Linear is project management that doesn't get in the way. The UI is sub-100ms fast, entirely keyboard-navigable, and designed for engineering workflows. I use it to track site features, bug fixes, and content pipeline engineering tasks. Key features: Cycles (time-boxed sprints), Roadmaps (long-term planning), GitHub integration (auto-close issues from PRs), and a powerful filtering system. The API is GraphQL-based and well-documented. I also have an MCP server connected to Claude Code so I can manage Linear issues from the terminal. Free for small teams.
