Breathtakingly fast
Built for speed with 50ms interactions and real-time sync.
Sorry but 50ms is not breathtakingly fast, especially when native apps and video games can handle multiple interactions at once in 16ms or even faster.

#42Reading through the comments it appears more than 10 employees of linear are dominating 33 comments. Sorta seems like this is marketing at its sneakiest.

Sure but have you ever used Jira?

#44This is a pure marketing page, that contains nothing but buzzwords and vapid nonsense.
I smell a unicorn.

#45Can't speak for other teams who may have advanced, complex workflows but we migrated from JIRA to Linear for our small team, and haven't looked back. Just the simple fact that it feels like we can store and reference information from a ticket without spending 10 minutes waiting for it to load is a killer feature to me.
Re: Linear.app
#46I 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”.
I use Jira a lot and... there are keyboard shortcuts. There are keyboard shortcuts for Confluence.
I did not know about the jira shortcuts until recently. Not really a huge deal for me. Seems like linear's are definitely better but shrug. Keyboard shortcuts are not the source of my issues (ha!) with issue trackers.
Confluence shortcuts tho. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in my company that knows them haha. Which says something about confluence for sure.

I got a "so what" effect in under 1.5 seconds from opening the website which resulted into me ctrl+w'ing my ass out of it. If your landing page is like this it just blows.
What do you mean by a "so what" effect? Not sure I've heard that phrase before used in the context of an effect.
This is very popular in academic world. “So what” effect usually means so what is the point of this paper/website/articles? After the reader have read the whole thing from top to bottom.

I have never meet anyone who has used Jira, only suffered under it. (Though I will say my main complaints about Jira are ideological, rather than purely technical. I would dislike it even if there were 1ms page loads).

Being contrarian about landing pages is just a popular HN meme at this point... Front and center: Streamline issues, sprints, and product roadmaps. A huge image of a board that looks similar to JIRA. Then scroll down slightly. Front and center: Built for your keyboard - Fly through your tasks with rapid-fire keyboard shortcuts for everything.
> Streamline issues, sprints, and product roadmaps. How about - Software that simplifies work management for teams
At this point you are grasping at straws. Your initial point was:
> What is this product anyway?
It's extremely clear what their product is, and scrolling just a little immediately gives you an idea of how they are trying to differentiate. Your current suggestion is a simple copy change that's very slightly different from the original.

#50What 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 fea…
It's like JIRA but better, more specifically built for software engineers as opposed to being a general tool.
Jira introduced mainstream audiences to "one task assigned to one person." A radical idea, then, in corporate environments. Everything else doesn't matter.
