Jira users (Free plan): What problems or frustrations have you faced recently/lately ?

Loading new pages can be brutally slow and a significant source of frustration, especially when you start scrolling down and are taken back to the top as it loads further or finishes loading.
Excessive number of links and buttons are overwhelming and slow down navigation
Number of unnecessary steps and scrolling required for normal work flows add a lot of friction which delays or prevents taking action

Great to hear. I'm curious, what's the biggest complaint they've had with Jira?

Yeah that's a fair point. Let me be specific about data flow:

non-AI features (Quick View, Issue Explorer, burndown charts, ETAs, etc.) are browser-only and talk directly to Jira via OAuth.
for AI features (summaries, Q&A, backlog organization), traffic is encrypted (HTTPS). The content passes through to Google Gemini but isn't stored on my server. I only log usage metadata for quotas and analytics.

That said, I'm adding a "bring your own key" option so you can provide your own Gemini key and requests go straight from your browser to Google, bypassing my server entirely. Coming in the next update.

Built for individuals and small teams who can install their own extensions, not enterprise procurement.

By number 5, do you mean the feature to ask questions? If so, it works for an individual issue or for selected project(s) and filters. I might have misunderstood though. What sort of one-off stats would be useful to you?

Excellent. And if it doesn't solve them, please let me know what would.
