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!
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.

Works great, sadly I’m not allowed to use Chrome at work…. Can’t believe Atlassian doesn’t already have a fix for this.
Made viewing boards with many columns MUCH better.
One bug: The Close Standup Mode button only works if you don’t click on anything else before clicking the button. If you click anywhere in the view or on a card and then close it, clicking the button does nothing.
I like the idea on this one. It doesn’t work that well with the latest JIRA cloud UI if you refresh the backlog view to make it update the first time you turn it on from there on an open tab, though.
On the backlog view: Enable just turns it on. Resize tweaks the width of the right sidebar, though there are limits to max size. Scrum view hides the sidebar and all of the filters, people, etc. at the top.
On the board view: Enable just turns it on. Resize tweaks the individual column widths, not just the right sidebar, so that’s a bust for me. Scrum view hides the sidebar and all of the filters, people, etc. at the top.
Doesn’t work for older instances of self-hosted Jira.
Idea is great, but sadly doesn’t resize the column headers on any browser I’ve used it with. The headers stay static and this causes a bit of confusion if you’re scrolling to other columns as the headings no longer line up.
When zooming in with the browser, Standup mode just causes the column header to jump into the middle of the screen and is unmoveable.
Ability to remove the header and resize the columns is great and as long you don’t zoom beyond 110 in Chrome or 140% in Firefox it works fine.
Also seems to work fine with other Jira improvement extensions
Super useful!
Much easier to read cards now!
Love standup mode!
Super Helpful!!
If you’re using Jira without this add on, you’re not using Jira correctly. Very helpful!
Great, simple modifications for use in standups. Love it
Atlassian should buy this extension for a disturbing amount of money and pull every feature into Jira core. Gr8 extension.
