Show HN: Alignear – Client communication layer for Linear teams

As a freelancer, keeping client communication organized outside of messy email threads is always a challenge. Integrating this directly with Linear makes a lot of sense. Quick question: Does the client need to create a full account to reply, or can they access the portal via a magic link?
For each client, we generate a magic link, eliminating the need for clients to create new accounts. Onboarding new clients on a new platform can be a cumbersome process so we ditched that step
The issue isn't access — clients don't need to be in Linear. The issue is translation. Linear data is internal by nature, and turning it into something a stakeholder actually understands is tedious work that falls on someone every sprint.
Alignear sits on top of your Linear workspace and handles that layer: - Automatic cycle reports generated from your Linear data - Custom reports with any filters you need - Secure client portal — clients open a link, no account required - AI agent inside Linear — tag @alignear in any ticket comment to capture tickets as meeting notes, more capabilities coming
Built this solo. It's live and working in production. Would love feedback from anyone who's dealt with this problem — particularly interested in hearing how larger teams handle client communication today and where the current solution breaks down.
