JIRA is the slowest website I use in current year. If it was a consumer site like Youtube or Twitter, I'd long stop visiting. You can feel the gears slowly turning whenever you click something. When I click the wrong button I get that pang of anxiety like you used to get when you accidentally opened Photoshop back in the day and had to wait the 20 seconds for it to load.

Creating a ticket in Jira is a pain I try to avoid. I've never seen a worse UX for something that simple. I hate it with passion, and my computer does too, always spinning up cooling fan. Then I create it, and of course the formatting us fucked up. Every single form has a different flavor. Preview shows something else to what will show after submit. You press edit and you see a completely different syntax. One couldn't make the experience so bad even if they tried.

I'm leading implementation of a software up at a remote arctic mine site (geostationary satellite internet) and have to manage our issues on the vendors Jira implementation. It takes about 5 minutes to load the site the first visit. It's dreadful.

Can you use JIRA APIs through Postman instead of UI in your case? It won't be super convenient but at least it would be faster I suppose.

Nah, Slack is way slower than Jira for me.

(Two super-slow things combine to make the ultimate slow thing - looks like the aquisiton makes sense after all!)

slack website or slack electron app?
