Linear

“When the someone behind the software is its customer they'll get loads of judgment calls right first time.”

“They're simple, easy to quickly parse, don't take over your browser's decade old predictable patterns”

“It's a lot easier and better to just write an MCP against Linear than re-inventing the wheel”

“somewhat more cohesive experiences but it still feels like tooling for agent teaming is quite lacking”

“what makes you think if linear became the unified platform that it wouldn't just become like GitHub?”

“we are back at square one when everybody uses Linear and they start going the fate of GitHub”

“I really wish Linear would swoop in and become the unified platform for software development”

“Slack, Linear, and Notion decided to each have a "Helper (Renderer)" process that uses 700MB of RAM each”

“doesn't seem to read the AGENTS.md file, follow along on a PR nor let you configure a sandbox”

“Doing that speedily and with keyboard shortcuts in Linear is almost enjoyable.”

“for a user just dealing with tickets and projects/epics it's far less confusing”

“Linear was simple and fast. Unfortunately it is has become an example of creeping complexity.”

“It does take a huge amount of rigor and determination to apply these methods in each layer.”

“I had to get a colleague to show me how to add a due date to an item because it's hidden in the nav pane.”

“Seemed laggy as most web apps, but in contrast to JIRA it's lightspeed of course.”

“Linear is the best web app I have ever seen, period. It is also the best bug-tracker I've ever used.”

“I’ve actually found Linear to be quite slow? There was a week where it would also spin at 100% CPU”

“They're doing some really cool stuff with Agents too.. automating software pm.”

“there are notable, highly performant applications written with it (Linear comes to mind)”

“The absolute craft that has gone into building this product and company I truly believe is second to none.”

“By far and away, linear. The task tracking features you actually use, it's fast”

“They have a first class MCP server, and you can basically run a project from your agent.”

“I like the 'copy prompt' feature, it's super simple but makes it just a few seconds to go from issue -> claude session.”

“100% on using linear as the source of truth! We went a bit further and just use Linear as the prompt.”

“We've set up a linear integration where I can delegate simpler tasks to cloud agents”

“Linear built a world-class contrarian product at one point, and last week they released a below average blog post”

“Linear is one of the snappiest web applications I've ever used, and it is written in React.”

“i outline what i want in linear, have claude synthesize into a plan and we iterate until we're both happy, then i let it rip. works great.”

“Linear's agent is integrated into the workflow where the planning actually happens and is multi-player by design.”

“The keyboard shortcuts and speed make a real difference when you're context-switching constantly.”

“traditional lists (Jira, Linear) great for tracking status , but terrible for tracking context”

“I never really experience any problems running Notion, Figma, VScode and Linear side by side”

“every time I use it I flail around for ages trying to figure out how to mark a task completed”

“Been incredibly happy with the speed, featureset, and pace of new (good) features in Linear.”

“Don't need an MCP sever for Linear when the agent knows how to use the already there GraphQL API.”

“Most work-planning tools today (Jira, Linear, etc.) are DB-centric and form-driven, which makes them awkward for agentic workflows.”

“Running Slack, Figma, Linear, Spotify, Discord, Obsidian, and others at the same time consumes a lot of memory for no good reason.”

“Linear is a good way for me to offload these computations and just focus on clearing the list”

“Linear is great, it's what JIRA should've been. Basically task management for people who don't want to deal with task management.”

“It it fully keyboard navigatable and has shortcuts for pretty much everything. It's great!”
