This may be a minority opinion, but I'm disappointed that so many core workflow apps like ticketing still living in the browser. Any serious programmer would scoff at the idea at their main IDE being within a browser, so why is it acceptable for a ticketing system, which is nearly as core to our workflows?
- novok 6y agoIronic thing to say, since for many, their IDE is visual studio code, an electron app.
- arcticfox 6y ago> Any serious programmer would scoff at the idea at their main IDE being within a browser Are you talking about just the browser chrome or the actual implementation? Because maybe it means that I'm not a serious programmer, but I love VS Code. The filesystem access issues make IDEs a bit different than issue trackers IMO, I don't have a problem with an issue tracker living in a browser, or being browser + Electron options.
- macspoofing 6y agoThere's no advantage to native-based issue trackers.
- haram_masala 6y agoMany issue trackers have APIs that let you use them from within IDEs, and often in quite powerful ways. JetBrains does this nicely with trackers like JIRA and the native one in GitHub.
- enra 6y agoWe recommend people to install the desktop app so it's easy to keep open. However, people still like the ability to easily link to issues, even if they don't have the app installed, hence the web browser support.
