Frequently asked

Sankofa vs Linear, answered.

Is Sankofa Plan as fast as Linear?

Yes. Sankofa Plan ships a local-first cache and an aggressive prefetch model, with sub-100ms navigation as the ceiling. The keyboard shortcuts mirror the model engineering teams already know.

Does Sankofa Plan have cycles like Linear?

Yes. Cycles, sprints, projects, milestones, and timeline views are all first-party. Vision adds an OKR layer on top of those primitives.

Can I self-host Sankofa Plan like I can't self-host Linear?

Yes. The same binary that runs Sankofa Cloud runs on your Kubernetes cluster, including Plan, Vision, and the rest of the platform. Linear does not currently offer a self-hosted edition.

What about Linear Insights for OKR / goal tracking?

Sankofa Vision is first-party OKR and roadmap tracking. Unlike Insights, Vision links objectives directly to Plan tasks and Deploy records — so 'key result on track' reflects what shipped, not what was planned.
