I hate Jira because it’s one of the slowest applications I’ve used since the i486 days and the UX is designed to force you to click across 3-4 different fields and modals to accomplish an action that should be one form.

It’s business software for business people that need to be guided through SOP because they have so many different workflows, not engineers that have streamlined work processes to reduce mental load on non-engineering work.

Would you be more inclined to use Epiq? It is instant, as every write is local, synced over Git. It is built with engineers in mind. I'm its author for disclosure.

That actually looks pretty incredible, including some features I never knew I wanted.

Unfortunately I work for a very large corporation and don’t have the pull to get something like Epiq brought on - but I am definitely going to evaluate it for my non-FTE work.

As a side note - it was impossible to find your project through search engines. I only found it by searching on github itself.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I need to get to the bottom of Epiq not showing up in search engines! It doesn't help that Skoda released a car model with the same name a month or so after :D. Totally understand the large corp dynamics!
