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…

A bit off-topic: I checked out your personal website, and wow that's great! Design is simple and beautiful, copy is clear and to the point. Well done!

The whole point would be to not have a zillion features. Project management is to serve projects, not to become a thing of its own.

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.

What do you prefer to Jira? At a former workplace we used Gitlab, which was a pleasant suite to use. These days we use Atlassian and often find myself incredibly frustrated by their products

maybe dont call it jira_clone. People dont like installing something called a "clone". Brand it differently and build something really cool here

Call it simplified_jira

And stop adding features unless 90% of customer demands it. Sometimes it’s worth it to tell other people: you don’t need this feature.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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…

Mind the "What is this and who is this for" https://github.com/oldboyxx/jira_clone#what-is-this-and-who-... . Looks to me like the OP developed this to showcase his skills and get hired, not for production use by other people or with any intent of maintaining it.

I'm not one to tell anyone what to run in production or not :)

That's disappointing. I've always had self-hosted Jira and was hoping Jira Cloud would be more performant.

I've found ram is JIRA's friend.

One nice thing about the jvm is performance issues could be reaonsably tuned.

I have paid Jira way too much money for cloud, if I added up the 5-10s I wait for one screen to load at any given time.. It's likely a productivity hit.

Thanks for sharing! You've got some nice patterns and utils in that repo.

Random question: I noticed you switched from shorthand `, ` to `React.Fragment` elements. Did you have a need to use keys somewhere and decided to update them all to be consistent? Just curious.
