Filters make no sense? You craft the filters, so if that makes no sense it’s because you didn’t craft the right thing. What flow? It’s a task management software, not a traffic system. I don’t want it manipulating the flow of anything. It provides swimlanes and that’s more than enough for me. I can move any task anywhere at any time which is exactly what I want out of a software — for it to get out of the way.

> You craft the filters, so if that makes no sense it’s because you didn’t craft the right thing. That's where you've lost nearly all the people. Who in their right mind crafts filters. What does this even mean?

  "Filter artisans" I suppose. It is impossible to tell how many times I tried to filter out something in Jira only to have everything since before the times or absolutely nothing and needed to scratch that and go back to the defaults. Or hunt down the email with an exact link to the issue.

  Anyone who uses a search engine, tries to find an email, or generally deals with large datasets.

    No one "crafts" filters for the purposes of searching or finding an email. You use simple built in filters like "site:x" or "in: folder". There's no "crafting" or involved.

      You type in the word “site:”. That is crafting.

        That's not "crafting". And, additionally, the vast majority of people will never use (or even know) about this "crafting".

        Craft: “to make or produce with care, skill, or ingenuity.” It means to make something carefully, the same thing done when crafting a search query. That’s the way I meant it anyway. There is nothing particularly difficult about searching in Shortcut. You combine a set of available filters to make a composed filter the same way you search anything. The difference is that in JIRA, there are about 5 different ways to search and the operators are not always obvious.

        What it looks like is you keep defending a shitty UX/UI by trying to justify it with inapplicable examples. > You combine a set of available filters to make a composed filter the same way you search anything This isn't even remotely similar to "anyone who uses a search engine, tries to find an email". Which brings us back to the original complaint, quote: "It's filters make no sense." If you "have to combine/craft filters to create a composite filter that you then use to search", you've failed. In exactly the same ways that Jira fails at this task.

        I don’t care if you don’t use Shortcut. Use Linear instead, for example, since apparently a lot of people like it in this thread. I had never heard of it before. Main thing is, don’t pretend like JIRA is the only reasonable option because it just isn’t (not saying you were necessarily, but that is what I have a problem with people doing.)
