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.…

In plain words

Visor is a tool that syncs data between Jira and flexible spreadsheets or Gantt charts in both directions. It's designed for teams who want the speed and flexibility of spreadsheets while keeping their project management data synchronized. Unlike other integrations that transform data into their own format, Visor reads Jira's schema and maintains a two-way sync, eliminating manual mapping and data duplication issues.

After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor.
