- MentallyRetired 5y agoMonday has been stealing from Timelinr (https://timelinr.com https://timelinr.com) for years now. I saw their marketing efforts shoot up around the same time. Looks like it's been paying off for them, but I prefer to support smaller startups, especially when all I need it for is roadmapping.
- have_faith 5y agoFrom comparing both homepages I get the impression that whatever influence Monday took from Timelinr initially they left them behind long ago. The Timelinr landing page could also do with a lot of work but I think it's mostly the tone of voice that doesn't work well with me personally.
- soperj 5y agoI find this weirdly hilarious, because of ad blocking, I'd never heard of this company before this.
- 0xffff2 5y agoLikewise. Based on this thread, I'm going to take it that my ad blocking setup is even more effective than I gave it credit for.
- Rastonbury 5y agoYeah, I mean it's kind of sobering as well, thinking of all the collective hours spent watching ads when ad blockers are 1-click installs.
- ljm 5y agoIt was everywhere on the Tube in London after it rebranded from Dapulse, in the middle of the whole Brexit fiasco. It reaffirmed something an old colleague of mine said: everyone in startup tech assumes you're politically on the left. And those ads were aimed at those people.
- rchaud 5y agoIt's a project management tool, the most boring and inoffensive software possible. How were such ads shown to have a political bent?
