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.

If it's of interest, swimlanes are now available in Linear!

Best backlog manager I've experienced. Lots of shortcuts, great UX, just enough features for the vast majority of projects.
Kudos to the Linear and Figma teams for launching this killer integration! As a big fan of both tools, I'm super excited to streamline my design and engineering workflow with this plugin. π Can't wait to see how this further enhances collaboration and productivity! Just out of curiosity, any other cool features in the pipeline? Looking forward to seeing what's next. ππ
Great app for managing dev tickets, very slick and intuitive.
our team uses it but as we've gotten more busy it ends up just being used as a trash can for stuff no one is working on...
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.
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.
I've been using it on several projects for probably a year now! And I believe it's the best thing on the market. What I like:
Super fast. I haven't encountered such fast applications in a long time. It's like I'm not even on the internet; everything loads instantly!
Unique philosophy. By that, I mean the way they describe how to use their product is very well done.
There are things that are missing, but still, it's the best product.
