After being forced to switch from Jira to a much less capable system, I now wish nobody had complained about Jira. Grass is always greener.

I would much rather not deal with jira tbh. Some companies take it too far and use jira as a micromanagement tool.

Sounds more like some companies you’d rather not deal with then.

What motivated you to develop your own query and mutation hooks? Was there something unsatisfying with things like swr and react-query, or were you motivated to demonstrate/learn how to do it yourself?

I wanted to get better at writing hooks and working with hooks. Learning was one of the reasons for creating this in the first place.

That is as good a reason as any.

First, this clone looks very nice and worth trying if your workflow fits it. If this tool is still needing some feature you want, Do you run JIRA cloud? Jira by no means is perfect. It's one of the few tools that can handle complexity. I noticed a huge leap in JIRA speed in switching from cloud hosted Jira to self-hosting. On Cloud, Atlassian is mischievous and aggressively optimizes and constrains the resources. If…

This may be so, but while I find the web app appalling, the mobile app is perfectly usable, so I am not sure it can all be the back end.

I suspect it's because the mobile app does a bunch of device-side caching and the web doesn't. Definitely their front end performance is nothing to call home about, I remember filing a ticket about slowness and being replied that 4 seconds to start painting the screen (not done loading) was "excellent performance" according to their metrics.

A bugzilla clone please. Jira is not designed to be used by software devs imho.

Jira is garbage. Its slow, clunky, and its UI doesn't lend itself to a providing users with a small learning curve. I'll take Asana over Jira because it's fast, simple, and has a low learning curve.

Creator of "Jira Clone" here. First of all I want to make it clear that this is just a showcase/demo product. It's definitely not something I'm planning to sell. Additionally, it's not even remotely production ready, and it's missing about a zillion features that would make it a full-fledged project management software. The main reason I built this was to have a good showcase for potential future clients. The second…

Missing a zillion features might not be terrible.

Fewer features sounds great. I personally loath Jira, and avoid using it whenever possible, but your clone looks really nice. You can improve 100x on Jira just by making it faster, simpler, and easier to use.

One suggestion: it looks too similar to Jira, you might want to change the design a bit so that Atlassian doesn't try to sue you or something.
