Congrats on launch! It’s inspiring to see you building in the open. Why build Nest on the server when you already have Next for the client?

In order to ensure everything is fast and real-time, we built a sync engine that runs in the background. We also use queues to perform some actions asynchronously. These factors influenced our decision to proceed with a server and scale as necessary.

We were comfortable with this architecture, having used it in our previous apps. This setup also offered us the flexibility to work quickly, as I focused on the frontend while my co-founder handled all backend tasks.

I was hoping somebody at some point would create an agent for interacting with jira so I could minimize my interaction with its horrendous UI.

Nothing fancy, just a bot that can answer questions about tickets and create and edit tickets based upon a haphazard slack conversation. It's an ideal use case for generative AI, but for some reason nobody wants to do this because they're too busy getting genai to write unit tests or cite court cases something else that is highly inappropriate.

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…

This feels disingenuous. You may have coded everything from scratch, but I couldn’t tell if this was a linear plugin or separate app from the first few seconds.

To say linear was just a source of inspiration is just not true. Call a spade a spade - linear’s ui is the best in the business so you copied it outright, down to the icons.

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.

First, congrats for the launch.

Copying the interface is not what I would call "not reinventing the wheel".

Not that you shouldn't have inspiration, but really I couldn't tell it was not linear...

Futhermore, I think it tell that your product lack AI-first design.

Indeed, this is a very valid case. Thanks for bringing this up we shall add this to our roadmap.

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 autocomplete/title suggestion, while wrong about 25% of the time, removes a huge mental burden around building tickets. If it’s wrong, I just erase the sentence and type my own summary, which takes about 2 extra seconds. But even the wrong summary usually offers good enough context to be able to write the correct one faster.

As an Ops/SRE guy who deals with constant interrupts being able to quickly spawn a ticket and have it pick up the slack conversation saves me literal hours of rote ticketing bullshit every week.

It's only been a few months into development, but yeah as our early folks started to use the product and test it out we now started to focus more there.
