Everything's a Bug (Or an Issue)

While we've only used it for a small size greenfield project with 5-6 developers, we have been very happy with the user experience of Linear [1]. It ties reasonably well into GitHub and have plenty other useful integrations. Notion among others. I imagine this would cover many of the author's needs, and I think it also support GitHub as IDP.

I've been forced to use linear a fair bit recently and I have to say it's a mess of client-side javascript that often gets itself into a weird state.

For example open five tabs, each pointing to a new issue. Then clicking on an issue in the current cycle will just show a blank page.

Or when accepting an issue from triage you might find it defaults to "subscribe to updates", randomly. Or you might find you're the owner of a new story for no reason.

The number of times I have to force-reload the website to "fix" things is uncountable. And the whole forced-workflow is unpleasant compared to how I prefer to work. I mean it's better than Jira, in most ways, but .. sometimes I wish to go back to server-rendered stuff even if it is Atlassian-speed, where it felt like your server literally was in Australia the amount of time page-fetches took to complete.
