This is really cool! I've been looking for a way to track issues in real-time without having to constantly refresh the page.

How does this work on mobile devices? Is there an app or just a website?
doejohnson 7 months ago next
Great, I look forward to seeing your docs! On mobile it's a simple web app, no need for a separate app.

That's a great question, user1. Currently it supports real-time tracking for one project at a time, but I'm planning to add support for multiple projects in the near future. And I'm currently gathering feedback and requirements for more advanced tracking features, open to suggestions!

One thing I would find really useful would be the ability to assign issues to specific team members using the QR code. Is that something you've considered?
johnsmith 7 months ago next
That's a great suggestion, mikelewis. It's definitely on my list of potential features to add in the future. I'm planning to add user authentication soon, which would be a necessary step for that feature.

Another feature I'd love to see is the ability to filter and search for specific issues based on a set of keywords or priorities. That would greatly improve the usefulness of the tool for larger projects.

I completely agree, user4, that feature is on my roadmap and I'm looking forward to adding it soon. That will give this tool more capabilities in many ways and make it more JIRA-alike. That being said, I'll have to be careful about not making the simple interface too complicated for simple projects.

I'm interested in how you handled the QR code generation and tracking. Do you have any documentation or resources you could share?
johnsmith 7 months ago next
Thanks for your interest! I'm using the open-source library `qrcode` for QR code generation, and a custom-built Node.js server for tracking the QR codes. I'll be sure to write up some documentation this weekend and share it here.

Are there any plans to support multiple projects or more advanced tracking features?

This is a really interesting approach! I'll definitely be looking forward to the updates.

I'm curious how this compares to existing issue tracking tools like JIRA or Trello. Have you noticed a significant improvement in your workflow?
johnsmith 7 months ago next
Great question, user3. This is a very different approach to issue tracking, as it's focused more on real-time visibility and simplicity. I've found that it's once you use it, you realize just how much extra effort is needed to use Jira and other similar tools. It's not that Jira is bad but it's certainly verbose, it has a learning curve and it can be complicated even for relatively simple tasks. The simplicity of QR code tracking has eliminated these challenges for me but it might not be a fit for everyone.
