While Lindie is a capable tool for creating public Linear boards, we found that for our workflows some critical features were missing. OpenIssue fills those gaps with full theme customization to match your brand, community voting to prioritize based on real demand, the ability to reply directly from Linear, and QR codes for physical marketing.
