  1. 1

    I built Bugsink because I wanted error tracking I could run myself, without maintaining a complex stack. It runs with pip install or a single Docker container, stores events locally (SQLite, MySQL, or Postgres), and is easy to run and keep running. It’s API compatible with the Sentry SDKs, so you can keep your existing client setup. Bugsink focuses on error tracking only and is fast enough to process millions of events per day on modest hardware. The 1.5 release introduces sourcemaps support: https://www.bugsink.com/blog/bugsink-1.5-introducing-sourcem... Can't you just…

    Telebugs▲391

    Hey hackers! In January 2025, I started building Telebugs. It's an installable error tracker that works with Sentry SDKs. I come from a Rails background and previously worked at an error tracking/APM company, so I figured: why not build my own? I wanted a simple, reliable tool I could own outright, without surprise bills for overages. Telebugs is built with Rails 8, Hotwire, TailwindCSS, and SQLite. Like 37signals’ ONCE products (my inspiration), it’s pay-once: prep your hardware, run one command, and you’ll be up and running in 10 minutes (5 minutes refers to the actual installation…

    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…

    Hey HN, bugstack started life as an internal tool for my other startup Fuelscout because my customers would encounter production bugs when I was away that would ruin their experience. When I went camping and came home to find out my internal tool had fixed an error and shipped it to production I knew it was bigger than Fuelscout, so my little tool became bugstack. bugstack monitors your production errors 24/7. When a user hits a bug, bugstack captures the error, pulls context from your repo, generates a minimal surgical code fix, runs it through CI, and delivers it as a pull request. If…
