BugRecon is a lightweight yet powerful project management tool built to simplify the process of tracking issues, collaborating with team members, and maintaining documentation — all in one place.
Whenever I built projects, it was hard to track down the bugs and features I was working on. Taking notes of the things I learned required a separate app, which became too distracting and fragmented my workflow. To solve these challenges, I built BugRecon to bring issue tracking, collaboration, and documentation together in one unified platform.
-
Project & Issue Tracking Create, manage, and resolve issues tied to specific projects. Keep your workflow structured and efficient.
-
Team Collaboration Add team members to your projects and collaborate on tasks in real-time. Assign issues, leave comments, and track progress.
-
Documentation Management Keep important notes, references, and future plans organized with built-in documentation support.
-
Clean & Intuitive UI Navigate through a modern interface designed for productivity and ease of use.
-
Role-Based Access Control Manage user permissions to ensure the right people have the right access to your projects.
- Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Node.js, Express
- Database: MongoDB
- Authentication: JWT-based secure login system
Rename .env.sample to .env inside your backend/ directory and fill in the following fields:
NODE_ENV=production
PORT=8002
CORS_ORIGIN=*
MONGO_URI=<MONGODB URL>
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=<your access token secret>
ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRY=1d
REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET=<your refresh token secret>
REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRY=30d
RATE_LIMIT_REQUEST=100
MAILTRAP_HOST=sandbox.smtp.mailtrap.io
MAILTRAP_PORT=2525
MAILTRAP_USER=your_username
MAILTRAP_PASS=your_password
✅ Note: Keep this file secret — never commit it to version control.
# Generate a secret between 32 and 65 bytes long:
node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(48).toString('hex'))"Paste the generated string into ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET and REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET for signing your JWTs.
