It has been so tragic to see the unforced downfall of this company. Arc is such an amazing browser that really did some new and interesting things. They clearly have some phenomenal talent on the team, having managed to get their swift-centric development working on _Windows_. That's a huge and difficult undertaking!

And they threw it away to work on (probably) the CEO's new fixation and threw Arc away like an old toy. And now they're selling to Atlassian and I would bet money, will just evaporate. Nothing they ever built will mean anything to Atlassian in the long term. Nobody wants to use an Atlassian browser.

False.

On my work machine, I would grasp at any straw that promised to make JIRA less annoying.

Did any Atlassian product ever make JIRA less annoying ?

My impression was JiRA is the planet and everything else are satellites turning around. They come and go but never touch JIRA.

yeah, lots of them. Every day. All the time. But you’d have to learn to understand that most of the problem you have with Jira has nothing to do with the tool and everything to do with how it’s been implemented.

Somehow all the implementations are equally lacklustre though? What is the common denominator.
