Introducing jira.el: Emacs integration for Jira

I've just publised my first Emacs package: jira.el: an Emacs integration for Jira.

If you have no choice but to use Jira, at least do it without leaving Emacs.

jira.el is an Emacs package that brings the "power" of Atlassian's Jira right into your editor. It lets you list, filter, and inspect issues, modify properties, and even add worklogs—all without leaving Emacs.

ℹ️ Status <2025-03-17 Mon>: Jira is already part of MELPA! 🎉

Key Features:

List & Filter Issues: Quickly view the issues assigned to you (or your team) and apply custom JQL filters.
Issue Details: Open and inspect detailed information about any Jira issue.
Modify Issues: Update properties and add worklogs directly from your Emacs session.
Tempo Integration: Seamlessly display Tempo worklogs to keep track of time spent on tasks.

jira.el combines a Tabulated List Mode-based UI, with Magit-like keyboard-driven menus, a combination loved by Emacs users.

Check out the jira.el documentation on Github for further details and usage tips!
