Built a Forge app to share Jira task status externally and I would love feedback

Built a quick demo video for the small Forge app I posted about a few days ago.

The idea is pretty simple: sometimes you need to share Jira project status with clients or stakeholders who don't have Jira access. Instead of sending screenshots or manually writing updates, the app generates a public link showing selected Jira issues and their current statuses.

After the feedback on my previous post, I realized I probably didn't explain the workflow clearly enough, so I put together a short video showing the actual flow from inside Jira to the shared external page.

I'm still trying to validate whether this solves a real pain point or if most teams already have a process they're happy with.

A few questions for people here:

• Do you ever need to share Jira task status externally?
• How are you doing it today?
• What would stop you from using something like this?

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, criticism, or ideas for improving it.

build a small forge app for sharing Jira tasks status externally

Hey everyone,

I recently built a small Forge app for a very specific Jira workflow.

Sometimes you need to share the current status of project tasks with clients or stakeholders who don't have access to your Jira workspace. Instead of sending screenshots or manually writing status updates, this app creates a public link that shows selected Jira tasks and their current statuses.

It's a very simple app and I'm still trying to figure out whether this is actually useful for teams or if most people already have a workflow they're happy with.

Here's what it looks like:

I'd love to hear:

  • Do you ever need to share Jira task status externally?
  • How do you currently do it?
  • Would something like this be useful?

If anyone wants to check it out, it's available on the Atlassian Marketplace; I can give a link in the comments.
