Linear is awesome, especially when working on open-source thanks to its great GitHub integration.

We’ve been using Linear for several months now instead of Jira and no regrets. The product is fast (very fast!), easy to use, lightweight and has a neat UI.

Linear's speed feels great, also the design, all the shortcuts, and the community it has, where all your questions get answers quite quickly as well.

The cleanest task management product out there. Great to start out with, for both personal & work. Only downside is that it doesn't feel as robust as something like Asana with custom fields & multiple project assignments.

Best backlog manager I've experienced. Lots of shortcuts, great UX, just enough features for the vast majority of projects.

Linear is a good app to run a team using scrum. It is much simpler to use and doesn't require a lot of configuration and set-up. It also integrates with GIthub, so that your tasks get updated automatically when you perform actions like, opening a PR, assigning reviewers and merging or closing a PR. It also provides helpful charts. However, it does have a confusing structure, in which you have two competing views: the active sprint (called "cycle") and all the active tasks (called "active"), regardless if they are a part of the sprint or not. Linear defaults to opening the "active" view, so if you don't pay attention, you may think you are in the sprint ("cycle") view and may end up taking tasks that are outside the sprint.
