First thing I noticed is that the UI looks exactly like Linear. Have seen more companies copy the same UI but not sure if it was actually Linear that started it

  Haha, I think the evolution was something like this: 1. Slack introduces "sidebar" concept 2. Notion takes it a step further 3. Everyone starts doing sidebars, including Linear We took inspiration from Linear's 'search button in sidebar' and 'profile pic in sidebar', which I think were maybe their unique contributions to the tradition :)

    Really, it's just a tab strip, no? (But with fixed heterogeneous tabs, as opposed to a set of homogeneous ones the user adds/removes from as they open/close docs.) Reminds me of the vertical tab strips in FF w/ TreeStyleTabs. Which reminds me of OS/2, where tab strips were on the side, with some nice skeuomorphism: https://www.landley.net/history/mirror/os2/history/os221/vxrexx_proj.gif https://www.landley.net/history/mirror/os2/history/os221/vxr...

    Do you use a react component library? If so, which one?
