Linear Reviews & Product Details

Linear is everything that I ever dreamed a development tracking tool could be and MORE. I've used so many different tools in the past, and for a me (someone who works on small software product development teams), it's the best thing I've ever seen. What I love: - it's fast. really fast - it's beautiful . I believe the founder/CEO is a designer? It's shows. The UX is flawless. I feel happy every time I open the product. - it integrates with Github - it's super easy to configure to fit the way we work - when entering a new issue, potential duplicates are conveniently displayed - highlight text and make an issue - best WYSIWYG editor in any tracking tool I've ever used. It just works.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but there is literally nothing I dislike about this tool. Well done.

I am using Linear with a stealth-mode startup on a team size of 5. We use this product daily to track our design, development and testing tasks.

It is fast, it is beautiful, it is has fantastic UX, it has great integrations, they constantly ship great, innovative features

Really hard to say - probably that they run product and coroporate website on same domain, so it is hard to find website when logged in

We manage the Agile Lifecycle of our SaaS Product with Linear: Roadmap, Sprints, Features, Bugs...

Simplicity and stunning design base in bento and a lots of product integration.

Lack of simple time tracking tool and lack of integration eg. tempo app.

Working with an international, fully remote team can be challenging when it comes to tracking milestones and issues. However, Linear addresses almost all of these challenges.

Linear makes it very easy to create issues, paste in a load of screenshots and detail, and assign it to a team mate.

I don't really have any objections, it's solid.

I need to quickly jot down tickets for development, often in the middle of a meeting, and Linear makes that clean and easy.

Team interconnectivity is the most helpful benefit of having Linear. We can share issues from one project to another and also check what Product team is planning in the timeline view.

Maybe the sidebar has many tabs together. It makes it annoying to navigate the sidebar. It could improve by making the letter bigger and trying to not combine icons with letters in the tabs.

Currently, many teams of the company are using Linear and it is helpful to have a central place to know what each other is doing, and to share tasks from project to anoother.

Direct integration with Github is probably one of the best features for us. It allows us to keep track of our updates and fixes, referencing the commit. It allows for our team mates to be able to keep up to date.

A bit of dead space and one thing we never really understood is the inbox. There is no explanation on what it is. But other than that, all good. Linear is still one of our favs.

To fall back on our previous answer, being able to update and reference our commits to let our team view the changes and update everything through the app is great.

Linear is as agile as it can be. The UI/UX of linear is so smooth that you will never think of returning to other softwares. I like the fact that it's experience is unparalleled when it comes to running cross platform.

I love almost everything about linear. One thing that our team struggled is that it took some time to get comfortable with linear. I wish if there could be some sorts of guide for users migrating from other mainstream similar softwares.

Linear wants to make Agile processes more user friendly and accessible. Accessbility (keyboard shortcut, look and feel etc) is the best attributes of linear. It's integration with other softwares like slack is also something we regularly use and makes the entire work processes much simpler.

Linear is extremely easy to use. There is a web application and a desktop application (I prefer to use the desktop application). The UI is simple and straightforward. I can add different types of tags/labels to each ticket. I can also change the status, the priority, the sprint, the project, etc. and add engineering estimates. I have used both Jira and Asana extensively in previous roles, and I find the UI of Linear to be superior.

I wish there were also mobile applications like Jira or Asana have! This would help me create tickets for my team, update statuses, or respond to comments on-the-go rather than having to wait until I'm back at my computer. Additionally, I think it would be helpful if Linear also had an adjacent documentation software (similar to Atlassian's Confluence) so that we didn't have to use other software for PRDs, architecture documentation, and other forms of documentation related to our sprints.

Linear helps us with sprint planning, quarterly roadmapping, ticket/project status tracking, prioritization, and so much more! Linear is our one-stop shop for all things related to planning and resourcing.

Easy to use and great for tracking efficiently

maybe the user interface or the lack of possibility to add more details on the progress like, beginning, middle, end ( completed)

it helps us track our work in development and not only

Easy to use & opinionated. Great productivity features like cycles, roadmaps and more. Fantastic integration with developer tools like Gitlab.

Needs a Linux native and iPhone native app. Could use more integration with sales-based workflows.

Productivity, product development, task insights.

- vim-like shortcuts - simple UI -beautiful design - opinionated - very fast - works offline - great GitHub integration - easy to contact support via command/omnibar

- no ability to merge labels - copy-pasting and working with images are buggy - inbox filters are not synced across clients - no group logic-operators for filters

- issue management - bug logging - project management - product management - engineering management

Keyboard shortcuts! These cannot be understated. You can use them in browser or in-app and never touch a mouse. It's fairly lightweight, and smooth, and is constantly adding features. The API is delightful along with the various integrations.

I'd love to see more improvements to charting/data/metrics as well as teams. They are making great strides, however.

It is making work visible, helping to keep alignment on projects, goals and targets. It is continuing to help us plan and improve our workflows and we move faster as a result.

It's simple and easy to use, with all the features you want and very little that you don't need. It integrates well with other services we use like Slack, Figma, and Canny

Nothing bad to say really. They toyed with some glassmorphic design elements recently that I didn't love but they've since abandoned that thankfully.

It helps us easily manage our issue backlog and prioritise our workflow.

Linear is fast, easy and carefully designed. Unlike other project management tools you are asked to work in a methodology which they have defined is best for software companies. Solved most of the problems of other PM tools.

They charge you the same amount for guests and that could be challenging if you are working with external parties.

Linear helps to streamline our dev and design teams. We create roadmaps, projects, and sprints and maintain our backlog of tasks in Linear. We also use it to handle support cases.

I like that Linear is a powerful project management platform that allows its users to easily organize, track, and collaborate on tasks and projects. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to create tasks, assign them to team members, and see progress updates in real-time.

I don't like that Linear is limited in terms of customization options. You can't customize the look and feel of the interface beyond basic settings, and there aren't any advanced features that allow you to tailor the system to your specific needs.

Linear is solving the problem of efficiently and effectively managing software projects, providing a streamlined and organized method of tracking and resolving issues. It allows teams to quickly identify, prioritize, and resolve bugs in their code and keep everyone on the same page. This can benefit teams by saving time, reducing stress, and helping ensure that bugs are resolved quickly and correctly.

It's biased for developers and their planning, but as a Marketing professional, the tool is simple and easy enough to use to follow along and even collab with development treams.

The UI/UX is a bit more engineer friendly. It's a bit less intuitive and less flashy, but that's probably what's preferred for developers. I wish there were different modes/skins you could use.

Easily track and follow along plans/sprints with developers so you can work async and meet deadlines to push to market. I love to see other teams on there and get things done in a timely manner.

The best feature of the Linear app is the ease of use and simplicity compared to other task management tools. With Linear, creating roadmaps, sprint planning, and tracking tasks is child's play. The keyboard shortcuts are also one of the best thing I like about Linear

Honestly, there is not much that you won't like about Linear. Things that might be improved can be more visibility and discoverability of sprint performance. Maybe make it easier to see distribution of work between different team members and teams.

Linear.app helps us organize and track the sprint, keep tasks and bugs, host scrum boards and roadmaps, etc. It's a pivotal tool for us and is very high impacting on the performance of the members as makes it super easy to track the tasks at hand.

Linear has a decent UX, allowing ticket management with labels in a fairly easy way. I can have different views saved, create projects and assign issues in it.

When adding issues to a project, I feel like we could list them in a better way to have main categories and sub categories of issues displayed with dropdown.

We manage our sprints with Linear. This means creating issues/tasks for each developper, estimating them, labeling them for stats purposes. This includes both new features but also bugs and improvements.

Its interface is very clean. You can create your own dashboard with filters. And there is a slack where you can ask questions

I would like it to have more documentation and guides on how to get the most of it. It has the concept of cycles but there is not enough information in the site nor references

It is helping administrating our software project. Creating sprints, projects, dashboard. Using scrum methodology

I really like Linear.app as a project management tool. It has a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to keep track of tasks and progress. The ability to easily collaborate with team members and assign tasks is a huge benefit.

One thing I dislike about Linear.app is that it doesn't have as many features as some other project management tools on the market. However, this can also be seen as a positive because it keeps the app simple and focused on the core features. Also lacking analytics.

Linear.app is solving the problem of cluttered and disorganized project management. It allows teams to easily track progress and collaborate on tasks, which ultimately leads to more efficient and successful projects. As a user, this benefits me by saving time and reducing stress when managing projects.
