Bug Tracker Lite is a lightweight, minimalist issue management system built using Django. It allows developers and teams to track, manage, and resolve software bugs efficiently. This project focuses on functionality, clarity, and simplicity—making it ideal for internal teams or solo developers who need a fast, no-frills way to manage bug reports.
The system includes core bug tracking features: user authentication, bug creation, assignment, status management, and a visual dashboard to get an at-a-glance view of all bugs in the system. The frontend uses Bootstrap for a clean and responsive UI, with custom styling to enhance readability and professional appearance. Designed as a fully local project, it can also be easily deployed to the cloud with a few changes.
