Setting up a public Linear board is step one. Step two is making sure your users actually find it. The best public boards are embedded in the places where users already spend time—your app, docs, and marketing site.

Link from Your App Navigation

The most effective placement for a public Linear board is inside your product. Add a link in your app's sidebar, help menu, or settings page. Labels like "Feature Requests," "Roadmap," or "What's New" work well.

When users encounter a missing feature or a bug, they're already in your app. A link to the board at that moment captures feedback that would otherwise become a support ticket or go unsaid.

Add It to Your Documentation

Documentation is where users go when they're stuck. Add a link to your public Linear board in:

Getting started guides — "Can't find what you need? Check our public board"
API reference sidebars — Persistent link to report issues or request endpoints
FAQ pages — "See what we're working on" as an answer to common questions
Footer navigation — A consistent link across all docs pages

Developers especially expect a link to an issue tracker from documentation.

Feature It on Your Marketing Site

Your public Linear board is a trust signal. Linking it from your marketing site tells potential customers that you're transparent about development. Place it in:

Footer links — Alongside Privacy, Terms, and Blog
Features page — "See our live roadmap" as social proof
Pricing page — Reduces hesitation by showing active development

Use It in Support Flows

When a user contacts support about a feature request or known bug, link them to the relevant issue on your public Linear board. This does three things:

Shows you're aware of the issue
Lets them vote to surface priority
Subscribes them to updates so you don't need to follow up manually

QR Codes for Physical Touchpoints

If your product has physical components—hardware, packaging, events—generate a QR code that links to your public Linear board. Users scan it to report issues or request features from wherever they are.

Custom Domains for a Seamless Experience

Use a custom domain like feedback.yourcompany.com for your public Linear board. It feels native to your brand and is easy to remember. Tools like OpenIssue support custom domains so the board looks like part of your product.
