Get started
From nothing to a tracked issue. Five minutes if you read slowly.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- A GitHub account. It’s the only way to sign in, which means Hydrant stores no password for you to forget.
- A browser with JavaScript on.
- Go to hydrant.dev and press Continue with GitHub. Continuing means you agree to the Terms and Privacy policy. If either changes later, Hydrant asks again before letting you back in.
- You land on All workspaces. With none yet, it says “Big plans. Zero workspaces.” Press Create workspace.
- Give it a Workspace name. Description, icon and color hide under Description and appearance and can wait. Press Create workspace.
- Press New issue, or just press
c. Type a title where it says “Name the problem.” and press Create issue, or⌘/Ctrl+Enter. - Click the issue to open it. Status, priority, assignee and everything else sit beside the description.
What you should see
Section titled “What you should see”Your issue in Backlog, with a number like #1. The workspace has an address of its own: its name plus a short code, like hydrant.dev/side-project-k2m4p7q3xa. Issues live under it at /issues/1. Bookmark either. Renaming the workspace doesn’t break old links.
Plans, briefly
Section titled “Plans, briefly”| Free | Solo Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Workspaces you own | 2 | Unlimited |
| People per workspace | 1 | 3 |
| Agent connections per workspace | 2 | 20 |
| Image storage | 500 MB | 10 GB |
Hitting a limit locks nothing. Only new additions are refused until there’s room. Settings › General shows where you stand. There’s no checkout today; Pricing has the current story.
If it goes sideways
Section titled “If it goes sideways”- “Our front door is making a scene.” Hydrant couldn’t reach GitHub to start sign-in. Try again. If it keeps happening, check service status.
- Sign-in finished on GitHub but not here. Try again. If your browser blocks cookies for hydrant.dev, it can’t keep you signed in.
- You were invited, but the workspace isn’t listed. Invitations wait under Invitations on All workspaces, and only for the GitHub account whose verified primary email matches the invitation.
- “This account is suspended.” Email bots@hydrant.dev if you think that’s a mistake.
