What HN said

What people liked

  • Slick, simple design and a fresh approach to bug tracking

    From 4 comments
    • This looks really slick. avk and I were were planning on building bug tracking features into Outspokes, but we've stopped work on that project. Our original goal was to have a JS…

    • I was expecting more of the same old CRUD crap, but was pleasantly surprised. Good luck with it!

    • It's great, simple, elegant and gets the job done. The only issue I had was the missing pricing coupled with the 30 day trial thing. I think it would be great if you could…

    • First thought was 'oh good, another bug tracker...' I've watched the intro video and you now have my interest, looks awesome :)

  • Humorous copy and geek references appreciated

    From 2 comments
    • I got the joke immediately and thought it was funny. Reminded me of a comedic movie (who's name escapes me) who advertised the review "If you like movies like this, you'll love…

    • Not humorous? I laughed out loud. This is obviously work in progress, and presented as such. It's expected that some things will be dummied up, for all the usual reasons: the…

Objections

  • Unclear pricing and the 30-day trial discourage signing up

    From 2 comments
    • I understand that pricing is difficult to determine, but I think you'd have a lot more conversions/signups if you: (a) had an idea what the monthly cost was going to be, (b)…

  • Placeholder testimonials look misleading

    From 1 comment
    • It's not humorous, it actually bothered me. If you don't have testimonials, don't have a "testimonials" section! On a more helpful note: where are the screenshots?

  • Bugs tied to page elements may miss issues from heavy end-user use

    From 1 comment
    • I love how this works. But I'm worried about most bugs not being trackable by which div they're in. This would work if you're developing flat files for a customer that had access…

Requests

  • Beta invites

    From 2 comments
    • Could we have invites?
      antihero on HN
    • Yeah that's exactly what this is. We have a JS widget that let's you log and manage bugs right from your site so can do things like tagging and annotating dom nodes. Also…

  • Mac or iOS client for logging bugs

    From 1 comment
    • It reminds me of firebug+bug tracking. Very useful for websites. Is there going to be a Mac client so iOS devs can log bugs just as easliy?

  • Screenshots on the homepage

    • No apology needed, no offence meant by me either. (And: downvoted?) As for the screenshots: I much prefer them on the homepage instead of a video. Video takes time, screenshots…

Questions

  • How much does it cost?

    From 1 comment
  • How many developers work on it?

    From 1 comment
    • Looks cool. I might use it for a future project. How many developers do you have working in it? Do you have a dedicated designer or did you design it yourself?

  • BugTracker.NET with a Firefox screenshot add-on

    From 1 comment
    • Since your tracker is oriented towards web development, you might want to take a look at my work here, a Firefox addon for taking screen captures of a web page, marking it up…
