Shipped my first paid Jira app as a solo Angular dev with no backend experience, with a lot of help from Claude

Wait 5 sec.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/QQTIVaRwcxs Route Map for Jira maps your application’s pages in flow order and keeps the test data for each page in every environment, so QA and devs stop hunting for logins and test accounts. I’m an Angular dev with about 2 years of experience, and I’d never built a backend, an extension or a full product end to end. I leaned on Claude heavily: for research first, then Claude Code for most of the build. That’s the main reason a solo side project got from idea to a live Marketplace listing in a few months instead of a year. What I learned along the way: Forge’s jira:globalPage module isn’t offered as a template anymore, so I scaffolded from jira-full-page and swapped the module in the manifest. Getting verified as a sole trader to sell on the Marketplace took a support ticket rather than anything in the vendor portal. Atlassian currently takes 0% revenue share on Forge apps. AI got the code written fast, but deciding what to build, and testing it properly, still took most of the time.

Feedback on the product or the trailer is very welcome, and happy to share how I used Claude if anyone’s curious.   submitted by   /u/uudankhatola [link]   [comments]
