Inspiration

As an Atlassian consultant, I have the honour to meet lots of great people and discover from the front row how they interact together. I discovered that this was something I could work with, given the Codegeist Unleashed constraints!

What it does

It works in the background, performing text recognition on image files whenever they are attached to an issue. This information is available for searching issues, so it will enhance discovering patterns when the end user provides screenshots of error messages.

How I built it

Another Forge year, another opportunity to dive into the new additions and improvements of the framework. This year, I took the opportunity to try two new things:

Making use of the new Forge runtime
Building interface components with UI Kit 2

Challenges we ran into

My initial goal was to be able to perform the whole text analysis within the Forge framework itself. Unfortunately, I was bumping into many walls - which didn't feel that well. The layers of abstraction turn out to be harder to unravel when there are some issues.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I shipped the project! Now I would be in for a very limited T-shirt! 🤩

What I learned

The new Forge runtime still has some issues with some Node.js libraries, especially because of how the lambdas work. Debugging Network payloads is also something else.
