$10B Whoop suing Bevel over "copying their design" is really disgusting
let's look what exactly they claim:
> "using rings to show health stats"
pretty sure Apple & Google also use rings, why don't you sue them?
> "using moon icon to display night stats.."💀
did Whoop invent the f-ing moon icon? or was the first ever to associate it with night?
it really looks like they are just afraid of a much smaller company and are doing dirty business tricks to fight competition
in addition to this after watching the CEOs video looks like Whoop copied Bevel initially!
the real reason why this is happening is because Bevel has a generous free plan while Whoop charges $199/year
@WHOOP just filed a lawsuit against us.
A $10B company with 800+ employees is scared of us, a 20-person team making health tracking accessible to all.
Rather than focusing on product and innovation, Whoop has decided to use its newly raised capital on lawfare.
In this video, I share our side of the story, explain why their claims are baseless, and why we believe fighting back is the right thing to do.
It’s amazing when a $10B company sues you because your app "looks and feels" like theirs
Let me give you a tip: Instead of spending 300 bucks on an over-priced @WHOOP , you can get @bevel_health for free.
We want to bring great health to *everyone*.
We will build, not resort to lawfare.
Whoop filed a lawsuit against us, and this is our response.
TL;DW:
- June 2024: Whoop's Corp Dev reached out wanting to "explore collaboration"
- 5 months later: cease and desist letter
- Their demands: disable dark mode (ours defaults to light mode), rename common words like "Strain" and "Recovery"
- We pushed back. Our lawyers exchanged letters for months. Then they went silent.
- 2 weeks ago: sued us in Delaware with no warning
- Their 111-page complaint claims our UI copies theirs but many of their own screenshots contradict their claims
- Fun fact: Whoop updated their home screen to look like ours, not the other way around

@AndrewYang If those governors get together and along with Biden decide to let @VP@KamalaHarris finish what’s left term, they will gain the trust of the voters that no longer trust the democrats and we will have a real chance at winning with whatever governor you decide to replace Biden.
