Linear vs Trello
Trello started first, in 2011, 7 years before Linear.
Why Linear lasted
- It made issue tracking feel like a product instead of a database with workflow.
- Taste as a moat: keyboard, speed, the way a status looks.
Why Trello lasted
- A board you can see across the room. The metaphor is the product.
- Atlassian bought it and did not fully Jira-ify the first screen.
