How Streak uses Streak for Bug Tracking (streak.com)
41 points by alooPotato on July 8, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments



I wouldn't dare put my data anywhere near Gmail or Streak. The opportunity for something to go wrong is too high for my liking having dealt with Google "support" before. Considering Streak seems to be a hacked on extension as well, no chance.

We currently use JIRA but to be honest, when you hit 100 people (we're at 142 users), it's too expensive in licenses, kit and administrative time. It's also damn unreliable.

We're currently spanking it down to a heavily customised Trac instance. We can run the same processes with a 10th of the resources, no license fee and we actually get what we want. We have: code review, workflows, full ALM process management, defect tracking, reporting, helpdesk and error logging all in one place. Trac is an utterly awesome product, but very misunderstood.


I know I can use just about anything for bug tracking.

I'd rather hear about why I should use Streak for (whatever it is that Streak is supposed to do well)


Streak lets you add workflows to Gmail. Bug tracking is one of the built in workflow templates. It is supposed to handle this case well, and does.


Does it integrate with Github or other source control systems?


I searched for the word github and or bitbucket in the article.

Closed the tab when I couldn't find it.
