Discord vs JIRA: What are the differences?

  1. Integration with other tools: Discord is primarily a communication tool, while JIRA is a project management tool. Discord offers integrations with gaming platforms and productivity tools, whereas JIRA integrates with development tools like Bitbucket and GitHub, facilitating collaboration between different teams.

  2. User Interface: Discord is known for its user-friendly and intuitive interface, making it easy for users to navigate and communicate effectively. On the other hand, JIRA has a more complex interface due to its extensive project management features, which can be overwhelming for new users.

  3. Customization and flexibility: Discord allows users to customize their servers, channels, and roles to suit their preferences, providing a high level of flexibility. In contrast, JIRA offers customizable workflows, issue types, and fields, allowing teams to tailor the project management process to their specific needs.

  4. Focus and purpose: Discord is designed for real-time communication and collaboration, making it ideal for teams that rely on instant messaging and voice chat for teamwork. JIRA, on the other hand, is focused on planning, tracking, and managing projects using agile methodologies, providing structured workflows and issue tracking capabilities.

  5. Team size and scalability: Discord is well-suited for smaller teams and casual groups due to its simplicity and ease of use. In contrast, JIRA is more suitable for larger teams and organizations that require advanced project management features and scalability to handle complex projects with multiple stakeholders.

  6. Reporting and analytics: Discord lacks advanced reporting and analytics features, mainly focusing on communication aspects. In comparison, JIRA offers robust reporting tools, dashboards, and agile reporting capabilities to track project progress, identify bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions.

In Summary, Discord is more suitable for real-time communication and collaboration in smaller teams, while JIRA is a comprehensive project management tool with advanced customization and reporting capabilities for larger teams and complex projects.

I want to host an online Jeopardy game with less than 30 participants. During each round of the game, I'll stream some videos. The point is to gather friends together to play the Jeopardy game and watch random stuff. Please let me know if there's a more suitable platform other than Discord and Zoom. Thanks, everyone!

Personally, I think that Discord works much better than anything else, even if you don't have Nitro (which is what they call their premium plan). You could seriously do this Jeopardy thing with just Discord (and maybe a bot to make it easier)

Zoom would only let you have a crappy meeting that hackers could easily join. Discord actually has DDoS protection, Zoom just has things that can easily be bypassed.

And if you do want Nitro, it's only $9/mo or $99/yr

as many people say that you can only hold 30 to 10 people in one discord call if you were to make a server and add a chat or a VC you can hold up to 99 which is more than zoom and you can also use the text chat, general chat or anything else that you add and the best part you can hold pretty much infinite people I have personally seen servers with up to 100k people in it. One of the better parts is that you don't necessarily have to download it you can search it up on google and make an account it's as easy as that. Another thing is due to the original purpose of the website/app is that it's very customizable meaning that your students can customize heir profile pictures and names, but not to worry in a discord server you can have it where only you can change their nicknames so let's say things get too confusing or you want to be able to see who they really are you can just change it to their name. One last thing I will say is that you can have customizable ranks and so on so if you desire to split people into teams you can do so and with that, you can customize what they can do like give people ranks or de-rank them. Like I mentioned earlier about VC's you can also screen share and do videos so you can see their screen or their face.

YouTrack feels much more lightweight than Jira and additionally have all of features that Jira have, of course lacks at some analytics features, but it's more powerful at permission management and agile workflow. Additionally YouTrack have awesome integration with other JetBrains products such as incoming JetBrains Space and all other IDEs such as GoLand.
