So is this a fork of another coin or build from the ground up???
It is a fork of lisk .
What make it better then lisk or how does it compare to Lisk???
Lisk is focusing to make a platform to create
sidechain javascript applications and Shift's focus is on creating a
decentralized website hosting platform with
IPFS/Phantom product.
Shift was the first ETH fork, but as the hash rate was very low it was pron to attacks, so the solution was to switch to Lisk DPOS system, also it's the #1 Lisk fork,too.

How does it compare to list with the speed, amount of coins, total future amount of coins etc??? Performance???
