It seems that Jira is so unbearably universally slow that lots of people tries to interact with it via some custom made tool. A friend of mine told that one of his jobs he developed simple internal Qt client to perform basic tasks in Jira. And when I was required to track my tasks in Jira I created a bunch of custom console scripts make all changes via https://github.com/go-jira/jira .

Yeah this is important for me. My work day is organised with Jira tickets, and we all know how klunky the Jira interface can be, so I installed one of the Jira cli clients[1] and it's invaluable. I can do all my ticket management from the terminal just as if I was working with text files. Editing or commenting on a ticket opens it in vim for me. I have a few scripts on top of the client to make things even easier like sprint to see tickets in the current sprint, jv to view a ticket, take to grab a ticket, transition to transition a ticket and slackscrum to push the tickets I've worked on today to slack for my scrum update.

Doesn't seem like a good move, when we moved back to Bitbucket cloud from Bitbucket server we lost many essential features and ultimately decided to move to GitHub. We do still use Jira Cloud but while the UI and search is better the performance is just awful. Note that they do have a good vscode extension that integrates well with the development workflow, creating branches for tickets, commenting and so on. I use it to see issues, get notifications in vscode for new bugs and transition issues. It's good for viewing basic text but poor for media rich content. I also use the go-jira unofficial cli tool written in golang which is just a joy to configure and use. It supports a templating system for creating new issues and custom commands to do all kinds of tasks. https://github.com/go-jira/jira Paired with GitHub Issues and PRs vscode exten

So this has gotten to the point for me where it is a big enough burning painpoint where I would pay for a service which provided passably fast versions of the web-based tools which I frequently have to use. In my day-to-day as a startup founder I use these tools where the latency of every operation makes them considerably less productive for me (this is on a 2016 i5 16GB MBP): - Hubspot - Gmail (with Apollo, Boomerang Calendar, and HubSpot extensions) - Intercom (probably the worst culprit) - Notion (love the app - but it really seems 10x slower than a desktop text editor should be imo) - Apollo - LinkedIn - GA - Slack The following tools I use (or have used) seem fast to me to the point where I'd choose them over others: - Basecamp - GitHub (especially vs. BitBucket) - Amplitude - my CLI - not being facetious, but using something like ht

tps://github.com/go-jira/jira over actual jira makes checking or creating an issue so quick that you don't need to context switch from whatever else you were doing I know it sounds spoiled, but when you're spending 10+ hours a day in these tools, latency for every action _really_ adds up - and it also wears you down. You dread having to sign in to something you know is sluggish. Realistically I cannot use any of these tools with JS disabled, best option is basically to use a fresh Firefox (which you can't for a lot of Gmail extensions) with uBlock. I tried using Station/Stack but they seemed just as sluggish as using your browser. It's probably got a bunch of impossible technical hurdles, but I really want someone to build a tool which turns all of these into something like old.reddit.com or hacker news style experience, where things happen under 100ms. Maybe a stepping stone is a way to boot electron in Gecko/Firefox (not sure what happened to positron). The nice things about tools like Basecamp is that because loading a new page is so fucking fast, you can just move around different pages like you'd move around the different parts of one page on an SPA. Browsing to a new page seems to have this fixed cost in people's minds, but realistically it's often quicker than waiting for a super interactive component to pull in a bunch of data and render it. Their website is super fast, and I think their app is just a wrapper around the website, but is still super snappy. It's exactly the experience I wish every tool I used had. IMO there are different types of latency - I use some tools which aren't "fast" for everything, but seem extremely quick and productive to use for some reason. For instance, IntelliJ/PyCharm/WebStorm is slow to boot - fine. But once you're in it, it's pretty quick to move around. Can somebody please build something to solve this problem!

I've found that phabricator seems to lack support for more complicated workflows so you end up having to hack together things using tags/workboards/milestones to mirror how your process works. This could be a positive though if you've suffered through really crappily configured JIRA projects. To phab's credit, the web UX of phab is more respectful than JIRA (10 second load times anyone? constantly (re)moving things) but I've used go-jira[1] for the past 2 years to great effect and there's simply no equivalent of that for phab. It could also be that I'm just stuck in my habits and don't like change - or the way my current orgs phab install is configured (I've never been a JIRA or phab administrator so I don't have much insight here) 1 - https://github.com/go-jira/jira

There are so many to list that I'll skip the more obvious ones (they're well represented in the comments) and pick a few that I've been enjoying a lot lately: Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira[0] - Jira interface written in Go that is incredibly flexible. bat[1] - cat with code highlighting climate[2] - Shell swiss-army knife of tools That last one deserves a post on its own. It's certainly not the most portable thing -- requiring that certain binaries be available for some of its functions, but it works as-is for the Linux distributions that I run and provide simple commands for getting information about things that isn't always trivial to remember (such as getting an external IP address of a host from the command-line). Silly things like remembering the CLI options for 'du' (along with the necessary '| sort ... | head -5') are replaced by 'c

limate biggest-files'. It replaces a mess of tools, but does so, often, by simply calling those tools with the "correct" parameters that I've forgotten. Yes, a well authored set of aliases for the most common commands would do the same thing, but I end up using 'climate' in cases where the information I need is something I rarely need for a given task and getting that information is going to be a non-obvious exercise involving a few pipes. It's a "kitchen sink" utility with a set of commands that, for the most part, you'd find a hard time grouping them into a single theme -- a command for getting the current weather (after all, it is named climate) next to one to download all files on a web page, next to one to get disk usage stats in a variety of ways. Normally, I don't like tools like this, but this one lands as a big exception to that rule for me.
