🥳 🎂 🎈 A milestone to celebrate

Wow!
Today, go-jira reached 1k stars 🌟 .
We are overwhelmed.

When I started the project in August 2015, I never imagined that this would be useful to someone. 6 years in, I was proved wrong.
This project is used by small and big side projects and various businesses rely on go-jira for their automation

We have created a small community that

• 👩‍💻 improves pull requests
• 🐛 fill bugs
• 👪 and help other people with code examples in our issue tracker

Thanks a lot, open-source lovers!
Without you, this project wouldn't have reached this point.

Thanks to @slashpai who was the 1.000's stargazer

The future of this project

Lately, there hasn't been much activity here.
That's sad, but that's also how is life and open-source.
However, we plan to revise the project and improve on the experience using go-jira.

The main focus points for the upcoming versions are:

• Clear separation between JIRA Cloud and JIRA On-Premise
• Support for auto-generated data struct fields
• Easier integration of custom-fields
• Flexible addition of query parameters for API requests
• Proper reliability (e.g. by adding context) and better debugging possibilities

In #200 we summed up a few other ideas.

We plan to create a proper issue board and roadmap soon. Stay tuned.
