Can I actually do Product Discovery with Jira Product Discovery?

Wanting an obvious place to put my discovery questions.

Right now that seems like creating a Confluence page with those questions and linking it to the item in JPD.

I keep finding folks on Bluesky that I assumed I was following 🤷‍♂️

"Fluffy, thirsty towels are abundant at no added expense."
