This sucks. You should be embarrassed for yourself. The blatant ripping off is disgusting. Do better Harshith, this is not it.

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.

I'm personally disgusted by it and I'm not associated or even a customer/user of Linear. Also shocked by people not caring.

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

Indeed, our user interface (UI) shares similarities with Linear’s. We, too, are fans of Linear and appreciate its user experience (UX). After speaking with a lot of people, we concluded that it’s top-notch. Consequently, we wanted to give that experience rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel. Despite drawing inspiration from Linear, we built everything from scratch. Our primary focus is the AI and task priorit…

Your aim was to duplicate Linear because that's what you did. Shame on you. This is disgusting.

I am aghast at what I just saw. This isn't just "inspired by Linear". It quite literally is a carbon copy of it. I'm unsure how you are able to put this out into the world with a straight face. When adopting tools into a company there are many factors considered beyond just the product itself. One of the big ones is trust. I can't imagine many decision makers seeing what you've done and coming to the conclusion that…

I watched the demo video and at first I was confused why they were showing Linear instead of their own product. They just completely ripped off Linear. Gross.

> Then we use AI to automatically create a title from the description, so you don't have to spend time figuring out a title Yes please, tickets that POs spent even less time thinking and writing about.

Our goal is to inspire people to provide comprehensive descriptions of the issues they report, without the worry of making them concise. From our experience, while it's easy to describe things, articulating them can be challenging. Hence, we encourage thorough descriptions first and then we'll help refine them into a clear, well-contextualized title.

Your goal was to rip off a good design. Copy/Paste.
