The object model is small: issues, states, labels, cycles, projects. A keyboard-first single-player tracker with a board, cycles, and one-way GitHub sync is a weekend build. What does not survive the copy is the sync engine, real-time multiplayer, and the integration surface (GitHub two-way, Slack, Figma, Sentry) that make Linear the place a team actually agrees on what is being built.

Build me a personal issue tracker to replace Linear. Requirements: - A local web app: Node + Express + better-sqlite3, server-rendered, dark, bound to localhost. One SQLite file I back up. - Issues have an auto ID with a team prefix (ENG-142), a Markdown body, a status (backlog, todo, in progress, in review, done, canceled), a priority (urgent to none), labels, and a point estimate. - Keyboard-first: c creates, s status, p priority, l labels, / searches titles, bodies, and comments with SQLite FTS5, cmd+k opens a command palette for all of it. - Three views: My Issues, a board with drag between columns, and the current cycle, a two-week window with a remaining-estimate burndown. On its last day, unfinished issues roll forward, done ones archive. - node scripts/sync-github.js (octokit, token and repo list in .env) pulls open GitHub issues in, keyed on issue number so re-runs update instead of duplicate. - Pressing b copies a branch name (me/eng-142-short-title) to the clipboard. - Comments and a per-issue activity log. No accounts, no telemetry, nothing leaves the machine except the GitHub calls. - Out of scope: multiplayer, mobile apps, and writing back to GitHub. Skip auth and deploy config, this runs on my machine. - README: how to run it, where the SQLite file lives, and the GitHub token scope.
