Launch HN: Kitemaker (YC W21) – Fast alternative to Jira, built for remote teams

1

Linear

Comparing Kitemaker to Clubhouse write may may get a bit further. I found Kitemaker after I realized the tight relationship between epics and documentation, and was stunned at how difficult it was to find a PM tool focused on fusing them. Clubhouse write seemed to be headed that direction, but was in beta forever and details were sparse. I began researching on my own to see if it would be worth building myself, stumbled upon Kitemaker (impressive) and ultimately used Notion instead (which is so-so for the purpose).<p>A bit tangential, but I was surprised at how similar Kitemakers offering _sounded_ to Linear (<a href="https://linear.app/" rel="nofollow">https://linear.app/</a>).

Clubhouse

You're selling yourself as a fast alternative to Jira. There's already an established company doing that (<a href="https://clubhouse.io/" rel="nofollow">https://clubhouse.io/</a>). They also offer a free plan for teams of up to 10 users. You're obviously in business to make money, so good that you're focused on selling your product, but why would someone pay for Kitemaker rather than use Clubhouse for free?

react-beautiful-dnd

We're actually in between drag and drop libs at the moment. We currently use react-beautiful-dnd [0], but it has some major shortcomings and doesn't feel very well supported.<p>We've got a branch where we've switched to dndkit [1] which I like a lot more - really nice API with hooks for everything. However, it has some annoying bugs that mean we can't quite switch yet. That being said it seems like the one that's hanging us up the most is nearly fixed [2].<p>0: <a href="https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd</a><p>1: <a href="https://dndkit.com/" rel="nofollow">https://dndkit.com/</a><p>2: <a href="https://github.com/clauderic/dnd-kit/pull/140" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/clauderic/dnd-kit/pull/140</a>.
