Hello list.

After using various issue tracking packages that included a lot of  
typework and maintenance , we decided to build one of our own,  
focusing at ease of use.  
We would appreciate your opinion, but be gentle it’s somewhat beta 🙂

Screencast at [http://www.bugja.com/screencast](http://www.bugja.com/screencast)

It’s ROR of course 🙂

Thanks in advance

Well, you could set a skip\_before :login\_required for the screencast  
if you want people to be able to have a look before signing up 🙂

Best regards

LOL.  
Forgot to add a :screencast action in the except list.

Sorry 🙂  
It’s ok now.

Screen cast is a bit fast… Looks good though after watching it a  
few times.

I really like the design and implementation of this app. It would be  
very nice if you could post some info as to how you made/designed it.  
Maybe something about plugins used, how you implemented all those  
shnazzy interface perks (sign up form validation, etc.).

I also posted a small writeup of the app on my blog http://  
[rubyrumble.com](http://rubyrumble.com) (basically saying how much I like the app 🙂 ).

CptOatmeal thank you for the feedback.

Actually the sign up form it’s just javascript and some ajax calls.  
Nothing  
special.

There is something worth mentioning, though.  
Uploading a \*.doc attachment, it will be converted to html using the  
[http://wvware.sourceforge.net/](http://wvware.sourceforge.net/) library.  
It’s very easy to use, you just throw the doc at it, and it generates a  
nice  
html file 🙂

Cheers.  
Thanks again.  
George
