Am I the only that doesn't "get" Linear? Even if speed is the killer feature, isn't an issue tracker a relatively low-frequency application for a dev?
Whenever I use it, I don't feel like I'm doing anything new when compared to all the other issue trackers and Kanban boards I've used before.
- ambicapter 4mo agoI honesty can’t say it’s better than Jira, the myriad options just make it a confusing mess to figure out how to navigate and put stuff (could be my company is just hella disorganized), and the GitHub tracking is annoyingly eager (just because the first PR has been merged doesn’t mean the ticket is done).
- yolo3000 4mo agoMaybe we work at the same company. I have the same experience. Don't know why people use it.
- apothegm 4mo agoSay what you will about Jira, at least it’s not a total maze.
- goosejuice 4mo agoGuess you've never seen the administrative side?
- apothegm 4mo agoOn the contrary. I’ve been an admin more than not and configured it from scratch 4 or 5 times. But even if the admin side is baroque, for a user just dealing with tickets and projects/epics it’s far less confusing.
- andersonklando 4mo agoIt is definitely way more performant than Jira + Microsoft Planner. Trello comes to mind in terms of performance. I speak from being a heavy user of Linear for my personal project and as a Jira enterprise user. A leader of 6 will spend a lot of time in such an app, so the UX is valuable and a differentiator for them.
- mrbombastic 4mo agoJira is fine and devs just grow to hate issue trackers because they hate that part of the job. Watch for another one to come and go when people get sick of linear.
- stackedinserter 4mo agoI don't understand it either. How can "Jira but faster" be a selling point?
