Setup guide

1. Linear: Create a free Linear workspace and set up one project for your product. Add cycles (1–2 week sprints) and put your current to-do items in the backlog. Use the inbox view to triage new ideas and the active cycle view to see only what you're working on this week. (open)
2. Notion: Create a Notion page as your project home. Add child pages for: product spec, architecture decisions, and a change log. Link each Notion doc to the relevant Linear project so context lives alongside the work. (open)
3. GitHub: Install the Linear GitHub integration from Linear's Settings → Integrations. Once connected, mentioning a Linear issue ID in a commit message or PR description automatically updates the issue status, keeping your board in sync with your code without manual effort. (open)
