Computers used to be magical. But much of that magic has been lost over time, replaced by subpar tools and practices that slow teams down and hold great work back. Frustrated with building and managing software projects in high-growth companies ourselves, we founded a company to build something better. We named it Linear to signify progress. Productivity software should be opinionated. It's the only way the product can truly do the heavy lifting for you. Flexible software lets everyone invent their own workflows, which eventually creates chaos as teams scale.
