Qué es Linear Issue Tracking

Linear is a modern issue tracking and project management platform built for software engineering teams. Unlike Jira (enterprise, feature-heavy) or GitHub Issues (minimal), Linear hits the sweet spot, fast, beautiful, keyboard-native, deeply integrated with development workflows. You create issues, organize them into cycles (sprints), track progress with burn-downs, and sync with GitHub for automatic PR/issue linking. Linear's design philosophy is simplicity: zero configuration, beautiful defaults, keyboard-first navigation. It loads in milliseconds (built on Vercel's infrastructure) and feels responsive even on slow networks.
