News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Karri from Linear here. Unfortunately we have been experiencing a DDoS attack the whole afternoon today, so the service is not optimal at the moment and the public website might be slow to load. We are actively blocking and mitigating the attack. https://linearstatus.com

Sidenote: While we had these issues, we decided to redirect our homepage to our website Figma file, where we shared iterations for the design and did a little community Q&A: https://twitter.com/linear/status/1580723933837332480)

I just want to say the app is amazing and my team loves it. Good luck mitigating the DDoS, and even under attack, Linear is faster than JIRA.

JIRA is a pretty low bar.

Congratulations! By “DDoS” you probably mean the “Hacker News effect” from hitting #1 on the front page.

And for that, congratulations!

If only... Coordinated botnet attack against our service that started some hours ago but fortunately we have been able to mitigate it through number of means and return service to users

I couldn't find a mention of it - but is there any plans or ability to self-host? I'm personally not a fan of keeping everything in the cloud. Also are there export options in the event someone wanted to leave the platform?

We unfortunately don't currently have plans to provide self-hosting.

Good luck Karri!

I am so glad that I picked Linear for my startup. You folks have been consistently responsive, helpful, and keep delivering features that matter. It’s been a delight after a decade of Jira and the gang.
