why, is something wrong with the jira web ui?

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.

Indeed. That's why I was transparent from the start. As I mentioned, using an API key this way is generally a bad idea. Even if I'm not a bad actor (which I'm not, but you shouldn't trust me), if someone compromises my server and forges requests, they could potentially access your projects. JIRA's OAuth implementation requires apps to be registered, involves public/private key pairs, and changes the auth flow. That a…

Wouldn’t that mean they could still exfiltrate it to another jira site they control?

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

Not satisfied with your IDE integration? There are some github plugins for nearly every IDE I can think of.

https://cli.github.com/ ?

The presented TUI is a full UI for simply browing Github, the Github CLI is not that. Notice how I can list with `gh pr list` but then will need to run a full new command to actually inspect the contents of those PRs. I think an interactive interface would be nice!

I think you could probably whip something very basic and crude up with fzf and the “—-preview” flag

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.
