Zeplin Integration

I'm not sure how you'd technically make this work, but as a product manager I'm always looking for ways to better coordinate my feature definitions with the wireframes and high-fidelity comps produced by our design team.

We've really taken to a tool called Zeplin. It provides a great way to share visual designs with product and technical teams. You can check it out at https://zeplin.io/

Zeplin allows you to easily create a project from exported boards in a Sketch. It creates style and color guides, allows collaborators to comment on visual designs, end even provides sliced image assets for the development team.

Zeplin also supports deep links, so that I can reference a project or view by URL. In Aha! I've created a custom field on my features which I use to link to a Zeplin view.

What I'd love to see is some way to actually render a Zeplin view inside my feature definition in Aha. Uploading images is too onerous, and impossible to keep up to date when designs are changing. The link I'm putting in a custom field is helpful, but seeing it rendered inline with the feature definition would be so much more powerful.

    Brilliant suggestion. Design assets and considerations are such an integral part of requirements management and product these days and we also use Zeplin! Comments pulling through, the ability to add screens or assets without leaving Aha! ... I'll have a better think but support the idea!!

    I'd also like to see the ability to pull in the comments from Zeplin, as our requirements evolve from those discussions
