Your landing page talks all about workflows, so I'm unclear how this meets your own stated goal of being focused less on workflows and more on helping the team close bugs faster. From reading your page, I don't see a single feature that isn't already in Jira. I also have no ideas why reminding people to do their work is an issue to be resolved by software - sounds like a cultural problem, not a tech problem.

In any case, I don't think your problem is that you are missing features. It is that you are aiming for table stakes, and aren't showing us anything new and exciting.

If you want to truly change how teams operate and present us with a new model for managing and closing bugs, then you need to live up to your own description, move away from workflows and "my bugs" listed on pages, and show us something completely new.

We are trying to be less workflow focused and more closure focused. I do see how it might not be clear on the landing page.

You are right, we have limited features. That is because we are a small team and we want to have only the minimum features required for bug tracking (and not everything JIRA has). But, what we do intend is to go deep into this space and really question how we have all been building software and managing bugs.

The nudging people to move issues is indeed a culture thing. And the intention is to bring in culture building as part of the platform. This will reinforce and make resolving issues a much needed thing in our space.

The wrong culture is a bug, and maybe bugasura will help fix it. :)
