| Kai's verdict | Symphony is the most architecturally serious 'issue tracker as control plane' approach yet — 15K GitHub stars in weeks confirms the idea resonates — but it's still a rough, self-hosted engineering preview that demands Elixir chops and a Linear-only workflow. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. |
