I guess some people spend so much time in Jira or whatever that they want keyboard shortcuts for everything? My company uses Jira and I'm a developer and I've never felt like “oh my god I'm wasting so much time mousing around in Jira”.

Anyone using linear without the rest of their team adopting it yet? Obviously the full benefits will only be realized when everyone is using it, but I'm still curious to hear if people are benefitting from using it to manage their own work.

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.

Congratulations! By “DDoS” you probably mean the “Hacker News effect” from hitting #1 on the front page. And for that, congratulations!

If only... Coordinated botnet attack against our service that started some hours ago but fortunately we have been able to mitigate it through number of means and return service to users

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.

It's an issue tracker with insane frontend technical investment.

It's a ticketing system whose killer feature is that practically everything is a keyboard shortcut. It's pretty neat and let's you really get in the flow of things.

I’m not sure how keyboard shortcuts is a killer feature.

Yes. Across all companies I’d guess 20% of what goes into jira effort actually aids development, with the remaining 80% primarily aiding people other than the developers to understand how the development is unfolding and will unfold.

Sounds like at some point someone set up a good system there.

Made with electron? or what tech stack?

(Cofounder here) The app is fullstack typescript react application with custom realtime sync engine for instant updates and offline readiness. Our cofounder did a talk about our sync few years back: https://youtu.be/WxK11RsLqp4?t=2171 The app works both in the browser and we also distribute it with Electron wrapper for macOS and Windows, but it's essentially the same experience.

How did you get it to be so fast, the performance of the app and snappy mess of the UI is outstanding!
