why, is something wrong with the jira web ui?

It's incredibly slow and they keep shovelling crap at users: - You highlight text and up pops an icon to "Use AI to summarise this?" - You use a short-cut only to find that it has changed - And it is just generally really slow

You can also see how badly the state changes are handled. Some elements flicker on every new letter typed. (They broke it twice at least)

JIRA web eats all my memory on Firefox, so laggy that pressing a button takes 3 or 5 seconds, not to mention page transitions. It only becomes usable when I add the uBlock Origin rule[1]:

  yourcomany.atlassian.net##+js(aeld, /^(?:mousemove|pointermove|pointerout|pointerover|touchmove)$/)

I hate how Atlassian products hijack regular browser features and re-implement them in JS. When I open our Confluence page, it runs a bloated mess of 10MB of JavaScript. All of their WYSIWYG editors are terrible and I'm constantly fighting the formatting. Just let me input regular markdown already.

TUIs are usually the most snappy interfaces you can have. Pure bliss in comparison. To their credit, at least Atlassian provides usable APIs.

Unfortunately, Textual, the TUI framework this uses, hijacks the mouse and regular terminal and GUI features and reimplements them poorly in Python.

It breaks everything from text selection to copy and paste.

It’s not your usual TUI framework. I tried using it yesterday to implement a simple console app — the damn thing even uses CSS for styling.

This is a really cool project! I'd be curious if maybe a poweruser could become more productive using this as opposed to using vanilla Jira.

...I also wonder if Atlassian might try acquire this for 600M? /s

I still dont understand why there is no unified UI for a lof of ticketing systems, I'm so tired of popping into different teams and its a night and day difference between how things are configured.Just give me a kanban board.

Get your Jira admin to configure it as Kanban :)

Sometimes the org is so big, nobody wants to put any effort into knowing who the admin even is.

Nowadays I'm in ADO, I still want a unified UI for any and all ticketing systems that allows me a consistent UI regardless of JIRA or even ADO. I'm tired of so many different workflows that make no sense.

But they all claim to be scrum / agile.
