tl;dr - reduce context switches between Morgen and Linear apps by changing the grouped-by properties in the sidebar via drag-and-dropping.
Currently, Morgen interacts with Linear in read-only mode except for due dates (correct me if I'm wrong).
This already does wonders. However, being read-only falls short of a more streamlined experience.
2 examples:
1) When the execution/completion time of a task arrives, I have to
Open in Linear
in order to change the state of the task.
Current UX path, after finishing a task (2 context switches):
  • Open Morgen (context switch)
  • Click on event, in task or calendar view
  • "Open in Linear" (context switch)
  • Change state
  • Close task tab
Proposed UX path, when grouped by State:
  • Open Morgen (context switch)
  • Drag-and-drop task to Done
Proposed UX path, when not grouped by State:
  • Open Morgen (context switch)
  • Show task info pop-up, by clicking on task view or pressing
    e
    after selecting on calendar view
  • Change state
The current UX path, when completing task A and starting task B, requires 4 context switches (task A -> Morgen -> Linear -> Morgen -> Linear -> task B), whereas the proposed UX path, when grouped by State, requires just 1 (task A -> Morgen -> task B).
2) When priorities need to be re-adjusted with time availability in mind, I have to switch between Morgen and Linear multiple times in rapid succession. You could imagine the current and proposed UX paths.
