Good stuff, like the AI approach to this. On Jira, I keep hearing the criticism of Jira on this forum a lot, but IMO it's not that bad product. Jira is used by all industries, not just by software management. Making a tool has to be a "silver bullet" for managing any kind of project is not easy. Tell me a better PM tool which is as widely used as Jira.
I'd love a local-first software that stores issue data on Git itself. Does something like that exist? Kind of like Fossil's ticket management, but based on Git.

To be fair, that's not unique to Jira, and I certainly can't say I haven't put my own fingers in that pie.
Where's the documentation?

LibreOffice exists, doesn't it? In particular, Calc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice_Calc WPS Office is even more similar in some ways: https://www.wps.com/office/spreadsheet/ FreeOffice is also pretty much like Excel: https://www.freeoffice.com/en/features/freeoffice-planmaker OfficeSuite feels like a carbon copy: https://officesuite.com/en/sheets There's also a variety of online offerings, yet someone eve…
Similarities in the layout, flow and overall architecture are fine, this is how you build directions in design. But you take the concept and you tweak it so that there are visible differences. Let's take Slack and Discord for example - I don't know who was first but you can see similarities, however one is not a rip off another. Same with Linear, I think it was inspired by Jira but you definitely cannot say they took it as an example.
The case discussed here is that Tegon copied Linear's interface design (colors, icons, spacings, layout, widgets, etc) almost in a pixel perfect manner, they didn't even bother with introducing their own tweaks found through user feedback. It's a copy and added >we're focusing on AI aspect and don't want to reinvent the wheel< This is not right.

On what grounds? Do they have a patent on spreadsheet-looking interfaces? It leaves a bit of a bad taste IMO to blatantly copy a startup that’s working its ass off to create a good product and then releasing it as open source, but I have a hard time imagining you can make this legal. Not a lawyer though.

While I can detect that perhaps you don’t feel like this is a useful feature, this is absolutely a legitimate and useful feature. I use it literally every day with Linear. With Linear you can make a ticket in Slack by clicking the … and selecting “make linear ticket”, which gens out a ticket that summarizes the title using AI and pulls in the conversation that you genned it out from, including future updates. The ai…
Imo thinking about the title actually helps you to get a clearer view of the problem
There's a ludicrous aspect to software development, which is if you ask around about early uses of computers you'll run into lots of people doing critical path analysis for other industries, yet we have persisted in pretending software development is somehow unique and does not actually work like this. The whole idea humans should be prioritizing tasks has been wrong from the start, and indicates a lack of the right…
Aren't you afraid of a potential lawsuit from Linear[1]? Your interface looks like a copy paste. Dont get me wrong, it's amazing what you've build but cloning a well funded startup may not be the best strategy. 1 https://linear.app
Lawsuit under what law? The general design of a user interface is not copyrightable, although the assets are. If it was sufficiently distinctive it could be protected with a trademark.
