Review Linear?

Linear earns high praise for speed, clean UI, and frictionless teamwork, with many switching from heavier tools. Founders highlight real-world impact: the makers of

Product Hunt

and

Wispr Flow

commend its clarity and momentum for fast-moving teams, while the makers of

Chronicle

note smoother cross-team coordination and visibility from sprints to marketing. Users love keyboard shortcuts, integrations, and cycles, though some want richer roadmap views, multi-assignee support, and board/flight-level visuals. Overall, it strikes a rare balance of power and simplicity that scales well with focused teams.

It fits well for small startup teams but gets messy when roadmap grows just a little. Has the freedom to define projects and tags but it works well IMO only for a single team with one or two boards only (there is no "board" definition). There is no board or flight level views, you have to make your own filters and setup your organisation which may or may not be your best time spending idea. The swim lanes that are so interesting on the competitors (Jira, kanbanize etc) are not present here. There is only one lane per team and tickets belongs only to projects so you have to manage your organisation with a single hierarchy of tasks. If I have to choose it will not be my first option.

@zenithquinn I have tried the project again last week and it looks much better now. Great work team! It looks like a tool I will use now no matter the team size I am in.

Every time you think Linear has reached peak landing page design, they step it up. This page is beautiful, and this functionality is so exciting to see coming to Linear. Why would anyone use Jira any more?!

Nice and clean! Love the shortcuts and just how fast it makes project management. Tried others, and nothing comes close to using Linear. The number of integrations with other tools keeps increasing and makes it so much easier to use.
