I wouldn't worry about it too much were I Dustin. He'll keep continually improving Svbtle from his design insights, whereas Obtvse likely will stagnate. And if it doesn't, the contributors would all be programmers, given it's hosted on github. Chances are, they won't use it often, and they won't have the design intuitions that come with design experience and use.
Take it as a form of flattery and just move on. I have faith in his design chops.
- Androsynth 15y agoThis is an excellent point! Design is supplementary to a good product. But theres so much more to a good product than design. If Obtvse is more popular than Svbtle in the long run, it will be because Dustin himself failed, not because the design was copied. He's already made the wrong decision at every major point imo.
