Overview

Much needed interface improvements for Jira

Ever wished that large Kanban boards could not be squished? Now you can set your own custom Column width for all of your cards on all of your boards. ~And what about that "Detail View"? Wouldn't it be cool if you could resize it to whatever size you wanted it to be with a simple drag of your mouse? Now you can! “Better JIRA” unlocks your productivity, getting the software out of your way and into the background where it belongs!~ JIRA added this feature so we no longer need to add it! Also including "Standup Mode" that removes all of the clutter to keep your Standups focused and to the point! Features: * Horizontal Scroll of Kanban boards * Resizable Cards on Kanban boards * Resizable Detail View (removed, this is now a default feature in JIRA) * Open Github Links in a new tab * Standup Mode that clears out the clutter of side navigations **Note**: Access to all sites is requested to allow this plugin to work on JIRA instances that are not hosted by Atlassian, this extension only runs on JIRA instances. |------------------ | Updates |------------------ 8/30/2022 * Updated Stand Up mode button to match JIRA design system * Updated column width to auto-update when changed * Fixed header and column width resizing issue * Make Stand Up mode more compact (no breadcrumbs, make column headers bolder with less padding). 9/2/2021 * Fixed an issue with the Stand Up mode and the new JIRA React components 8/23/2021 * JIRA Updated the board so scrolling was broken, fixes this issue. 8/2/2020 * Update the resizing to work better with the new React components in JIRA. 12/3/2019 * Remove Detail View Resizing, it's now a default feature in JIRA. 5/7/2019 * Fix a bug with a conflict in the JIRA admin 1/2/2019 * Open *all* Github URLs in a new window * Fix Create Pull Request Github link to compare selected branch against master by default 12/18/2018 * Open Github URLs in a new window * Fix Standup Close button not working after a column resize * Fix Standup Close Button not displaying correctly in Firefox 12/17/2018 * Improve Startup Speed * Add Config Page Column Resizing * Add "Close Standup Button" * Remove strangely styled "Done" Column, this was a feature that was never finished * Remove `keydown` listening during Standup Mode (this was intended to make walking the board easier) 6/11/2018 * Set up to work for *any* URL, not just atlassian.net * Fix column resizing when using the left navigation to browse to different boards 10/19/2017 * Remove event listener when Standup is off * Remove Standup Instructions from the page when Standup is off 10/18/2017 * Added Filter Bar back into Standup Mode (it makes a lot of difference in the "New JIRA Experience" * Improved load time and tightened up the code * Fixed a bug where Standup Mode could not be toggled 10/12/2017 * Public release!! Better JIRA is now available through the Chrome Web Store! * Removed visual styles (borders) for resizing the Detail View * This was a tough decision because I like to call out that resizing is now possible, but it is better to make the resizing “entirely seamless” than to have a border displaying and hiding every time that you hover of the detail view. 10/10/2017 * Bugfix to allow Resizable Detail View on Retina Screens 10/9/2017 * [beta] Add support for Resizable Detail View (in New JIRA Experience also) 10/9/2017 * Make Detail View width percentage based 10/7/2017 * Style Popup (working on branding) * The "Quick Load" functionality will now respect “enabled/disabled” * Add the ability to close the popup with an "x" * Set Enable/Disable as a 1-click event, as opposed to submitting the form * Add support for the "New JIRA Experience" 9/22/2017 * Added the ability to "walk" the columns using Shift + ←/→ * Made the load time faster if you have loaded the same page already * Made the Enable/Disable function work for all styles 🎉 9/21/2017 * All new Standup Mode removes all of the clutter for more focused Standups * Fixed a JIRA bug where when scrolling vertically, the column headers would overlap the left sidebar

Is it possible to make it work with cross-project board like : `https://<company>.atlassian.net/jira/people/712320:4031e64e-e155-4537-95c8-a0f24a3f8598/boards/192/`? It will be really helpful.

Was great. But is broken as of now, does not remove any header and resizes nothing, AFAICS. So needs to be updated, to become that great plugin it was.

This has been great, but as of Chrome 92.0.4515, this breaks vertical scroll.
