It’s frustrating to have to find the right place to report a bug, learn the specific format the project is expecting, then have the bug closed by a “stale bot” after a few weeks. I wish there were an independent, cross-product bug tracker that focused on cataloguing and diagnosing bugs for the benefit of users rather than on tracking work for the benefit of the developer.




That is an interesting idea, like a universal bug tracker

If you could report a bug on any product/project and it’s up to the users to open/verify/close it

Could put pressure on companies to improve quality since the number of bugs is public

I've been writing some software that does this actually. I have like 3 serious parallel side projects going though plus my day job.
