DoneDone

Our story is, perhaps, the story of many bootstrapped SaaS applications. Full of major feature additions and minor feature tweaks. Full of emotional highs and lows. Full of steady-as-she-goes growth. We initially built DoneDone for our own team of seven developers at We Are Mammoth because we weren’t happy with the issue trackers available at the time — free or paid. We found that issues got lost in the ether when you could assign them to no one or everyone. We found that our team was less efficient when you could customize issue statuses and workflow. Software just became a dumping ground for lost ideas. Even today, many bug and issue tracking systems still feel like nothing more than a complex spreadsheet of input fields and text boxes. We built our product with just those few wishes to start. From the very beginning, DoneDone has always required a single responsible fixer and tester on every issue. It also has a very simple workflow and default filters like “Issues waiting on you” that keep the focus on moving issues along to resolution. After seven years and thousands of code commits, those simple tenets are still alive and well.
