Issues
Stuff i noticed that should not be an issue in a company like clickup.
- reordering HELL
Reordering SUBTASKS is absolute hell. It hits like 10% of the time. I cant reorder without nesting as sub-subtask unintentionally, it’s like a pixel perfect challenge that makes me look like an idiot when i share my screen. This one of the most important, basic fixes that are necessary now.
- selling ai to me
stop it. This is supposed to he a professional tool. For companies. My employees see the ai features and i look like i dont care about them having the best features. Which is of course untrue, we just dont need it. It also looks bad when i share my screen on calls and i get a banner or stuff like that. I saw that they removed the popups, which is great, but i believe that a professional tool needs to look clean, not like it’s asking for money at every corner
- speed
i am pro user, i use it for hours every day. I know exactly where things are, but slowness and my next two points punish me for being a fast user. I feel like the app can’t go “as fast as me”, and my connection or device aren’t the issue
- unsaved progress
sometimes i add many tasks or subtasks quickly. Despite my connection being solid, like really solid, stuff sometimes just… isnt saved.
or another one, sometimes clickup’s backend does’t sync with the frontend. So i may duplicate a task, change its name, then the name actually goes back to the initial post-duplication name.
Issues like these are common on both the list view (unacceptable as it is the main view) and the gantt view
- moving stuff
i’d like to have access to something that updates me on what features that i use often are changed. Like when they changed the assign comment button location, i thought they removed it.
Or when they removed the task tray feature thing, replacing it with the favourites.
Conclusion
most of us use clickup and love it for what it used to be. Maybe new users love the new stuff, but we don’t.
And there’s gonna come a day when the cost of keeping clickup vs the cost of switching (or vibe coding our own) are gonna tip over in favour of switching.
I also noticed some of their emails are clearly vibe coded (html stuff) with ai (claude). I use ai too, nothing wrong with it, but it makes me wonder what their priorities are since they didnt even bother to clean the look of email and fix the vibe coded look.
hoping it improves soon
