How Far Can Vibe-Coded Forge Apps Go in Jira?

[Mariia_Domska_SaaSJet]

Because “vibe coding” for Forge apps is becoming more popular in the Atlassian ecosystem, especially with tools like Rovo Studio in beta and AI Apps Builder for Jira, I wanted to go beyond the usual examples.

Instead of building another dashboard or report, I decided to test the boundaries of what a Forge app can actually do inside a Jira issue. So I built a simple Pixel Snake game as a Jira issue panel, using the app I work on: AI Apps Builder.

Here’s what the app can do:

• It runs as a Forge Issue Panel.
• It shows an interactive UI right inside the Jira issue.
• It tracks your actions as you collect pixels in order: 1, 2, 3, and so on.
• The game ends if you click the wrong pixel.

I generated the app from a single prompt on the first try:

Create a Jira issue panel called “Pixel Snake”. Build a simple Snake-style game where the player collects randomly appearing pixels in order (1,2,3...). If the player collects the wrong pixel, the game ends. Display current progress and “Start / End” button.

To be honest, I was impressed. I'd love to share this case with you and also hear your thoughts:

• Have you tried vibe coding Forge apps yet?
• Have you built Forge apps for fun? Or do you have a fun idea?
• Do you have any crash-test scenarios for trying out new products?

P.S. I also made a short video to show how my app works and how I built it:
