We're launching our pet project today - bugrocket.
It's a small, lean bug tracker meant for small teams. We trimmed and trimmed the spec down over the course of development and what we've got is the core of what we think will be great.
We're looking for some constructive feedback to fuel our first major iteration after launch.
Some stuff that's high on the list:
- A live demo with real-looking data to play with
- A video, or several very short ones showing off some of the UI
- A full API (for doing imports and so on)
What do you think oh wise HN populace?

Pricing seems way out of whack IMO. I wouldn't try it because I don't think your pricing model is sustainable. What if a 1000-person company comes to you and signs up? You'll instantly be in the red from a usage/cost standpoint (i.e. what you pay for storage/servers). What if you sign up 100 10-person teams and all 100 use 10GB of storage? You'll go bankrupt paying the usage/meter fees and there goes all of our bug reports/tracking.
I think it's fine to promote simple but "one size fits all" doesn't seem viable to me.
And why reinvent the wheel ("no credit card required")? There's a reason that 100,000 other web startups require a credit card to start the free trial. Why would you buck the trend? I guess another way to say it is, "What is it that those other companies have learned in the past 10+ years of marketing apps on the web that you think is wrong?"
