A prompt to build your own version of Linear

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Linear-style app, first version

Build a web app for software teams to track issues and plan projects. The main screen should have a project sidebar and a compact issue list showing title, status, priority and assignee. Clicking an issue opens a detail panel where I can edit its fields and description. Add a New issue button that opens a quick form. Let me filter by project and switch between the issue list and a board grouped by status. On the board, let me move an issue to another status. Add keyboard shortcuts for creating an issue and focusing search. Use a clean dark theme, muted gray borders and purple accents. Include realistic sample projects, issues and teammates, with local saving for this first version.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Linear won't have

Linear keeps a team's existing work in one familiar place, backed by independent security audits and a team that maintains the product.

  • Your team's existing Linear history
  • Linear's independent security certifications
  • Linear's product maintenance team
