With almost 15 years of trusty and reliable service, we decided it was time to pamper FogBugz a little. And what better way to do that than with a full spa treatment.
Now you might be thinking “Whoa! 15 YEARS!”, and you’re absolutely right, that’s a lot of time. Especially if you consider that Internet years are pretty much like dog years. Amiright?
We’re incredibly lucky to have such loyal customers who have been using FogBugz for a super long time and are used to how FogBugz looks and feels. So as you can imagine, whilst we knew it was time to make changes, we had to be careful and subtle.
We started with the two most visited views in FogBugz: a warming exfoliation to the List Page and a bespoke massage to the Case Page. Here’s how they’ve been refreshed:
The List Page: before & after
The Case Page: before & after
We softened up the edges here and there and we updated our icon system too, making things easier on the eye. But most importantly, we made your content and your cases easier to read and skim through.
We hope that these changes improve your experience while using FogBugz and give you the warm, tingly feeling of a Bee Venom face mask (it’s a thing, apparently) as you resolve your cases.
But our treatment didn’t stop there. As you may have also seen, we’ve been giving some love to other areas of FogBugz lately too. Like the new User Options page, in-app notifications and activity feed as well as improvements to the Filters menu. Not to mention the release of Iteration Planner, adding support for your Agile and Sprint Planning needs.
Design is never done and FogBugz is no exception. Even after 15 years, we’re still working on making FogBugz the best issue and bug tracker in the world.
Now, who’s up for an ultimate holistic skin therapy treatment?
