Very nice but would be even nicer if they offered up some code so we could all run our own swish bug tracking sites…

This is very interesting. Could be quite useful for a nimble Web 2.0 startup.

I wonder why they call it “16Bugs” though ? Why 16 ? Why not 17 or 15 ?

@fartikus: I hope I’ll still be around in six months, especially given the time I devoted to development. ;)
And Daniel Morrison is right: you can always get away with your XML dump. :)

fartikus: They have an XML export, so I’m not worried about lock-in.

Does this imply that 37signals has only 16bugs, or that it has 592bugs?

Seriously though, great to see another take on bug tracking. And names are scarce…

is anyone going to commit their bug queue to a site that will not be there in six months? this is a serious question, bug tracking history is the dna of a major project, it would seem very very unwise to export this data to a resource that project developers do not directly control.

Looks promising.

Simone Dall’Angelo sent the original message on behalf of 16bugs, but I’ve updated the post after she pointed out to me it’s actually Michele Finotto’s product.

I’m glad you decided to feature 16bugs – it is a great new service which hasn’t received the attention it actually should have.

PS: Hi Simone Dallâ€™Angelo whoever you are :P
