SIT: SCM-agnostic, file-based, immutable issue tracker (early preview)

It would be great if this was the backend for a UI like JIRA or even Jupiter (that is, literate bug tracking). It is a great frustration that dev artifacts are separated from the code. Code migrates to different groups, without access to JIRA/etc, and understanding is lost.

I share this exact sentiment about decoupling and this is why I developed SIT.

I was thinking that eventually a sync tool can be developed for SIT to pull/push from GitHub/JIRA. It's probably won't be perfect, but a good stopgap measure.

Not sure if your idea is feasible for some of the bug trackers (if there's a custom issue database plugin, one can try!), but it is a great idea nevertheless.

Also, I am playing with some ideas on building a web UI to this tool (both local-running and eventually externally facing one as well)

I think having an external data plugin interferes with the business model of Atlassian -- one database to rule them all. But ecologies like Jupyter might be different.

Great work.
