Inspiration

I wanted to enable users to be able to create markdown files right within their issues ticket. This could help them in e.g documenting steps to follow to solve the issue or what the issue entails/ was caused by.

What it does

Users are able to create markdown files within their Jira issues ticket.

How we built it

Since I have never used Forge before, I followed the official documentation at developer.atlassian.com to get started. I the saw the need to include a React app within the application and after some research I was able to achieve this.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Customizing forge buttons e.g changing color.
  2. Getting and adding forge official icons.
  3. Adding e.g favicon images to the forge app. This was solved by uploading the favicon.png to public AWS S3 bucket then accessing the link via the app.

What we learned

I learnt how to implement react app within a forge application.

What's next for Readme Markdown

  1. Enable editing of the markdown files.
  2. Add ability to download and export the created markdown files.
