from a glitzy reimagining of "how we use the internet" to joining the ranks of shitty Jira...what an ending!
it's hard not to be bitter after they squandered so much goodwill by abandoning Arc
my personal thesis for consumer apps is that power users will always sustain over the latest hype cycle (even if that means your addressable market will be smaller - maybe don't take an obscene amount of VC money?)
The best thing to come out of Arc was the lovely design, the tab switcher, Nate's experiments on Twitter, the astounding welcome screen, Little Arc, the announcements which acknowledged the individual engineers etc. To me, those really pushed the boundaries. For that, thank you!
