A few months ago there was another of these posted, called Epiq: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48155570 My comment on there is about a surge in popularity of these over a decade ago, with a link to a previous comment about problems I remember them having that prevented them from being usable for most people ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47956979 ), because of their intended design rather than an implementation issue. For example bullet 3 was a problem in one, that another tried to solve with bullet 2. I don't have time right now to look at this one to guess if these apply, but might be interesting/useful for someone else. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Looks like GitHub issue tracker is embedded in git itself. Interesting! | ||||||||||||||||||||

Looks really nice, I wonder why there hasn't been a project with this exact name and functionality before. When I think about it, "git bug" is quite limiting (the bug vs. feature discussion). Naming things is hard, but I can see that it might feel unnatural to use "git bug" to track features. Maybe that's totally okay because it does one thing - tracking bugs - very well, and the whole feature roadmap is living in another system/process anyways? | ||||||||||||||||||||
