Linear is what happens when developers build a project management tool for developers. Every interaction is sub-50ms. Keyboard shortcuts for everything. No bloat.

The AI auto-triage is surprisingly useful — it assigns priority, labels, and team based on the issue content. Saves 5+ minutes per issue when you're processing a backlog.

The design quality sets the bar for all SaaS products. Using Linear makes Jira feel like using Internet Explorer after discovering Chrome.
