Sketch plugin to uploads designs to GitLab

Problem to solve

With the new Designs feature in GitLab, designers and others will be uploading bitmaps as designs, which can be commented on. However, designers who work in Sketch, must first export their images locally, then open GitLab, then open Designs, then upload them. This is a cumbersome experience with lots of steps.

Intended users

Designers who work with developers in GitLab.

Further details

The benefits would be a simpler workflow for designers uploading their designs to GitLab.

Proposal

Create a Sketch plugin that utilizes the GitLab API, to authenticate users, then to allow them to select the designs to upload, then the issue they'd like to upload them to, and finally to export them as "Designs". A good amount of discovery and research should happen first.

Documentation

Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
