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,...

Hey 👋Just a quick reminder — the End-of-year Dev Deal ends Sunday night (Dec 7, 11:59pm ET).If you want imdone-cli and imdone desktop for $9/month for single developers (normally $18), now's the time:👉 https://imdone.io/app/plans#end-of-year-dev-de...

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...

Hi there,This week, I ran an experiment that I think you'll find interesting: I used Claude Code (Anthropic's AI coding assistant) to build a real feature in imdone-cli from start to finish.THE CHALLENGEBuild multi-project JIRA support - allowing dev...

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...

Sync Jira Issues Directly to Your IDE Are you tired of constantly switching between your IDE and Jira? What if I told you that you could pull your Jira backlog directly into your development environment and work with issues as markdown...

The first time I asked an AI to “fix my code,” it gave me something that compiled… but made absolutely no sense. The problem wasn’t the AI — it was me. I hadn’t told it what I was actually trying to do, why the code existed, or what success even loo...

For years, Jira was the place my team and I went to find the "truth" about what we were building. The problem was—it wasn’t where we actually worked. Every update meant jumping from IDE → browser → Jira tab → back again. Comments got missed, attachme...

We’ve all been there. You open a file you haven’t touched in weeks and think: “What was I doing here?” Future-you is just another teammate — and if you don’t leave them context, they’ll waste hours retracing your steps. My dad, a precision sheet...
