For a small team, I can say Linear beats the hell out of JIRA.

I sure don't miss the 30+ second page loads, slow pagelads, slow saves, slow edit button, confusing comments section, and accidental random ticket body erasure when working with a heavily loaded JIRA instance.

This post is without context, but I assume it is regarding the fact that Linear experienced (is experiencing?) a prolonged outage today and this particular link redirected to their new home page's design in Figma, where you could see a chaotic cloud of cursors belonging to everyone else trying to file a ticket.

Same, if we’re going to talk about Linear I’d also like to say it’s probably one of the best webs apps that does one thing really well. Any tool for organizing teams of programmers should be a) dead simple and b) extremely performant. Which Linear does both.

Probably one the fastest web app around, given how it preloads all JSON data from all sublinks on the page, so it loads immediately when you click on any links. It performs like a native app (assuming it’s online :p, it has offline support w/ the Mac and browser apps for plan B)

Being in product and engineering management for more than a decade, Linear is hands down the best tool I’ve used for ticketing. It would be hard for me to work somewhere if I wasn’t able to use it. Features are well designed, the tool is delightful to use and the design is world class. Also, there isn’t a tool I use that feels faster - it’s like they know what I’m about to click on before I do.

Karri (cofounder) from Linear here. Unfortunately we have been experiencing a DDoS attack the whole afternoon today, so the service is not optimal at the moment and the public website might be slow to load. We are actively blocking and mitigating the attack. https://linearstatus.com

Sidenote: While we had these issues, we decided to redirect our homepage to our website Figma file, where we shared iterations for the design and did a little community Q&A: https://twitter.com/linear/status/1580723933837332480)

What is this product anyway?

> "Linear is a tool to remove barriers. Powerful yet simple to use, it helps you to plan ahead, make better decisions and execute faster. You don’t have to come up with best practices for how to use Linear — we already built them directly into the product."

So much weasel words. "tool to remove barriers", "plan ahead, make better decision and execute faster".

Going a bit deep into the features page shows some features, but why not have them front and center, in plain english, on a simple, handmade HTML page, that is fast and easy to browse?

Note : I do come from a software engineering background, but as a solo developer.

Can anybody from Ramp, Loom, Vercel, Descript, Cash App, Raycast, Mercury, Retool, Alan, Arc, OpenSea or Pitch chime in on their experience with Linear and the scope of which they use it for their apps?
