Inspiration
The original Apprentice-level task focused on displaying a single day's weather. While building it, I felt that having a broader view — like a 5-day forecast — would be more practical for teams planning ahead. That inspired me to enhance the project and make it more useful right inside Jira.
What it does
This Jira gadget shows a 5-day weather forecast for any selected city. It fetches live data including temperature, conditions, and weather icons, and displays each day in a clean, scrollable format. Users can view short-term weather trends directly on their Jira dashboard without switching tabs.
How we built it
Built using the Atlassian Forge platform
Integrated with OpenWeatherMap API to get the 5-day forecast
Used Forge UI Kit components to build a compact and readable layout
Displays each day's weather with icons, temperature, and description
Challenges we ran into
Adapting the UI to display multi-day data in a limited space
Mapping and formatting API data correctly to match dates and weather conditions
Dealing with timezone differences and API response alignment
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Extended the basic one-day weather idea into a fully working 5-day forecast
Made the layout clean and user-friendly using Forge’s limited UI options
Learned to build something practical inside Jira with real-time data
What we learned
Hands-on experience with Atlassian Forge development
Parsing and presenting external API data effectively
Structuring multi-day data into a compact UI
Importance of clear UX even in small utility gadgets
What's next for Jira Weather Quest
Add a toggle for °C/°F
Let users save a default city using Forge Storage API
Add small features like clothing suggestions or a “best day” highlight
Make the layout responsive and compatible with Jira dark mode
