- horrible optimization
- video calls will easily bloat 1-3gb of ram
- e.g. sometimes you click to write... you get a spinner, wait 10 seconds
- yeah, all things in one interface
These are opinions. People can have different. To me, its just a slow and difficult to navigate mess that doesn't know what it wants to be.

Who ever built a piece of quality software by setting out to build multiple otherwise unrelated pieces of software with extremely tight coupling to satisfy enterprise bargain hunting?
Apparently Lotus Notes did something like that, but I wasn’t around then so I can’t speak to the veracity of that claim.
We moved to Linear, which is 2 years younger than ClickUp, but it's solid in what it offers.
I wish that more apps would instead move the logic to the client and use files on file syncing services as databases. Taking tasks as an example, if a task board were just a file, I could share it with you on Dropbox / Drive / whatever we both use, and we wouldn't need a dedicated backend at all.
The approach has limitations (conflict resolution, authorization, and latency are the big ones), but it is feasible and actually completely fine for lots of apps.
And also I don't think their architecture is any good for such a product.
For me personally, it would be sufficient to avoid it based on the license alone. But altogether it just looks very unappealing.
No thanks. These “almost-but-not-quite-FOSS” licenses are a blight.
It's clearly not free software, since the user freedom is restricted.
It's not libre, since that also refers to freedoms.
It's not really Open Source.
Source-Available has been used to describe this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software
This software is source-available. Open Source licenses don't discriminate on the basis use of the software.
Using the term Open Source for license like this is dishonest. It seeks to profit from the goodwill from actual Open Source software.
If it’s free for use. Try is a confusing term.
Off topic, I’d really wish any service or product with tiers would have pricing in a discoverable way.
Why build a full app?. They could released a Chrome extension to let users configure their links for each of those apps. Wasted effort.
This app isn't just some link aggregator or an admin dashboard, though. It's workplace software that hosts all your data, self-hosted on your system of choice if you wish. I'm neither a user of nor am I affiliated with this project, but it seems like there's the aspiration to provide a unified client interface for every app, and it looks like you could BYOC as well (for CalDAV and Email).

Like samdixon mentions with ClickUp, the downside is quite large UX wise: you'd be constantly switching context witin dobase. Having 10 pinned tabs for all your tools is very convenient, checking a todo while working on an email in dobase feels messy.
Also, I'm not familiar with ClickUp nor Dobase, but I imagine you can have them open in multiple tabs, allowing for your preferred way of working?
