A simple Forge app that helps developers quickly create and deploy custom Atlassian Cloud apps, offering a safe, minimal setup to extend Jira, Confluence, and more.

Comment

Inspiration

The Hello World Forge App was inspired by the need for a simple starting point to explore Atlassian Forge’s capabilities and help developers build secure cloud apps with minimal setup.

What it does

This app demonstrates how to create, deploy, and run a basic Forge app that extends Atlassian Cloud products like Jira.

How we built it

We used Atlassian Forge, leveraging its CLI and development platform to build and deploy the app with just a few lines of code and configuration.

Challenges we ran into

We faced initial challenges in setting up the Forge environment, understanding permissions, and configuring the manifest for cloud apps. We also ran into frequent errors while using forge tunnel, which made testing and debugging slower.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully built and deployed a working Forge app, gaining hands-on experience with the platform and laying the groundwork for more advanced apps.

What we learned

We learned how Forge simplifies cloud app development for Atlassian products, including deployment, security, and integration with Jira and Confluence.

What's next for Hello World Forge App

We plan to enhance the app by adding custom UI components, integrating with Jira APIs, and exploring more advanced Forge modules.
