- metadat 4y agoFor a small team, I can say Linear beats the hell out of JIRA. I sure don't miss the 30+ second page loads, slow pagelads, slow saves, slow edit button, confusing comments section, and accidental random ticket body erasure when working with a heavily loaded JIRA instance.
- dmix 4y agoSame, if we’re going to talk about Linear I’d also like to say it’s probably one of the best webs apps that does one thing really well. Any tool for organizing teams of programmers should be a) dead simple and b) extremely performant. Which Linear does both. Probably one the fastest web app around, given how it preloads all JSON data from all sublinks on the page, so it loads immediately when you click on any links. It performs like a native app (assuming it’s online :p, it has offline support w/ the Mac and browser apps for plan B)
- rsanheim 4y agoIt doesn't take much to beat JIRA ;). But seriously, Linear is one of the best project management tools I've used. They do an SPA pretty well, which is rare, and its powerful yet pretty simple to use. I do find it a bit hard to wrangle saved views and find things via search sometimes, but overall its one of the 'least bad' tools in this category. The only other app that I would say is comparable is Shortcut (https://shortcut.com https://shortcut.com), which I've used in anger at previous jobs. It's a bit simpler than Linear, a bit easier to get up to speed with, but less powerful. But both are very good. And god help you if you have to use JIRA.
- PakG1 4y agoInteresting question, would Linear performance slow down once it becomes heavily loaded? Are you confusing app performance preference for usage preference, or is there something where Linear is superior at a feature level? If JIRA's performance was lightning fast when heavily loaded, would your preference still be Linear?
- atonse 4y agoI am seeing multiple references here to 30 second long page loads. What is causing your JIRA projects to take that long? Too many custom fields? Large numbers of issues? Too many plugins? Really curious because most of our issues are sub-second.
- nu11ptr 4y agoMade with electron? or what tech stack?
- jorde 4y ago(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 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.
- dmuso 4y agoHow did you get it to be so fast, the performance of the app and snappy mess of the UI is outstanding!
- kajaktum 4y agoOne thing that I hated when I used to use Confluence is the amount of loading it does every, single, time I navigate to any page. I can't help but feel the pain of my browser downloading and loading the same thing over and over and over again every day. Please, what is wrong simple user interface like we have here in HN?
- gajus 4y agoCongrats on the launch of the new website! Feel free to add Contra to https://linear.app/customers https://linear.app/customers. We are avid users of Linear!
- brundolf 4y agoLooks great, but Jira was never getting picked by the users this is marketed to; it's picked by their bosses. It'll be much tougher to sell those people on an alternative.
- j_jochem 4y agoJIRAs growth strategy was based on developers adopting it without having to talk to their bosses first because it was cheap enough to do so. Nowadays, this probably works differently, but that’s how they initially gained traction.
- xyzzy_plugh 4y agoThis post is without context, but I assume it is regarding the fact that Linear experienced (is experiencing?) a prolonged outage today and this particular link redirected to their new home page's design in Figma, where you could see a chaotic cloud of cursors belonging to everyone else trying to file a ticket.
- timdorr 4y agoSaid Figma design: https://www.figma.com/file/SBkJnBwITTA3lkHCb5Oopz/Community-Homepage-Q%26A?node-id=0%3A1&viewport=1247%2C2154%2C0.16 https://www.figma.com/file/SBkJnBwITTA3lkHCb5Oopz/Community-...

- erex78 4y agoBeing in product and engineering management for more than a decade, Linear is hands down the best tool I’ve used for ticketing. It would be hard for me to work somewhere if I wasn’t able to use it. Features are well designed, the tool is delightful to use and the design is world class. Also, there isn’t a tool I use that feels faster - it’s like they know what I’m about to click on before I do.
- enra 4y agoKarri (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. We are actively blocking and mitigating the attack. https://linearstatus.com https://linearstatus.com Sidenote: While we had these issues, we decided to redirect our homepage to our website Figma file, where we shared iterations for the design and did a little community Q&A: https://twitter.com/linear/status/1580723933837332480 https://twitter.com/linear/status/1580723933837332480)
- ghayes 4y agoI just want to say the app is amazing and my team loves it. Good luck mitigating the DDoS, and even under attack, Linear is faster than JIRA.
- latchkey 4y agoJIRA is a pretty low bar.
- KMnO4 4y agoCongratulations! By “DDoS” you probably mean the “Hacker News effect” from hitting #1 on the front page. And for that, congratulations!

- inquirer39243 4y agoI couldn't find a mention of it - but is there any plans or ability to self-host? I'm personally not a fan of keeping everything in the cloud. Also are there export options in the event someone wanted to leave the platform?
- kumarvvr 4y agoWhat 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 features page shows some features, but why not have them front and center, in plain english, on a simple, handmade HTML page, that is fast and easy to browse? Note : I do come from a software engineering background, but as a solo developer.
- annadane 4y agoA lot of websites are like this for products, it makes it really tedious to navigate
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- julianlam 4y agoIt'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.
- kumarvvr 4y agoIts not obvious at first sight.
- warent 4y agoBeing 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.

- aliqot 4y agoCan anybody from Ramp, Loom, Vercel, Descript, Cash App, Raycast, Mercury, Retool, Alan, Arc, OpenSea or Pitch chime in on their experience with Linear and the scope of which they use it for their apps?
- thomaspaulmann 4y agoCo-founder of Raycast here. We've been using Linear since the beginning when it was only two of us. We're 16, and the app has become integral to our workflows. In a small company, it's crucial to be aligned. We use Linear to spec out our work and build up momentum. We ship an update of Raycast every two weeks and use cycles and projects to ensure we keep the release schedule. I love the speed of the app. The real-time sync and keyboard shortcuts guarantee fast interactions. We surround ourselves with the best tools to raise the bar of what everybody expects from software. It helps us to build better software, and Linear is an app (and website) that pushes our understanding of quality forward.
- aliqot 4y agoThanks for responding
- c_t_montgomery 4y agoHey there, I'm an engineer at The Browser Company (who makes Arc). It's critical to our eng, design & product processes. We switched from another tool because the other tool was painfully slow. It was a night & day difference. It's been about a year now since we've fully committed to Linear. I'm very glad we have! We use their cycles feature heavily. We ship our app weekly, and our product development process is split into three 2-week cycles that form a "milestone". We model that work accordingly in Linear. We also use their "Projects" feature quite heavily. We'll often have folks working across a few projects a time. This feature helps my ADHD brain understand what the most important thing across any number of ongoing projects is, and then focus on accomplishing that. Personally, the best feature for me is the speed of the app. That, alongside the keyboard shortcuts, make it pretty hard to give up. Another thing I particularly like about Linear (aside from speed, product polish & wonderful design) is how you can opt-in to using it more. If you just want to use it as an issue tracker for teams, that works great! It's how we started. But you can also grow into the product more as you harden your processes or figure out what works best for you. tl;dr — I can't imagine ever using another tool to help build products besides Linear.
- dawnerd 4y agoso question if someone from Linear is reading these, which I assume they are: The site says shortcuts for everything. That's nice. But one of my biggest gripes is accidental actions with no indication on what you just did. If I have the app open in one window and don't realize I have focus and just start typing will it just start doing actions? Is there a way to disable these? Clickup does this to me a lot and its super annoying.
- jorde 4y agoWe implement undo through Cmd+z
- tkk23 4y agoThat's a fix but doesn't give you the feedback about what you just did.
- rzzzt 4y agoReddit does this, annoyingly after typing Ctrl-F. I have to wait a short while until the browser's search bar pops up at the bottom, otherwise my instinct to immediately start typing the search phrase causes all sorts of actions, like following some people, hiding a thread, who knows what random stuff happens on each key press.
- evolve2k 4y agoWe do Kanban in Trello. Is this my new Trello for Kanban?
- nathan_f77 4y agoThis seems like a really nice tool. I'm quite happy with some of the "older" tools I'm still using: Shortcut for project management at my company, Trello for personal todo lists, and Evernote for notes. Trying to stick to the philosophy of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" when it comes to all these new tools and services. I think Shortcut and Trello are still great tools and I'm not in a hurry to replace them. But Linear does look very good. Maybe I'll try it out whenever I start a new project.
- kevinma 4y agoEvernote is a classic example of destroying an app by using Electron.
- pqs 4y agoI'm using it every day. I have analyzed all alternatives and all of them fail with something, especialy since the Tasks feature was introduced. So, no, it has not been destroyed. I has been tough, but I think a lot of people use it and are happy with it.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- mayoff 4y agoI 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”.
- captainkrtek 4y agoYou’re lucky then
- eof 4y agoYes. 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.
- coreyoconnor 4y agoI 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.
- EamonnMR 4y agoJira used to aggressively interpret keyboard input as a stream of hotkeys which would result in entropy being introduced into your board. Latest redesign fixed that, but at the cost of being criminally slow.
- throw123123123 4y agoIt probably depends on setups, but at Robinhood, Jira would take 15 seconds to load a wiki page (any wiki page)
- xwowsersx 4y agoAnyone 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.
- CPLNTN 4y agoI work with two long term clients (one has two projects going on, the other three), plus I have my own personal projects. Linear has become a vital part of my workflow. The first thing is that splitting tasks by teams (client 1, client 2, and me) and then by project for each team allows me to do some neat stuff: 1. I have a global view, where i can see the status of each single ticket. I use this because when I’m selecting my next task. I don’t know if I’m gonna choose something from client 1, client 2, or my personal project 2. I have a “bug” view that aggregates every task with a bug label, it’s the first thing I check when selecting a new task, same reason of .1 3. I have a view for each client, that aggregates the tasks from every project of that client. I use this when I’m doing a call with the client and I have to update them on the status of each project Before Linear I was using multiple Trello boards and then using a power up to sync all of them in multiple aggregation board, to essentially replicate the same workflow. Also, it feels more native then trello, it’s quicker than Jira and the key lard shortcut are super handy when I’m creating a lot of tasks, since I have to duplicate each task from the client ticketing system.
- xwowsersx 4y agoThanks for sharing, that's helpful. I'm also using multiple trello boards to manage my own work while our team uses Jira (which is awful).

- Pulcinella 4y agoBreathtakingly 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.
- aiddun 4y agoSure but have you ever used Jira?
- Pulcinella 4y agoI 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).
- imiric 4y agoI don't think that's a fair performance bar to set for web apps, or even native apps. The 16ms window for games is used to process input, shuffle data in very fast memory, do calculations, and render a frame on a very fast GPU specifically built for that purpose. Web apps can also render frames in 16ms, but input often involves fetching data from much slower and unreliable disk or network, processing data on a much slower general purpose CPU, and rendering it via runtimes and frameworks that add considerable overhead. Given all of that, 50ms (20 FPS) does sound very responsive, if maybe not breathtakingly so.
- Rapzid 4y agoIt's not uncommon to see input latency on consoles that high(or slightly higher even). Are you familiar with console input latencies?
- tflinton 4y agoReading through the comments it appears more than 10 employees of linear are dominating 33 comments. Sorta seems like this is marketing at its sneakiest.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- mdeeks 4y agoSeems unlikely it is sneaky marketing considering this was posted to HN right as they were in the middle of a multi-hour DDoS. My guess is that they are excited about their product being on here.
- wmf 4y agoIt's a really easy mistake to make so I don't blame them. When people are talking about your product it's instinctive to jump in; it takes a lot of effort to not dominate the conversation.
- nemothekid 4y agoCan'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.
- its_notion 4y agoI stopped using Jira years ago, and stopped hiring people, and work with one other full time person, making a complex software product, and I feel like I accomplish 2x as much as I used to with much more value, at far lower cost.
- kotlin2 4y agoI get the appeal of ticketing, I really do. But ultimately, it's a form of control. ICs can't be trusted to figure out what to do on their own, and can't be bothered to talk their team for guidance. And management needs dashboards to track progress. I get it. But I don't want to work on a team where such things are necessary.
- prange 4y agoIt’s not as simple as that. ‘Talking’ doesn’t create a reference where you can see what’s been done yet, and of course people leave teams or get sick etc. so there are many reasons to want to see what was and wasn’t completed.
- eru 4y agoOn a small enough scale, 'talking' does work. So do post-its etc. If kotlin2 sticks to those small enough scales, they can indulge their preferences. Bigger organisations have more and more need for structure.
- prange 4y agoVery true. My point was that you don’t have to use ticketing as a control mechanism - you can use it however you like and it doesn’t imply distrust. Similarly you can have an overbearing or micromanaging boss whether or not ticketing is used.
- eru 4y agoAs your organisation get bigger some structure and bureaucracy is necessary and beneficial. Of course, whether that structure and bureaucracy needs to be a ticketing system is a different question.
- brundolf 4y agoThat's one form that ticketing can take, but I think it's way off to suggest that's all ticketing is. I've known even solo devs who got a lot of benefit out of a (simple) ticketing system.
- aetherspawn 4y agoOK, we are firmware developers who use JIRA in a very advanced way with our clients, and we gave it a go and I just came back here to give the team some feedback because no doubt they are watching this very closely. The killer missing feature for us is that we can't define different issue types. For example, we would typically have issue types like "Requirement", "Bug", "Signal", etc. with different icons and use child/parent hierarchies to sort these in a tree with this hierarchy: L1 high-level business requirement, L2 technical breakdown stories, L3 very specific requirement/bug/signal. In line with this, there's no way to show the issue layout as an expandable tree-view (called "List" view in JIRA), and so our requirements tree would get all mashed up and flattened. For each technical story/signal we would have a custom field where we set the source file where we are implementing it. This would help us hammer out the architecture of projects very quickly and have them line-up with technical requirements. Doesn't seem to be a way to add custom fields to different issue types. Later we would export this all out of JIRA to help write our documentation. Lastly, a JIRA replacement without a corresponding Confluence replacement could be a bit of a point of friction. I hope that somewhere on your roadmap you plan to develop a basic solution to cater for the Confluence need. Otherwise ... it looks nice. Have you thought about offering a self-hosted version, since JIRA no longer offers this?
- rjzzleep 4y agoWhen you say very advanced way do you mean Jira workflows? Or do you mean more than that?
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoActually, I think your post highlights a couple important things: 1. The reason everyone hates Jira is because, over time, it has essentially become all things to all people, yet it doesn't solve the needs of any individual group perfectly. It actually has a huge, ginormous feature set, and part of the difficulty is figuring which settings or set of features are right for your team. 2. The reason Jira has become so difficult to replace is because nearly every team of moderate complexity uses some subset of features that aren't replicated in any other tool. So, to the point, I hope that Linear doesn't implement your requested features (not exactly, but I just hope they are extremely judicious in which features they add). Or, rather, I'd just point out that Jira got to be the way it is because they basically implemented all the features. I think a good competitor will necessarily have to hit that sweet spot where they have 98% of the most critical features (especially startups/new companies), but will ruthlessly not add features that will lead to bloat and complexity.
- tipiirai 4y agoOur team tried Linear for three months and here are my takes: 1. It's fast. All interactions are instant. 2. It looks great from top to details. 3. It's quite complex. The information architecture is confusing. Ultimately we decided to go back to GitHub Issues because we spent too much time on clicking and finding things. Hope they fix the UI hierarchy.
- chucky123 4y agoI don't know much about linear but I'll describe their landing page as pure design porn.
- shubhamjain 4y agoWhen people crib about how the modern web stack is hodgepodge of buzzwords with little-to-no value, you can show them this. Nearly every page loads within milliseconds, and it's perfectly usable even if you disable JS. The product itself is a great example of how you can deliver a blazingly fast and near-native experience with web technologies. I have been programming web for nearly 15 years. I, too, have issues with needless complexity, but I also dislike how (many) senior folks want to pretend that simple HTML/CSS is all it takes to build anything and all the coders using modern stack are stupid enough to ignore that.
- mkl95 4y ago> I also dislike how (many) senior folks want to pretend that simple HTML/CSS is all it takes to build anything Although simple HTML/CSS cannot build anything (not even close), simple HTML/CSS with a sprinkle of good JS can get you very far.
- Semaphor 4y agoWhat I’m missing, is bouncing issues back and forth. We rarely have clearly defined issues, our current system [0] has a "fixer" and a "tester", if I’m the fixer and I need clarification at some point, I set the issue to "missing information" which removes it from my "issues waiting on you" list, and adds it to the same list for the tester. This is extremely convenient for us as our issues are often discussion threads. I’ve rarely seen this mirrored in other ticketing systems. But then with 1 IT person (Hi), we are not quite the normal customer of such systems. [0] DoneDone V1, which has an atrocious search function and questionable email notifications, can’t remember what our issue was with their current version V2 https://www.donedone.com/ https://www.donedone.com/
- marsouin 4y agoI love Linear, but my problem is involving clients and external users to do QA for instance, the fact that guest accounts (which are often temporary) are priced as full users makes it too expensive for us.
- taylorfinley 4y agoI spend all day in Linear and really love it! Thanks for your quick response to the ddos today, it was a nice opportunity to brew some coffee :) I run a team that sits between Support and Engineering, bug reports from the highest tiers of support are written up as issues and submitted to our triage. We investigate the issues to find root causes, determine the parties best situated to resolve them, assess user impact, add appropriate labels, and then move them to the triage of the appropriate team's space. The biggest limitation we've run into is adding metadata to our issues: labels are great, but when you transfer to another team you lose labels or have to add clutter to that team's set of chosen labels. I've ended up building some tooling on top of Linear to record things like user impact assessment data. This tooling posts the data back into the issue as a formatted comment so it's visible inline, but we can query it directly in our database and build metrics off of it. This approach has really opened Linear up for us. Thanks for the graphQL end point, it's been very helpful!
- _answ 4y agoI have used Linear on a couple of my hobby projects and it's a great tool to quickly capture features and bugs. My one gripe about the new website (and it's something I notice many projects stumble at) is that the written copy fails to explain what the product actually is. "A better way to build products", "the new standard for software development", "a tool to remove barriers" -- this tells me nothing, unlike a simple "it's an issue tracker bro" would.
- xctr94 4y agoPossibly the marketing gang writing copy about ‘benefits’ instead of features? It’s supposed to help drive conversion.
- Aicy 4y agoI thought the fact that it was an issue tracker was self evident from the first picture on the page. Show don't tell!
- _answ 4y agoI'm sure the visually impaired users appreciate that a lot. "Show, don't tell" is good advice for creative writing, which this website isn't. As a potential customer, it shouldn't be my job to cut through the marketing fluff to figure out if a product is something that is relevant to me. This buzzword-driven style of writing, which has infected many a software project in recent years, is a pure triumph of form over function. Maybe it is necessary to appeal to the CTO types of the industry, but as a simple developer I do find it confusing and frankly repulsive.
- motoxpro 4y agoI immediately scroll down to a picture/video. If you don't show me something I am gone. The Linear home page is incredible in my eyes. Just as a visually impaired user might not like pictures, a dyslexic person might not like text. Just another perspective for ya.
- m1keil 4y agoWe are really happy customers of Linear and have nothing but good things to say about it. Product is light and snappy, customisable just in the right amount and UI/UX is very predictable. Biggest weakness is definitely the "workflow" part. For example, trying to automate rather simple workflow that involves email to ticket isn't trivial and either requires you writing your own integration or passing via something like Zapier (or writing your own integration with Zapier?).
- vebra 4y agoI've tried it recently, since it markets itself as being performant, and native-like performance is what other popular tools like Jira or Trello miss. I want to say upfront that 50ms user interactions is not what I would consider "breathtakingly fast" as the website claims. It's much better than the tools mentioned above, but doesn't really cut it for me. Maybe I'm old, but I see lots of unnecessary animations, that (in my opinion) contribute massively to the perceived slowness of basic interactions. Some of the animations are not that smooth at all, e.g. the new issue label menu color dots jiggle when menu animation finishes. I'm so tired of seeing marketing speak like "UI elegance with world-class performance" to then be only disappointed in the difference between my and the author's views on what "performance" means. Feature-wise Linear looks great though, so I might give it another try in some time. P.S. Can someone please explain the hate for the pointer cursor? Why some products refuse to use it for links and buttons? edit: I reread my comment and found it sounding a bit too critical. I really think that Linear is much better that most of the alternatives in the regard of UI/performance. It's just that I hate how the meaning of the word "performance" devalued with time and claims like "50ms = breathtakingly fast/world-class" continue to contribute to that.
- exclipy 4y agoI'm pretty sure 50ms latency between click and feedback is imperceptible to most humans. That's 3 frames at 60fps. I don't know what superhuman perception you have, but I'm personally good with anything up to 100ms. The alternative is Jira where we're talking something like 5000ms to load an issue.
- ojkelly 4y agoFrom memory there's an option in the settings to enable pointer cursor. I'd wager they're doing it becuase a pointer cursor feels more like a web browser, and would impede the feeling of the app being native.
- nmcela 4y agoI agree, it's quite ridiculous to call that performant when considering the reality of what's possible. But compared to other electron apps, it's way better, and the team has done a good job with the bad tools given. I suppose the bar isn't very high when it comes to performance, but it's a nice positive signal that it's used as a marketing point like that. Although you do point out that the expectations are often like from two different worlds, which is true. I guess it leaves room for competent competitors.
- omniscient_oce 4y agoI use it for my personal projects and really like it because of how quick and responsive it is plus the overall design aesthetic is pleasing to me. At the end of the day though it's an issue tracker and there are quite a few out there. Of the ones I've tried Linear is the best so I hope that they keep improving their product without bloating it too much. That's what I'm worried about most.
- rvieira 4y agoLinear is nice looking app and I the workflow is well thought out. Unfortunately I stopped using due to the lack of robust offline features (this might have improved meanwhile).
- viraptor 4y agoSo I tried to figure out what platforms the app is available for... But it's not on the website. The download page just tells me it's not available for my current system (Android).
- solardev 4y agoIt's just a web app, isn't it?
- viraptor 4y agoThere is a download page, so no, there seems to be something more.
- puyoxyz 4y agoThere’s an electron wrapper for macOS and Windows, but it’s the same as the web app, so you’re not missing out on anything. Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33199562 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33199562
- lomz 4y agoI tried to convince my team to jump ship to Linear from ClickUp. Initially, we thought that ClickUp would be better than Jira, but ClickUp's horrible sync ends up making it slower than Jira since you're performing operations over and over again until they stick. ClickUp's strategy seems to be to churn out half baked features to get a really impressive feature comparison list to hide under a mountain of tech debt (that's how they got us during our trial, at least). I used Linear by myself until the free-tier issue limit was used up. I can confidently say it worked great for me (the integrations and built in GitHub automation were killer for me, and worked with 0 config out of the box). However, I had trouble getting my PM on board because she was concerned that Linear was a great issue tracking tool, but we'd be losing too many capabilities from ClickUp. Personally, I'd rather have a targeted tool that does one thing extremely well rather than a tool that does 10 things poorly.
- crsAbtEvrthng 4y agoI would love to use the app for future projects but I can't because the advertised "offline mode" is not what I would expect it to be. If I open the Mac app when I'm offline I just get a blank window and have no access to any of my data. I assume this is because of a login failure and non of the data is accessible on device. So I have to login once and keep the app open before I go offline. If I close the app while being offline and reopen it without internet connection I won't have access to any of my data. This is sadly killing the app for me. Are there any plans to implement a real offline mode? Just a "read only" mode of the last state I had when last logged in would be enough for me.
