验确实可以替代这三个工具。大型团队可能会发现各个模块的深度不如专用工具，但集成的优势（无需上下文切换、数据天然关联）往往弥补了这一点。

Q: 支持 GitHub/GitLab 集成吗？ A: 支持 GitHub 集成，可以关联 PR 和 commit 到 Huly issues。GitLab 集成在社区开发中。

Q: 自托管资源需求大吗？ A: 需要 MongoDB + Elasticsearch + MinIO，最低 8GB RAM。比单个工具资源消耗大，但考虑到它替代了多个工具，整体资源使用是合理的。
