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…
jollyjerry on HNI was expecting more of the same old CRUD crap, but was pleasantly surprised. Good luck with it!
ct on HNIt'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…
mrphoebs on HNFirst 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

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…

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

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…

Beta invites
From 2 comments
Could we have invites?
antihero on HNYeah 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

petervandijck on HNNo 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…

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?
