Two tabs, one job
I kept running the same loop: a bug fires in the tracker, I copy it into the task board, and the two drift apart by lunchtime. BugBoard exists to close that gap.
Bug trackers are great at telling you something broke. Project boards are great at organizing the fix. But between them sits a swamp of copy-paste: stack traces pasted into card descriptions, links that go stale, statuses that never sync back. When you are the whole engineering department, that swamp is your evening.
So I merged the two. In BugBoard, the bug report is the card. Call bugboard.critical(error) in your code and the bug appears on your board with its stack trace, severity, and an occurrence count that keeps itself up to date. Drag it to “Done” and everyone on the board knows, no second tool to reconcile.
BugBoard is intentionally small. I would rather do kanban triage, deduplication, escalation, and collaboration between a handful of people exceptionally well than ship a hundred half-features. That focus is the product.
Which means saying what BugBoard is not. It is built for freelancers, indie hackers and solo devs - plus the small teams they grow into - and it is not growing up into an enterprise tool. SSO, audit trails, compliance reporting, approval chains: the things that only start to make sense at fifty engineers are not on the roadmap, and leaving them off is what keeps the rest of it quick.
What I optimize for
Lightweight by design
Small enough to learn in an afternoon. Fewer screens, fewer settings, faster triage - because you do not have a tools team, you have a deploy to get out.
Signal over noise
Deduplication, occurrence counts, and escalation thresholds exist for one reason: so the alert you see is the one that matters.
Accessible by default
Keyboard-friendly, screen-reader tested, and readable in both themes. Every colour pairing in the interface is held to WCAG AA by a test, never to taste.
Built for solo devs, not org charts
Seats are part of the price: each BugBoard tier includes a set number of members per project. Flat monthly, never per head - so bringing in a collaborator is a decision, not a purchase order.
Sound like your kind of tool?
