Linear was much easier to use compared to alternatives like Jira, GitHub Projects, and Trello. It also provides an MCP that enables creating tickets directly from the Cursor IDE, adding client-specific tags to tickets, and offering product intelligence.
We use linear in our day-to-day. Really good for managing backlog. Really enjoy combining it with Cursor background agents.
We just started using Linear but it helped us deliver Fuzzypass much faster than the spreadsheet I was using previously. It's also a nice bar for what I consider high quality software, giving me ideas and upping my personal standards for Locke.
The speed, simplicity, and focus it brings to product management made our dev process feel frictionless. From bug tracking to roadmap clarity.
From the earliest feature spec to the final pre-launch bug squashes, Linear has been our single source of truth. Its speed and simplicity kept our small team aligned, focused, and shipping efficiently. We couldn't have managed this launch without it.
Linear is a great eng project tracking tool helping. We've used airtable, and notion, and even Teambridge for project tracking, but Linear is built for eng tracking and cycles works great.
Clean design, and keyboard-first workflow make it a joy to use compared to traditional project management tools.
Not complex like Notion or ClickUp, not simple like Trello. Perfect blend of smart business logic and functionality, while keeping the UI/UX simple yet highly effective. A whole team likes it! We are all aligned with minimal effort or time cost.
