I am not affiliated in any way but we used GitHub projects at my last gig and transitioned to ZenHub and finally Linear and didn't look back.

Cannot say enough good things about Linear.

We looked at Linear and decided on Kitemaker[0] as their core thesis is enabling collaboration with eng and product (and other stakeholders). The team does daily deployments and like Linear they focus on speed and hotkeys.

Thanks for the shoutout :)

I’ve been using Linear as well for the past several months, and I’ve been really impressed with the speed and quality of software updates. It works great in the standalone app and in a browser. And for my needs, the free plan is plenty.

Yea we've been using Linear for almost a year, it's an excellent product. Basically think Superhuman for JIRA. Very clean, not overcomplicated, great keyboard support.

JIRA has a quite good keyboard support once you find the "." (dot) menu: press the . key, for example after selecting tasks or when looking at one, it opens a menu with autocompletion. This feature alone makes JIRA way more bearable for me, you can become really quick once you learn the correct keyword to complete for!

Curious about Linear. Currently using Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse).

Anybody used both Linear and Clubhouse/Shortcut? Curious what the main differences are - Shortcut is a good product.

A tangent, but whatever those companies or services are is completely indecipherable from the names.

Neither is JIRA but that didn’t stop it from eating the world.

What was the added value?

It is extremely fast and has a great set of features. The UI / UX can be a bit unintuitive until you spend some time with it.

Never realized how slow other things were until using linear and was blown away.
