Billed as “humanity’s last remaining hope against computers” Bug.gd is aiming to build a collaborative search and answers database of computer bugs.
The idea is simple enough and addresses a real problem. A user ispresented with an error message, they search bug.gd to see if anyonehas solved it. If someone has a solution great, if no one found asolution then not so great; however Bug.gd is betting that when theycan’t deliver a solution, the user will ultimately find one. Users geta reminder email in 48 hours requesting they post the solution(presuming they found one) so others can benefit from this knowledge,providing a fluid and regularly updated collaborative database ofproblems and solutions.
The service is free to use and ad-free. Bug.gd is looking to buildrevenue from corporate intranet sales of bug.gd tools that will providea centralized in-house database of bug fixes. An API for submitting andquerying against the bug.gd error database is currently being built.
It’s a simple idea that could work, although the results are reallydependent on users being generous enough to share bug fixes. The Bug.gdhas been seeded with 60,000 error messages and solution from Microsoft(that’s a scary number in itself) and is slowly adding new solutionsdaily.
