I love Notion, but I love Linear even more. take that lunch 💪❤

[@danielhardingknudsen1638]

I think this is a very positive direction for Linear, and I think a lot of these new features are great, because they hint at a future where projects are much better vehicles for taking an opportunity from early idea, through discovery and all they way to delivered and deployed.
Sidenote: It's a departure from your "old" Linear manifesto - of keeping product (discovery) work outside the tool - and I like it! As an empowered product squad, the whole team (devs included) cares about opportunities and how to work with them way earlier than just when the "project" is ready to be defined in developer delivery tasks. Discovery and delivery are interdependent - a continuous back and forth - and it does not make a ton of sense of having to track the discovery work/tasks somewhere else, and force the team to look multiple places to understand the full scope of the opportunity/project they are working on. But i digress :)
One thing (among others) I would absolutely love to get added is labels for projects. As a (slightly) larger product organisation operating within Linear, having the ability to understand our projects in a much more granular way is essential. Providing labels with strong filter options, and the ability to save views, would be a great first step to grant us the power of building out the contexts we need to make sense of what oppotunities we have, how they tie into company objectives, how we should priorities them, and what state they are currently in.
But overall, it seems you are on to something great, so I will await with excitement to see what comes next

[@MatthewKern-uy2hh]

Awesome add. Love the level of granularity on start and target dates.

[@ClarkNewlove]

Thank you Linear! Better rich text support is a great add.

[@GMG-BillyGoat]

Yet another massively helpful release! Thanks Linear team! By far my favourite software

[@oscklm]

I could've sworn i just dreamed about much of this functionality. This is great!

[@lukholomolose1492]

I really love Linear, it's such an amazing product. Can't wait for the mobile release!

[@alex.bussey]

This is great!

[@stephaniemay9090]

turning bullet points into issues and that having (documented and) tracked on auto? wtf! great job on the product features! lil things like this make a difference

[@alvgaona]

Keep up the great quality.

[@harshal_harle]

Awesome update👍

[@0xtz_]

linear is the best thing that's we use in our small team as it's improved the productivity like 🚀

[@ZachHewlin]

What does Linear recommend you use to centralise ideas/requests? Trying to decide between adding each idea as a new Project with an 'Idea' status vs what it looks like you've done here which is to add each idea as a new Issue within a catch-all Project.

[@upwwward]

That's Awesome! Thanks for the update. 🙏
A bit off-topic, but what I am missing is the ability to create Custom Types (like "Websites", and "Clients") and be able to add custom fields to those (including relationships, so I can link "Websites" to "Clients" in my example). Then I will be able to store separate data for my PM and attach custom fields to my issues.

[@LinearApp]

We're exploring some solutions for a "Customer" type entity within Linear… watch this space!

[@upwwward]

​@@LinearApp Nice to hear! However, I really wish to have custom types. Now that there is a great way to create "docs" in Linear, that the PM part is already awesome, the next missing part to me is "data" (with custom types, fields and relationships). Then, the ultimate one will be automations / workflows (Jira does that really well). Hopefully, those dreams will come true someday.

[@TRK--xk7bb]

Any plans on supporting Knowledge Base features, or should we still combine it with something like Notion?

[@LinearApp]

Documents outside of projects is on our list to look at. But for now, it's best to use the tools designed for having internal Wikis.

[@thomasshakelton]

Been a Linear Pro user for some time now and loving it with my team. This is super specific but any way to sync Microsoft Planer Tasks or how should one operate if a company uses both for project management?

[@LinearApp]

That one hasn't come up much yet, so no set plans to integrate with it so far - but we'll keep it in mind!

[@sscottarnoldorg]

How do we configure the Intercom integration to show linked Intercom issues in the Linear issue activity?

[@LinearApp]

The Intercom integration automatically adds them as attachment links if you create an issue from Intercom, or link from Intercom. Otherwise you can add them by hitting CTRL+L in an issue and pasting the Intercom conversation URL.

[@0xtz_]

needed feature is : custom ticket step, the Todo in progress in review... we need a custom step in our team 😅 so itis possible to add this? like the projects section ?

[@mojito-ebf]

Yes it's possible. In Linear, go to preferences, choose your team in the bottom left, and workflow. From here you can customize all the steps, add and remove ones.

[@zkdkmn]

Just amazing !!!
Shut up and take my money !

[@TheJenilP]

Does linear have AI features like Notion?

[@LinearApp]

We have some minimal AI features such as AI help answers, or detecting duplicate tickets. The Slack integration can generate AI titles for your issues also.

[@khantsithu7354]

Is this notion clone?
