Hey 👋, Some releases are about one big feature. This one is about a few smaller breaks that add up when you're actually using the workflow. If you're using imdone to keep story work close to the code, those breaks matter. ...
Hey,The old free limit on imdone-cli had a problem.It often stopped people before they got to the real value.You could see a little of the workflow, but not enough to know if working with Jira or GitHub issues in your repo actually fit the way you wo...
There’s a moment I’ve seen over and over again on software teams. You’re in the code. You need one detail from the ticket. Then you need a comment. Then an attachment. Then the latest decision from a thread somebody forgot to copy back. Now the wor...
TL;DR: AI tools can only help with the context they can see. If story intent is scattered across Jira, Slack, docs, and memory, humans and AI both have to rebuild it. I wrote about using the backlog as shared working memory so teams can resume work w...
Hey 👋,One thing has been bothering me about AI-assisted workflow tools for a while:They can help you think clearly in the moment, but they still make you rebuild context the next day.You have a great planning and development session.You refine the s...
Hi ,Teams often lose momentum for a reason that is easy to miss:the work is not necessarily that hard, but the context around the work is scattered.The task is in Jira.The decision is in a doc.The latest implementation details are on a branch.The AI...
I don't think most teams are slowed down by lack of effort. I think they're slowed down because the context for the work is scattered. The task is in Jira. The decision is in a doc. The code is on a branch. The AI prompt that explains the reasoni...
It's demo day. Claude Code knocked out the data layer migration in two days. So the team pulled in more backend work—cleaner API contracts, better abstractions. Might as well use the time. The product manager asks: "So what can users do now that t...
The Problem: You're deep in flow. You need to update a screenshot in a Jira issue. Now you have to: Stop what you're doing Find the issue in your browser (which tab was it?) Scroll to attachments Upload the new version Delete the old version Try...
Every week, I run small experiments with context-driven development (CDD), AI tools, and imdone-cli - 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 cri...
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...
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...
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 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...
