Why Forthix?
Unlike single-purpose apps that solve problems in a fixed way, or low/no-code solutions that let you build simple solutions that address 80% of your problem, Forthix lets you start with Jira-based solutions that have solved real problems at real companies like LinkedIn for years. But what makes Forthix special is that we allow you to tweak these apps for your exact needs using concise, tweakable Forthic code. This ability to fine tune your apps to solve your exact problem is something we’ve done for years across a wide variety of functions: SRE, Information Security, Trust, Data, IT, Sales Operations, and more.
How does it work?
All of the Forthix apps are built using a concise language called Forthic that runs directly on Atlassian's Forge Platform. This means you can tweak your apps to make them behave any way you like. That’s why we developed Forthic in the first place – to solve the problem of customizing hundreds of tools in a cost-effective way at LinkedIn.
The apps in Forthix were hand-selected based on their impact and popularity when solving real problems on real teams. We’ve taken the best features from all variations and have generalized them so they’re a great starting point for solving the problems you face.
