   Most users won't report bugs unless you make it stupidly easy▲335

   Most feedback tools are built like people actually want to report bugs. They don’t. Unless you make it dead-simple, or better yet - a little fun. After shipping a few SaaS products, I noticed a pattern: Bugs? Yes. Bug reports? No. Not because users didn’t care but because reporting bugs is usually a terrible experience. Most tools want users to: * Fill out a long form * Enter their email * Describe a bug they barely understand * Maybe sign in or create an account * Then maybe submit it Let’s be real: no one’s doing that. Especially not someone just trying to use your product. So I built…

    Automated bug fixing powered by LLMs▲9

    Hey everyone, My friend and I built a simple bug fixing app that listens for alerts/issues from Sentry, contextualizes it against your codebase, and any other data sources you wish to connect (right now we support Notion, Google Docs, and Slack), and deploys an ai agent to write a PR for review in Github or Gitlab to solve the bug. Our current demo shows the end-to-end process for a trivial bug fix, but we have been testing it with open source python repos like http-pie, comparing how our agent solves a bug compared to a human engineer and it gets fairly close.
