Alternative Jira UIs?


Especially on the “Backlog” view, eventually my M2 Mac starts to just crawl as I’m moving stuff around and trying to plan my team’s next sprint. I’m using Safari. Any workarounds or alternative frontends that are faster? Sadly using Jira was not my choice.

I've heard good things about JiraCLI → https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli.

I hate Jira but work insists on it. I found a tool called Unito that syncs Jira with Trello and a bunch of other stuff. That's let me stay on Trello.

Perhaps something like that would work for you?

There's a sync tool with Linear, which is like Jira but simpler and much much faster.

Use Jira's API and automate it using scripts?

I’ve interacted with Jira via Emacs in the past, though as an IC not an EM or PM, so the work was light

Route everything to email. Use your email to interact instead.

Try Chrome and see if it’s faster there…?
