The Stack
The three tools we rely on every day to plan, design, and build. No extras, no filler.
Plan · Project Management
Linear
The issue tracker built for modern teams
Fast, opinionated, and built for teams that ship. Linear strips away the noise and keeps your team focused on what matters.
- AI-powered workflows that auto-triage, label, and assign issues as they come in
- Cursor integration lets you assign issues directly to your AI code editor and get PRs back
- Cycles and project tracking that actually match how real teams ship software
- Keyboard-first design makes it the fastest project management tool to navigate
- Automations handle the repetitive stuff so you can focus on building

Design · Interface Design
Figma
The collaborative interface design tool
Still the best pure design tool out there. Nothing else comes close for interface design, prototyping, and design systems.
- Auto-layout and component variants make building design systems painless
- Real-time multiplayer means your whole team can work in the same file without conflicts
- Dev mode gives engineers exact specs, code snippets, and asset exports in one place
- Massive plugin ecosystem for everything from content generation to accessibility checks
- Prototyping with smart animate and variables lets you test interactions before writing any code

Build · Code Editor
Cursor
The AI-first code editor
Chosen over other AI dev tools because it gives you full control. You can prompt your way into working prototypes and run them locally to test and iterate.
- Full VS Code foundation means every extension, keybinding, and setting you already use just works
- AI understands your entire codebase, not just the open file, so suggestions actually make sense
- Tab completions predict multi-line changes and get it right surprisingly often
- Agent mode can scaffold entire features from a description and iterate on the result
- More customizable than locked-down AI tools, so you stay in control of what gets generated
