No, we actually do hate jira. Having to open a browser load a heavyweight page and then fill out various fields on multiple forms on just to enter some text is stupid.
It would actually make it less annoying to use if it was some kind of CLI/TUI. Like in the old days of mainframes when you’d talk to a receptionist to schedule an appointment or register for classes and they’d be typing away on a colorful/neon terminals.
It doesn’t need to be vim like. But it definitely shouldn’t be what it is today —which is a tool for geriatrics and designed by literal clowns.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoThere are 3rd party jira CLIs, FWIW
- baal80spam 3y agoI know there are but frankly I would be afraid to use a CLI for the software I know is unreliable.
- doix 3y agoThe Jira API is pretty good, probably the only thing I can positively say about Jira. In a previous life I pretty much only interacted with it from the API. My workflow was: run script to automatically grab the issue I should be working on from a predefined JQL thing, create a new branch locally and spit the contents of the issue to stdout. I'd just use my email client to reply to comments. Also had a script that would parse my own format to create bugs/features with all the random extra metadata and I'd only have to write a title/description.
