Inspiration
I found Forge Quest while exploring new tech tools and wanted to try it because I had never used Atlassian Forge before. As someone who enjoys learning by building, this seemed like the perfect hands-on opportunity to try something
What it does
The app is a simple "Hello World" app that runs inside Confluence. When installed, it displays a message directly in the Confluence page using a custom macro. It helped me understand how Forge apps can be integrated into Atlassian
How we built it
I followed the official Forge Quest guide step by step:
- Installed and set up the Forge CLI.
- Created a new app using the Hello World template.
- Deployed the app to a Confluence site.
- Tested and took a screenshot showing it working in the UI.
Everything was done using the terminal and the provided
Challenges we ran into
- At first, I wasn’t sure how the
manifest.ymlfile worked. - I had to troubleshoot deployment when the app didn’t show up at first.
- Understanding where and how to take the screenshot in the “purple zone” took a bit of trial and error.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- I successfully completed my first Forge app.
- I now know how to use the Forge CLI and deploy apps in Confluence.
- I followed through the full challenge from start to finish on my own.
What we learned
- How Forge apps are built and deployed.
- How to use the Forge development environment.
- The basics of app integration inside Confluence using custom macros.
What's next for Forge Confluence Quest
I’m excited to try the Apprentice level next. I want to build something more interactive—maybe the Jira Issue Panel or Weather Gadget App. I’m also curious about building apps that can improve productivity for teams using Atlassian
