Projects, issues, Kanban board, milestones, comments, and activity log. GitHub Issues but on your own server with drag-and-drop workflow.
When regulators or clients ask where your issues data is stored, the best answer is a specific server you own in a specific jurisdiction you chose. Bounty makes that answer straightforward because the data never leaves your infrastructure.
Deploy as a single binary. It reads two environment variables: PORT and DATA_DIR. The dashboard at /ui gives you a list view with filters and a Kanban board with drag-and-drop between Open, In Progress, and Closed columns. Projects, milestones, comments, and an activity log are all built in. The /api/health endpoint returns service status for your monitoring stack.
A dev team uses the Kanban board to manage their sprint: drag issues from Open to In Progress when you start work, then to Closed when done. Milestones track release goals with progress bars. Comments keep discussion threaded under each issue. The activity log shows who did what and when.
