Nice work!

Back in 2014, Atlassian had a similar project called 'Coathanger' to tightly integrate Confluence and JIRA. If I remember correctly you would highlight some text in a Confluence page and convert it to a JIRA issue. I don't think you could edit it again so it's nice to see that yours syncs back and forth.

Curious if you used the Confluence feature in the past but prefer Notion for a wiki or if you just came up with this idea is some other way.

Thanks for the feedback! We're excited about the 2 way sync as well since we want to prevent divergent sources of truth.

We've used Confluence in the past. We're designing Fable specifically for the use cases that product teams have - we're hyper focused on two for now. One is the workflow of collaborating on user stories/requirements and the other is tracking decisions made during the product development process.
