Linear vs Skedda
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
Linear closes the loop from issue to shipped code, with agents doing the writing.
Linear has spent the past two months turning its agent from a planning aid into a coding participant. Code Intelligence gave the agent codebase reasoning, MCP brought in external context, Diffs added native review, and Coding sessions now let it write and ship code with Claude Code and Codex. The project tracker is becoming the place where work is also executed, not just coordinated.
The direction is unmistakable: Linear wants the full plan-write-review-ship loop to live inside its workspace. Each release this quarter has filled one gap in that loop, and the surrounding work (Slack/Teams channels, team documents, releases tracking) keeps feeding the agent more context to act on. Expect the boundary between Linear and the IDE/GitHub to keep blurring.
Next moves likely deepen the coding-session workflow visible in these entries: more review automation on top of Diffs, and tighter loops between agent-written PRs and deployment tracking via Releases.
Skedda keeps grinding out workplace-management depth across booking, check-in, and visitors.
Skedda is in a steady incremental phase, broadening its desk-and-space management suite rather than changing direction. Recent work spans finer booking-window priority rules, Microsoft two-way-sync approvals, in-app issue reporting, check-in analytics, visitor categorization, and finding colleagues on the map.
The arc is toward a more complete workplace-experience platform: not just booking space, but reporting on whether it gets used (check-in insights), managing who comes in (visit types, issue reporting), and tightening Microsoft-calendar interoperability. Each release fills a gap an office admin would otherwise feel.
Expect continued buildout of analytics and admin controls around occupancy and visitor flows, with deeper Microsoft 365 sync as a recurring theme.
