Linear Release Roadmaps - Next level for builders

Hey everyone! Earlier this year we opened up Linear for everyone and launched with Product Hunt. Since then, we have come a long way and we are excited to share the latest milestones in our journey. Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $13M in Series A funding led by Sequoia Capital and a slew of new product updates aimed at re-envisioning the principles and practices of building software. The new funding helps us continue developing the best in class tool for high-performing product teams. Today we are also launching Roadmaps. This feature gives companies the to ability to create a company-wide roadmap and track project execution as it happens. To help give a holistic picture of what is new in Linear, we created this new Linear Release page which highlights new features as well as major improvements developed in the last six months: - Made the interface more tactile by allowing easy list selection, drag&drop, supporting global undo with cmd+z, and having right click context menus.* - View options that let you quickly change sorting, hide and show attributes, and switch between list and board views - Views which let you create and save custom views for yourself or shared with the team or the whole company* - Reworked our notifications system to include more granular controls* - Made creating sub-issues more flexible* - Added SAML SSO option for more secure and controlled authentication - Enabled themes to allow everyone to customize how Linear looks

Hands down the best product management tool there is. We’ve been using Linear for the last 6 months and I cannot recommend it enough. On average I’m saving around 8 hours a week when compared to using Jira, not to mention that it’s actually enjoyable to use. If you’re a product manager that knows the pain of Jira (the effort of bulk editing user stories, how hilariously slow it is to use, and how awful the notifications are), you need to start using Linear ASAP.

love this! wish we cloud move away from Jira....

As an early-stage startup, we are learning everything from scratch. Having an experienced team behind Linear really helped us to optimise our workflows, push more efficiently, even to build our own product with a leaner mindset.

That's the best issue tracker/project management tool I've ever used. First time I enjoy using such a tool. First time it doesn't feel like a hassle. Thank you Linear!

We simply love the product. It is simple, lean, clear, well organized and visually super attractive. It allows the team to focus on what matters, with just the right amount of features not to spent ages in configuring the tool. In 1 day, we've managed to set up our product orga within Linear and migrate all of our items from Clubhouse to Linear. Pretty awesome. The team is extremely responsive, and features are added every weeks, while bugs are fixed in record time. Love as well the methodology advices helping us progress in our ways to do things.

I am overwhelmed about how easy it is to customize! Overall a very cool product and the UI is very clean as well.

This is epic, are there any videos I can watch to see how to best use Linear. Would also be helpful to share to other team mates to try and get the critical mass to move tools.

Great product. They don't just find problems and solve them. They deliver them with great design.

Genius Idea 🚀, VC's can finally see under the hood. Would love to join as a BD when time is right.
