Wow. Really cool. I wasn't expecting something so polished.

JIRA speed drives me crazy sometimes, so a couple of months ago I decided to build myself a tool to do instant searches/filters on multiple projects right from the browser just to scratch my own itch.

I just wanted to see if I could have near-instant filtering. I think I got a pretty decent performance by using some JS tricks. I'm sure there might be ways to make it even faster.

Page is around 70kb (HTML+CSS+JS). Everything is manually crafted. I know the design won't win a beauty contest, but it does feel instant and works for my personal use-case. I had a lot of fun building this side-project.

There is a public URL, feel free to try it out [1]. Already mentioned in a previous comment in HN a while ago [2].

For the record, it uses a proxy because of CORS. Proxy is in few lines of golang. No NPM or any other framework used to make the project. In any case, if anybody is interested in the source code to run it yourself I'm happy to make the project public. Trusting a proxy on some random's guy on internet is probably a bad idea, given all NPM shit that happened yesterday, in any case, if you want to try, feel free, but use at your own risk :P

I desparately want something like this for Github.

I appreciate the value of the web browser providing the universal "quick" GUI (as in "I can open it on most devices and instantly interact"), but for power users I really wish more people were shipping things that helped out people not afraid to learn a bunch of keyboard commands

I am absolutely going to try this.

One question. Is there any way that if I click a JIRA link somewhere, like email or Slack, that it could open in the TUI instead of in the browser? I just can’t imagine that being possible.

This is cool. I'm not a fan of TUIs at all (poor man's GUI if you ask me) but anything beats the Jira website trash.

I will definitely be curious to see how much of Jira's abysmal performance is due to the website design (got to be a fair bit given how badly things like drag and drop perform) and how much is due to the server.

I do have some complaints about the Jira web ui (in particular it seems finding correct issues can be difficult), though maybe nothing too severe.

For me the most useful thing would be a cli tool (not tui) to just add stories. This way I could just write a bunch of stories in a text file (..or an .org file..) with the conveniences of my editor and upload them. Seems jiratui actually comes with some cli tools as well, but it doesn't seem this is yet included, or it's not just documented yet. I'll give a shot to this..

Now I'm doing that by copypasting the entries from the file, one by one, to the fields in the web ui, and not all of the fields can be copy pasted, and then updating also the file to have the correct issue ids so I can use them for finding issues with e.g. grep. Naturally this will only work for my stories, and won't synchronize with changes made in Jira.

Yes, back to Oracle Forms 3.0. Fastest and best versions of Oracle Forms, as long as you know the keyboard shortcuts.

I'd love to work with this. The normal web view is annoyingly slow. Too bad it is not compatible with Api v2 used by on-prem Jira instances.

I want this but for Linear

Looks great. How tied is it to Jira? How hard would it be to make it usable for Linear and Github Projects as well?

Brilliant. Really nice looking TUI. One thing I noticed is that I still find myself using the mouse to click the form fields. The keyboard navigation seems to sometimes get stuck on fields and I then can't move around anymore. Is there an easy trick for jumping between the fields?

Tried it; pretty cool, but I spent a long time crafting the perfect JQL query, just to lose it as soon as I closed the software. It might be nice to automatically save the search parameters as they are being submitted.

Ha, I love this!

I have something similar for confluence. I'm the only known user though, it's probably full of bugs.

Looks amazing! Does anyone know of TUI libraries for Rust or Go that achieve this level of polish? I've tried bubblegum, ratatui, tview but none of these seem to match the sleek, polished look of Textual.

I’m just commenting for the algorithm gods to promote this post - this is cool!!

It’s awesome! I wrote a TUI for Jira for my own use, with extra stats like average time spent on tasks and counts of issues or bugs per epic. But yours looks so nice and polished—thanks for sharing your work!

is there something like this for Asana, I hate their UI and UX. Their keyboard shortcuts are based off `Tab` key being a "modifier" which makes absolutely no sense.

Looks promising, but there's some limitations. It cuts off the list of assignees after a few hundred or so. JQL works though.

Tangential: I feel that CLI is in vogue again. Does anyone else sense that pendulum swinging again? Is it just me?

I've sensed for years from colleagues or blog posts etc a drive to go deeper and lower in the stack. I attributed this to the huge amount of front end devs who feel detached from the "real" stuff because of layers of frameworks. Not derisively, I think it's great. Even coworkers will express this to me.

This is what I suspect helped Rust skyrocket in the zeitgeist, too. It's got a lot of modern conveniences but it targets the more difficult areas like embedded, drivers, kernel, or performance critical code. And you can justifiably rewrite things (debatable but whatever). A way in!

I wonder if this is related?

Could be wrong on all this, of course.

I remember using bitbucket API to open and close taskwarrior issues. Good times.

Looks cool and unnecessary :)

Very cool, thanks! I'll give it a shot in the near future

I think the only thing it's missing is the board view.

This is so fantastic. I want something like this for slack...

Simply lovely, will try this out, thanks for sharing!

This is a very attractive TUI. Nice job!

very cool! is there a jira gui for efficient bulk management? does this TUI do it?

This is incredibly cool.

we need a TUI version of the AWS console :-)

why, is something wrong with the jira web ui?

good work :)

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.
