Inspiration
The driving force behind my project was the desire to enhance productivity and automate routine tasks within the Atlassian ecosystem. I’ve always been fascinated by how small tools and integrations can make a big difference in collaboration and workflow efficiency. The Forge Quest was a perfect opportunity to turn that curiosity into something practical and impactful.
What it does
It has basic UI and a simple backend which fetches data from the user using api renders it to the fronted also uses forge jira to identify the current theme.
How we built it
I started by identifying a pain point in project management workflows, then brainstormed how a Forge app could solve it.I mapped out the user experience and decided which Forge modules and APIs were needed.Set up the Forge environment using the CLI (forge create, forge deploy, forge install).Built the app using UI Kit components and connected it with Jira Cloud APIs.Implemented functionality such as custom issue panels, automation via web triggers, and data storage with Forge's storage API.Used the development environment and Atlassian-hosted testing instances to simulate real use cases and fix bugs.
Challenges we ran into
Some APIs and features were sparsely documented, which required experimentation and community support to overcome.Debugging in the Forge environment was challenging due to limited local runtime capabilities.Understanding and configuring the correct permission scopes for Forge apps took some trial and error.UI Kit offers a simple yet limited UI, so achieving certain interactive designs required creative workarounds.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Completed the first building block for the real world challenges coming forward.
What we learned
Participating in the Forge Quest was a valuable learning experience. Some of the key takeaways included: Gaining hands-on experience with Atlassian Forge, including its unique development environment and permission model.Understanding how to create and deploy Forge apps using manifest.yml, UI Kit, and Forge APIsLearning how to handle authentication, data storage, and event triggers within Forge apps.Discovering best practices for integrating with products like Jira and Confluence.
What's next for Anuj-first-quest-jira
Will try to scale it and make it capable to handle real world porblems
