Daily standups for Linear were getting weirdly annoying for us.

Not because Linear is bad — we actually like it a lot — but because the standup part around it felt clunky. The same problems kept repeating:

• random speaker order / awkward "who goes next?" pauses
• too much clicking around to find the current person's work
• people talking while everyone else tries to scan the board
• standups turning into status theater instead of quick coordination

So I built a small Chrome extension for it: Linear Standup.

It adds a lightweight top bar to linear.app and basically runs the standup flow for you:

• randomizes speaker order each session
• auto-filters Linear tasks/issues for the current speaker
• lets you skip / go back / reshuffle anytime
• keeps the state while you navigate around Linear
• matches Linear light/dark theme

And yes, I also added a stupid/fun part on purpose: Pac-Man eats each teammate's avatar as they finish speaking. There's also a hidden fun mode easter egg if you long-press the Pac-Man during an active standup.

So it's half workflow helper, half making daily standups slightly less soul-draining.

It's fully client-side, privacy-friendly, and free/open source. No servers, no tracking, no data leaves your browser.

If you're a Linear team doing daily standups, I'd genuinely love blunt feedback on whether this solves a real annoyance or if I'm just over-optimizing my own pain.
