They bought Trello as well, I haven't used Atlassian stuff in like 3 years but as far as I remember it didn't really work out well inside Jira.


They recently decided to destroy Trello, too. They bought it because it was a legit alternative to Jira for small teams and basically left it alone after the acquisition. But recently they've decided that it's too much of an alternative so it had to be crippled to remove the team features, turning it into a personal information manager that no one asked for.


Yeah I came across a reddit post in r/saas about an upcoming alternative that tells his story on how the acquisition crushed the product he loved that helped him build his successful gaming company.

This prompted him to build his own platform he would want to use instead of Trello. Basically claiming that Trello for teams is dead due to the transition to a "personal producitivty companion" xD

You can check out the post here if interested in reading more and even giving the pro plan for his platform free forever for 30 days.

Luckily they didn't buy Linear, if anything they removed an early-competitor for them.
