A web app that pulls Linear cycle metrics and generates exportable sprint-health reports and velocity trend charts for engineering managers who need stakeholder-ready output

Linear deliberately omits time tracking and has no native export for cycle analytics beyond what shows in its own UI. Engineering managers who need to present sprint velocity, cycle time, and throughput trends to executives or investors must screenshot Linear dashboards or re-enter data into spreadsheets. Linear's product philosophy ('building what customers need, not just what they ask for') means it actively avoids scope creep into reporting layers. Third-party time tracking integrations (Harvest, TrackingTime, Everhour) capture time per issue but generate separate invoicing-oriented reports, not sprint health summaries aligned to Linear cycles. The HN comment on item 39324169 (Feb 2024) flags that Linear's lack of custom fields and reporting depth is a genuine deal-breaker for some teams. The product: a reporting companion that connects via Linear's public GraphQL API, reads cycle/sprint completion data, computes velocity, scope change rate, and lead/cycle times, and exports one-click PDF or CSV summaries formatted for executive review. Also posts Slack digests at cycle close.
