What is Linear?
Linear is an amazing project management tool, which you can learn more about here. We personally use Linear here at Contrast and would 10/10 recommend to anyone building software.
What does the Linear integration do?
Once you connect, you can start linking pages and frames in Contrast to Linear issues. When you link a frame to an issue:
- The Linear issue will automatically populate with an image of the frame, helpful metadata, and a direct link back to that frame in Contrast.
- View all linked issues and their statuses directly inside Contrast.
