Show HN: Two-way Jira sync in a collaborative spreadsheet and Gantt
Hello HN, Our startup nearly died 2 years ago. We kept losing
customers to spreadsheets. And it made us see a problem right under
our nose: everyone just wanted flexibility & speed from a
spreadsheet. But they have to stay in sync with {Jira / Salesforce
/ insert SaaS app}. When we followed this thread, we discovered
how broken the integration experience was for flexible products
like Airtable, Smartsheet, Monday, and Google Sheets. Their big
problem is that they transform external data into their own format.
This makes setup harder, since you have to get the mapping just
right. And often you can't sync back. We took a different path
when building Visor. We essentially made a data lake & ETL tool
with a front-end. Visor integrates with your Jira instance, reads
its schema, helps you import the right data, and lets you work in a
flexible spreadsheet* that syncs both ways. There's also an
interactive Gantt & Timeline view. *Spreadsheet is a generous term
for now. Formulas are still on the roadmap. As are many true
"spreadsheet" features. But we're working towards it. Our roadmap
is public, here: https://support.visor.us/visor-roadmap And for
VueJS devs, we eked out more performance from Vue 2 by modifying
the core, documented here:

For database geeks, you might enjoy learning about the realtime
graph DB we built to power the product:
https://blog.visor.us/cloudstore-part-1/ I've seen so many great
companies start out by launching on HN. It's quite a special
personal moment finally to be sharing with you all. I'm happy to
answer questions, take criticism, and generally hear what you
think.

| We haven't really tried CloudStore + other frameworks. That
| would be a fun experiment to try next. :)
