⚡ Why Gira?

Jira is powerful… but painful.

• Slow and heavy UI
• Too many clicks for simple actions
• Breaks at the worst time (standups 👀)
• Not built for keyboard-driven workflows

Gira fixes that.

It’s a minimal, fast, keyboard-first interface designed for developers who want to move quickly.

🧠 Philosophy

Gira was built out of frustration.

After years working as a developer (and Scrum Master), I wanted a tool that:

• respects speed
• prioritizes keyboard workflows
• removes friction from daily work

So I built it.
