Forge Quest - Novice Level

• 

  Novice Level

Inspiration

Inspired by the need to customize Jira boards beyond the default features. As daily users, we wanted more control over the board interface and workflows without switching tools or leaving the platform.

What it does

My app adds a custom project page to Jira, allowing users to tailor their experience with additional insights or actions, all directly within the board environment.

How we built it

We used Atlassian Forge, leveraging UI Kit and serverless functions defined in manifest.yml. The project was deployed using the Forge CLI and built with a focus on native Jira integration.

Challenges we ran into

• Initial permission and deployment errors (EACCES, deprecated APIs)
  
• Adapting from UI Kit 1 to newer UI components
  
• Understanding Atlassian’s security and app model took time

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Successfully deployed a working app inside Jira
  
• Learned end-to-end how Atlassian apps are built and added to real products
  
• Overcame platform deprecation by adapting quickly

What we learned

• Building for Atlassian platforms using Forge
  
• Using serverless functions and declarative UI
  
• How apps are installed and used within Jira and Confluence

What's next for Forge Quest - Novice Level

I plan to explore more advanced integrations, move to Custom UI for richer interfaces, and build automation features triggered by Jira events to boost productivity.
