Linear is the issue tracking tool built for high-performance software teams. Public chatter frequently praises its speed, keyboard ergonomics, and design craft, while highlighting gripes around custom workflow limits and complex pricing tiers.
Users rave about instant load times, 60fps animations, and never having to touch the mouse.
Frequent switch intent posts from engineering leaders fed up with slow Atlassian workflows.
Teams that outgrow simple Kanban setups complain about rigid hierarchy and limited custom field types.
Migrated our 35-person engineering team from Jira to @linear over the weekend. The collective sigh of relief across Slack was palpable. Zero lag, command menu for everything, PR linking that just works.
I love Linear for dev sprints, but as soon as product marketing and operations try to use it, the lack of custom fields and multiple views per project becomes a dealbreaker. What are people using when Linear is too opinionated?
Linear pricing jumped significantly on the new seat model for our guest accounts and read-only stakeholders. Anyone found an issue tracker with comparable keyboard speed that doesn’t charge full price for view-mostly seats?
Evaluating Linear vs Height vs ClickUp for our series A startup. We need something fast for 12 devs and 2 designers. Does Linear handle roadmapping well enough to skip a dedicated tool?
Please @linear give us two-way sync for GitHub sub-issues or multi-repo parent initiatives. Having to maintain duplicate links across microservice repos is eating 3 hours of sprint planning every Monday.
