Introduction / Why use this app?
Simple Announcements gives you the ability to display announcements in your Jira Cloud instance. These banners can be shown on Jira Dashboards, Issue screens, and in Servide Desk.
If you're asking yourself why you would want to use this addon, the answer is simple:
It provides more advanced functionaltiy than the build-in Jira Cloud Announcmennt Banner.
Announcmennts in our app allow for more rich content, scheduling of announcements, more visuals, read receipts, and advanced permissions.
The built-in Jira announcement banner is much simpler.
To be quite honest: if you don't need the advanced features, and you're happy with the current Jira announcement banner, no need to proceed. Go have some coffee (or a beer) and call it a day :)
