Wow. Really cool. I wasn't expecting something so polished.
JIRA speed drives me crazy sometimes, so a couple of months ago I decided to build myself a tool to do instant searches/filters on multiple projects right from the browser just to scratch my own itch.
I just wanted to see if I could have near-instant filtering. I think I got a pretty decent performance by using some JS tricks. I'm sure there might be ways to make it even faster.
Page is around 70kb (HTML+CSS+JS). Everything is manually crafted. I know the design won't win a beauty contest, but it does feel instant and works for my personal use-case. I had a lot of fun building this side-project.
There is a public URL, feel free to try it out [1]. Already mentioned in a previous comment in HN a while ago [2].

For the record, it uses a proxy because of CORS. Proxy is in few lines of golang. No NPM or any other framework used to make the project. In any case, if anybody is interested in the source code to run it yourself I'm happy to make the project public. Trusting a proxy on some random's guy on internet is probably a bad idea, given all NPM shit that happened yesterday, in any case, if you want to try, feel free, but use at your own risk :P
By benbristow 2025-09-1023:021 reply Looks cool, but definitely a security team's nightmare. Putting an API key into some random HN'ers hobby project is a bad, bad idea, whoever you are (not saying you're a bad actor, but a zero-trust policy would agree with me).
By conception 2025-09-1023:27 Yeah, oauth would be better.
I am absolutely going to try this.
One question. Is there any way that if I click a JIRA link somewhere, like email or Slack, that it could open in the TUI instead of in the browser? I just can’t imagine that being possible.
By turtlebits 2025-09-1019:55 Its possible- you'd have to register a new uri handler to call the TUI (it'll need to take cli args to load the link/issue), then rewrite Jira links (tampermonkey script/browser extension) to use the new uri.
This is cool. I'm not a fan of TUIs at all (poor man's GUI if you ask me) but anything beats the Jira website trash.
I will definitely be curious to see how much of Jira's abysmal performance is due to the website design (got to be a fair bit given how badly things like drag and drop perform) and how much is due to the server.

Thank you, but we didn't! Btw, you said strawberry on those shakes, right?
By totallykvothe 2025-09-1023:51 Why the snark? It's a valid preference and he wasn't demanding anything.
By mwcz 2025-09-1023:07 The way drag and drop and most other updates block all UI interaction until the network response is infuriating.
