Congratulations on the launch.

How does this compare with https://linear.app?

We think Linear's a beautifully designed app that does Jira better than Jira for some teams.

That being said, we're trying to be a bit different. Teams using us tend not to split things down into micro tasks, but instead leverage the document-like structure of our work items to bring the whole team into a single workspace, thinking about and working on features/initiatives together. I think we also think about integrations a bit differently, but I don't have a ton of experience with Linear's integrations.

We're also a bit more crazy about hotkeys I think. Seriously, we're pretty obsessed ;-)

So, will there be vi(like) keybindings, or will we have to make our own via the graphql Api and something like neovim/ruby|lua? ;)

There is literally a hotkey for everything in linear.

For one it doesn't lag when I scroll through their landing page unlike linear.app

Bummer. The actual linear application is ridiculously fast.
Thanks! Seems like Firefox unfortunately not that good a supporting animations as Safari or Chrome. Need to take in to account when make updates on the homepage
CEO of Linear here. Happy to answer questions.

We have quite bunch of startups and larger growth companies using us, anything from 3 to 500 engineers, with 100 or 20,000 issues. Linear is modeled around our experiences building software at Coinbase, Uber, Airbnb etc, from early to late stage and what we see is a modern way to develop software.

We have support for roadmaps, projects, cycles (sprints), custom views, multiple teams, backlogs, list/kanban, and robust search and filtering. Lot more about the features here: https://docs.linear.app/

Linear is also offline first app so all the interactions are instant, which especially key for keyboard shortcuts.
