Speakeasy is an extension mechanism for Atlassian products like JIRA and Confluence that allows users to customize them. Extensions can change the applications' behavior, save settings and data, and are shared between users. They are written using web standards and enrich the user experience without changing the core products. Users can install, enable, disable, and fork their own extensions.
