What is linear style minimal?

The Linear style comes from the Linear issue tracker, and many SaaS products now copy it. Dark background, small sharp text, thin lines and a lot of information in very little space.

It works because nothing is wasted. Status, priority, labels and people are shown with tiny icons drawn in CSS, so each row stays one line tall and easy to scan.

Good for

  • Project and issue trackers
  • Developer tools
  • CRM and inbox style apps
  • Any product for power users
