WorkBugs: Modernizing bug tracking for developers

The Challenge

Traditional bug trackers like Jira were too complex for small teams with steep learning curves.

Indie developers needed something lightweight that didn't require project management overhead.

GitHub Issues lacked visual organization and advanced filtering for larger projects.

Teams wanted native integration with their existing development workflow.

Our Solution

Designed a minimal interface focused on speed: add a bug in under 10 seconds.

Built direct GitHub integration to sync issues and pull requests automatically.

Created smart filtering with tags, priorities, and custom views without configuration overhead.

Implemented keyboard shortcuts for power users to navigate without touching the mouse.

Added screenshot annotation tools for faster visual bug reporting.
