Founders

We recently migrated from Height to Linear because of the sad news that Height will be shutting down

As a Linear newbie, would love some pro tips to become more effective with it -- anyone have recommendations on how to use it well?

Linear is my favorite program, so welcome

keyboard shortcuts are incredible and worth memorizing

add to Slack if using Slack. you can add tickets & the integration is great. also have ours tied into Notion & Figma

depending on size, you can really overcomplicate. advice is to keep it simple, use Labels liberally, use Projects liberally

CEO at Google • co-founder & rectangle mover at /icebreaker • icbk.me/j4ck.fc • /j4ck • /swagcaster • DJ sixsix

relational tickets are great. mark blocked by / blocking to, or simply related

we also use tags in the issue title in addition to labels. so [FE] blah blah where [FE] is front-end, which makes it easy to see in the stack

can also use kanban view or list depending on preference
