When we chose Jira, one of the points that was made was: If we decide to leave Jira, there will almost certainly be an importer from Jira to the new system. Which does seem to be true. We came to Jira from Fogbugz, and I spent the better part of a month writing tools to import our tickets and wikis. Jira had a Fogbugz importer, but it was horribly broken.
Looking at Linear, there is no such escape hatch, or indeed, searching the docs I saw no "export" or "backup" capability at all.
You're right we need add a page in the docs. It was only mentioned in few pages in passing. For now I added a section here until we can make a full page about it: https://linear.app/docs/workspaces#export-workspace-data
If you are looking anything else hit cmd+k to search the docs.
1. It's snappy. Moving between issues and views is a breeze.
2. The UI is extremely functional and consistent.
3. Great keyboard shortcuts!
Using Jira felt like having brain fog, and Linear is such a relief after that experience.
