I have been building a Jira Epic planning dashboard recently, and it forced me to question a lot of assumptions about how teams plan and track epics in Jira. I wanted to open this up for discussion because I suspect many teams run into the same issues.
Here are a few questions and observations I would love input on:
TrackLens is a tool that pulls your Epics and lets you manage them locally with a real-time Gantt view.
Tech Stack: React 19, Tailwind, Node.js (Proxy).
Key highlights:
🚀 Local-first architecture with instant performance
📅 Smart, non-destructive date autogeneration
🧠 Built-in RAG risk intelligence
🧪 Safe what-if planning with local edits
🌗 Dark and light themes
🔒 Privacy-first, no vendor lock-in
Stop fighting Jira’s UI.
Keep the database. Upgrade the view.
