Ask HN: Should I continue with my bootstrapped startup?

Thanks for the feedback, I'm pretty typical as a programmer, little to no marketing skills. I'd really appreciate any advice you can offer.

In terms of target market, I think I'm a step behind that, I'm not even sure what BugMuncher should be used for: bug reporting on live sites, team communication during development, are cross browser issues important?

Should it be a fully featured issue tracker (crowded market) or should it just integrate with existing tools?

I kind of feel like I'm throwing features at the wall to see what sticks :)

In terms of my current user base, it's mostly people using it for bug reports on live sites, but I feel in that use case, cross browser issues are important :s

I agree the website definitely needs redoing, I bought that on themeforest, gonna work with a designer to make something a lot better.

Well any advice I give will be open for everyone to see (competitors included) and limited to the 2000 chars provided by HN.

If you'd like to discuss things privately, use http://boun.cr to hide your email and we can discuss things via email thereafter.

Otherwise, as you've mentioned about your current market, it seems like the market is pushing your tool towards the live-site part of it.

Maybe I should try evaluating your product also. I need to "play" with it to understand how I would interpret its use in the role of a customer.
