TL;DR: In Jira, Status and Resolution are different fields. Depending on your workflow, Jira may prompt you for a resolution… or it may not. That’s how teams end up with issues that are Done but still Unresolved. I shipped a small fix in imdone-cli...
Hey — quick New Year’s “resolution” for your Jira workflow 😄Ever notice how Done in Jira doesn’t always mean resolved?Jira separates two concepts:Status: where the work is in the workflowResolution: why the work ended (Fixed, Won’t Fix, Duplicate, e...
4:45pm Friday. You need that screenshot from three weeks ago. It's in Jira. Somewhere. You open 6 tabs. Check 4 different projects. Scroll through 20 comments. Download 3 files to check which one it is. 15 minutes later, you finally find it. By...
Hey, Jesse here with a super quick update.I ran the $9/mo personal plan experiment last week to see if price was stopping individual developers from trying imdone.The results were small but clear: a couple new customers signed up almost immediately,...
Last week I ran a small pricing experiment for imdone-cli and imdone desktop and told my list I’d share the results. These are the lab notes. If you just want the punchline: Dropping the solo price from $18 to $9 helped, but the real problems are...

Hey 👋Last Tuesday, I watched a developer spend 8 minutes looking for a screenshot.It was buried in Jira. Somewhere between tabs 6 and 12.When he finally found it, he had to download it, find it in his Downloads folder, rename it, and upload it to Sl...
Hey 👋Ever lose 20 minutes hunting for that Jira comment that explained why something was built a certain way?Or spend half your sprint context-switching between your IDE, browser tabs, and Jira just to understand what you're supposed to be working...
Hey folks 👋 — short post. I've been working on imdone-cli and imdone desktop, workflow tools that let you manage Jira issues as markdown files directly in your project repo. A lot of developers have checked out the pricing page lately, but no on...
Every week, I run small experiments with context-driven development (CDD), AI tools, and imdone - a tool I built that keeps your backlog right in your source code so you never lose context. This week, I'm putting Claude Code to the test on a real-wo...
"I was recently talking to a very experienced, very senior person in game development and I asked them, 'How would you make all of game development better?' and they said 'delete every Jira instance across gamedev.'" — Benjamin Carcich Th...
As developers, we've all been there – you're working on a feature, an AI assistant helps you implement it, but then your teammate has no idea what happened or why certain decisions were made. The context is lost, the AI interaction history is gon...
For years, I’ve been chasing one idea — keeping context close to the work. Whether it’s TODO comments, markdown notes, or tasks in the repo, my goal has always been to reduce the mental tax of switching tools just to remember what I was doing. T...
