hub20.frontend.app VS jira

Last I checked, Bourbon was a bit too low-level for what I wanted. It didn't have implement any type of design system but just gave some basic utilities for those that wanted to build one.

What I want is more-or-less what I started doing on https://gitlab.com/mushroomlabs/zenstyles. I took some of the code from materialize.css and stripped it from anything that depended on javascript and anything that required a specific layout definition. Basically, I wanted something that could work as a "classless CSS" that used the basic building blocks from materialize.css, so that I could use with code that was based on headless-ui components.

This approach let me, e.g, use my hub20 checkout component (vue.js) without any styling on its own and let people integrate whatever "theme" they wanted. I only got to implement 2 "zen styles" following this approach (the other is on https://github.com/mushroomlabs/hub20.frontend.app/tree/mast..., and one day I will get to extract it out and move it to the "zen styles" repo) but it was enough to prove to me that this approach was not only possible but made my work a lot easier.

The API and the search are probably the only positive things I can say about Jira. JQL is probably peak issue-tracker searching, I don't see how it can be improved. Maybe in 5 years from now LLMs can accept arbitrary input and find what I'm looking for, but until then, JQL is great.

Also I thought API is great, or at least the community python package is[0]. It's probably the best experience I had integrating with an issue tracker.

FWIW, I used it in a semiconductor company that used it to manage work on their ASICs, so things were fairly heavily customized and there were over 100k tickets.
