Bugout.dev – Crash and usage reports for developer tools
Hello everyone, I’m Sophia, founder of Bugout.dev. I started off as a professional ballerina, and entered technology later in my working life - through the OpenAI Scholars program. My co-founder, Neeraj (zomglings on HN), is a mathematician and now programmer. When I was learning how to code I kept running into issues. I found Stackoverflow and GitHub issues hard to navigate, often leading me to outdated solutions to the problems I was experiencing. That experience made me want a product that would collect crashes and immediately let the creators of the software I was using know about the…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello everyone, I’m Sophia, founder of Bugout.dev. I started off as a professional ballerina, and entered technology later in my working life - through the OpenAI Scholars program. My co-founder, Neeraj (zomglings on HN), is a mathematician and now programmer. When I was learning how to code I kept running into issues. I found Stackoverflow and GitHub issues hard to navigate, often leading me to outdated solutions to the problems I was experiencing. That experience made me want a product that would collect crashes and immediately let the creators of the software I was using know about the issue. And when they or their community had fixed the issue, they could notify me about that and direct me to a public site detailing the solution. Over time, this idea evolved and resulted in Bugout.dev. Bugout makes it easy for creators of developer tools to collect usage metrics and crash reports from their users. This applies equally well to libraries, command line utilities, and APIs. We're advocates of ethical data collection, and all reports are collected with clear user consent. Maintainers can also comply with GDPR requests for access and deletion with a single API call each. We are also building a public knowledge base of issues and solutions from open source projects. We were inspired by rustc error messages in this and how they point users to documentation that can help you resolve compiler errors. Projects integrating with Bugout can link users to the knowledge base using a search query, which allows them to direct users to solutions customized to operating system, library version, and even compiler/runtime version. We support developer tools written in Python and in Go - we just launched the Go library this week! Please check out our GitHub page: https://github.com/bugout-dev/humbug. We would greatly appreciate your feedback.

- DDDiscover developers sharing their side projects2023 · thefullstack.network · ▲5
Myself and three friends, for the last year have been building our own side project, the aim of this side project was to show off the creative side of developers. One of my bug bears with Reddit is how quickly things get buried. The bug bear has turned into the basis for what I been building on the side called The Full Stack. A platform to show off developer projects basically. Another bug bear of mine over the years has been trying to find open source or just cool side projects to work on with others, and even find teams to join. So that's another thing we've built, an easy way to find…
- BABugCam: Add Video to Your Bug Reports2011 · getbugcam.com · ▲52
Today I'm launching my project BugCam. It all started four years ago when I sent an email to the folks at Fog Creek Software, asking them to add a video capture tool, just like their screenshot tool, into FogBugz. Their response: that sounds awesome, why don't you build it! Well, here we are. We've been in private beta for 3 months, have some happy users, and we're ready to release BugCam to the world today! BugCam makes it easy to create bug videos and share them via your favorite bug tracking tool (at this point, Bugzilla, FogBugz, Gemini, JIRA, Redmine, Mantis, and Trac. Additional…
- B3BugHerd 3 months later2011 · ▲8
Some of you may recall some months ago we started building an app called BugHerd (http://bugherd.com). At the time we had no pricing, no real market strategy and were having a hard time pitching our concept. A lot of people didn't understand why on earth we'd build a bug tracker when there are dozens of great apps out there already...and really, it was a pretty good point! We're now finding that our greatest use case is a communication tool between technical and non-technical users. e.g. stakeholders, clients, managers. BugHerd is now crossing the divide between QA, Feedback and Bug…
- IMI made a site for practicing front end debugging with real-world bugs2024 · codemender.io · ▲8
I am excited to introduce my solo project, a platform built with the frontend development community in mind. It's an interactive environment aimed at refining debugging skills through exposure to real-world bugs. This project stems from the need for a hands-on, practical method of learning to debug. The site features a variety of intentional bugs for users to solve, mirroring the types of challenges faced in professional settings. Over the coming weeks, I will be adding many more exercises and new features to enhance your learning experience further. Check out CodeMender at…
