It's depressing to see how many replies here are treating the cloned design as though it's some throwaway detail, like the design is just a coat of paint on top of the code.

We (at Linear) have spent half a decade iterating to get to this point of refinement in design and UX. To have another funded startup straight up clone it is so disheartening.

Great on work creating an alternative to Linear which is a carbon copy of Linear [1]. Linear also been powered by local first sync since 2019, we have AI features shipped and in the pipeline. As YC alumni/design founder of Linear disappointed to see that design/ui/product is treated this way and something to completely rip off from other products. Last 5 years we’ve been iterating on the Linear design and product. We…

100%, flashed back the Garry Tan tweet too. This project would be great as an open source tech demo, but was quite surprised to see the YC logo on here.

(as a founder) I expect YC to understand the importance of iterative design and not throw money out of the window for a snapshot.

I've never successfully gotten a company to move off of Jira. Frustrating.

My company did. We moved to ClickUp. It is much better

We also migrated to ClickUp (though not from Jira) but while it's better than what we used before, it still feels... I don't know, sluggish. Loaders everywhere, lists are jumping when you scroll. Sometimes I click on a task, the detail modal opens up and there is a noticable delay while the data loads. Typing a / in the description which opens up the command panel or integration panal or whatever it called, freezes everything for like 100ms or more.

> It's depressing

This may sound not-so-empathetic, but it is:

Capitalism is depressing. If we lived in a society where everyone shared and benefited together, then you wouldn't have to deal with this frustration of needing to hold onto value to ensure your survival.

We have companies moving to Linear daily, so it’s possible.

And these can be anything from a 10 person company to 2000+ person companies.

We have jira sync that helps with transition. https://linear.app/integrations/jira
