Mantis is an agile, simple bugtracker

Filed under:

Bug trackers are a fact of life. The problem is that, more often than not, they can be really cumbersome. Take JIRA, for example. It's considered top-of-the-line, but my god, it's complex. Oh, and they don't really offer a free option anymore.

Mantis tries to offer a simpler solution. Granted, it's no beauty queen and seems devoid of any AJAX magic, but it does feel streamlined and lean (oh, and it's free). The screenshot above shows a demo bug, and I find it quite easy to read. The main Mantis page is quite easy on the eyes and light on text, again putting it in stark contrast to the commercial-looking page for JIRA.

If I had to deploy a simple bugtracker, I would definitely take Mantis for a spin.
