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 you're a business they can trust to weld to their own. Internally we treat most of them as partnerships, not transactional.
People tend to assume tools are easily swappable in organizations. They are not. It is a major risky decision that has large cost, privacy, and security concerns. Attorneys are heavily involved in the process (ask me how I know).
Now we could make this risky and costly bet on a well established, trustworthy company, run by industry leaders... or we could go with a company who is now well known for completely ripped off the design of the former and slapped some AI into it. Which would you choose?
If you want to build a successful company that tries to take down Jira (PLEASE DO), you can't start like this.
