Issue tracker in IDE: track technical debt and codebase issues
Stepsize is an editor-first issue tracker for a healthy codebase. Create, view, and prioritise code issues, like technical debt and refactoring work, directly from your editor. Stepsize integrates with your existing tools like Jira, Slack, and GitHub, so you can track and address issues without context switching. Install the Stepsize VS Code or JetBrains extension.
