The faster, smoother BugHerd you requested!
- Last updated on April 9, 2024 at 4:49 AM
Noticed that BugHerd is a little zippier and more responsive? We started rolling out some speed and performance improvements for our new UI on 20th March. Now…
Your BugHerd boards load twice as fast as previously
It’s also now faster to view, open, and move tasks between columns or select multiple tasks to update at the same time.
Who doesn’t love a little more efficiency in their day?
If you haven’t tried the new UI, now is definitely the time to try it. Click Switch to the new UI in your task board and see it for yourself.
Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback, especially those who took the time to have a call with us. It’s because of you we’ve been able to make some really great improvements to our new UI and also fixed some of the niggling little things in BugHerd along the way. Check these out too:
New UI tweaks and additions
BugHerd’s UI font is now Inter. This font is better for readability, particularly on Windows devices.
The main navigation now includes a My Projects link, a list of your most recent projects, and a searchable list of all projects for your organization. All designed to make it much easier to quickly switch between projects.
My Organizations in the main dropdown displays all organizations that you’re part of, making it easier to switch orgs.
The new UI now has an updated task card and column styling for better visual clarity and reduced clutter. The columns and task cards in the new UI also now behave responsively, for better display across devices.
We fixed the janky display of some of your company’s logos in the nav.
The export bugs feature has returned! Click Settings in the Left column, then select Export Bugs.
Task counts have been added beside members, guests and tags lists. These counts now show completed tasks and total tasks.
Updated the Edit project access link in Team settings to be blue and not bold for better readability.
Scrolling is no longer a problem in safari, including safari on mobile.
We also updated where we managed to misspell our own name. 🤦
Project and User settings
Selecting Keep these settings once again keeps the settings, even if you refresh the page or leave the project and come back.
Add a glam profile photo, with the increased file size limit.
Added a count display for archived tasks for better organization.
When inviting guest users, clicking Copy invite link now confirms that you’ve copied the link.
Also when inviting others to BugHerd, they can now update their email address during signup without getting error messages.
The Guest user dashboard has had some visual tweaks to make it look more appealing too, particularly on larger screens.
You can now delete a project, without encountering a 404 error message… as it should be!
The BugHerd Sidebar
Tag elements via keyboard shortcuts from the BugHerd sidebar.
Archived task pins no longer appear on websites until you refresh. Once a task is archived, the pin disappears.
Managing tasks
You can now paste a screenshot directly into task descriptions! Huzzah.
The add task button now includes the words Add Task, making it more visible and accessible.
When selecting multiple tasks, only tasks clicked after you press the CTRL key are selected.
Updated task location display in task details for clearer path indication.
Tasks are now deleted immediately when selecting to delete a task, without needing a page refresh.
There’s a new add as new tag option when creating a task for easier tagging.
Filtering, and sorting tasks
Yeah, these annoyed the BugHerd team too…
Sorting by severity now brings Critical tasks to the top (ie descending order).
Tasks with a severity of Not set are sent to the bottom of the list.
Notifications and comments
Resolved a bug where some links to tasks and comments from email notifications weren’t working correctly.
Bug fix for the unread indicator on tasks (Beta).
We fixed the odd overlap with @mention highlighting in comments on tasks.
You no longer have to refresh the page after deleting a comment for it to disappear.
Video Feedback
Video feedback is now tagged as Video on the task.
Billing
We’ve made it easier to move from yearly to monthly plans, made the page easier to navigate, and provided better support and error messages if anything goes wrong.
We’ve also allowed for VAT numbers to be added for invoice display.
Integrations
You can now unlink Jira/Trello/Asana integrations from tasks.
Resolved a bug when updating or removing your Slack integration.
We fixed an issue preventing selection of Settings when the Integrations tab is open.
Logs
We fixed an issue where Task Event Logs displayed blank logs.
Limited sidebar/extension console logging to debug mode, to reduce the logging volume.
Contacting support
The contact us form now shows a confirmation message when you click Submit.
