Post Description

I built Alignear because I kept seeing the same problem: teams running healthy Linear workflows but still writing manual client updates after every cycle.

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.

Donor reporting dashboard with one-click PPTX export (React/TS)

The one-click PowerPoint export is the real selling point — it packages KPIs, timelines and qualitative stories into slides using pptxgenjs, which actually solves the tedious manual rebuild nonprofits hate. The repo shows care (type-safe indicator calculations, Vite chunking, tests), but to go beyond an MVP it needs robust templating, spreadsheet/connectors and a reusable data model for different orgs and donor formats.
