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:
π Local-first architecture with instant performance
π Smart, non-destructive date autogeneration
π§ Built-in RAG risk intelligence
π§ͺ Safe what-if planning with local edits
π Dark and light themes
π Privacy-first, no vendor lock-in
Stop fighting Jiraβs UI.
Keep the database. Upgrade the view.
