Simplifying Issue Tracking, Introducing Issuefy.dev – From Emails to GitHub Issues

Introduction

In every project, dealing with client feedback and bug reports can be a headache, especially when they come in through emails. How do I know that? Well, I have the same problem. I have been working as a solo developer for years, and I have faced the same issue over and over again. I have tried different project management tools but none worked for me. That's why I created Issuefy.dev. Tool that transforms emails into GitHub issues, making issue management seamless without asking clients to adapt to new platforms.

The Problem with Email-Based Issue Tracking

Clients often prefer sending feedback via email, but managing issue tracking through an inbox can feel chaotic. Important bugs or feature requests easily get lost in email threads, forgotten, or mismanaged. Traditional project management tools sometimes feel like overkill for smaller teams or solo developers. As a result, I wanted a solution that doesn’t interrupt the way clients work but streamlines the developer’s process.

How It Works

Issuefy.dev bridges this gap by automatically converting emails into GitHub issues. Here's a simple rundown of how it works:

Use a Brevo Inbound Webhook.
Assign the unique email address to a GitHub repository: Link it to the repository where you want issues to be tracked.
Receive GitHub issues from client emails: Every email sent to that address gets converted into a GitHub issue—no additional software or accounts needed from the client side.

This means you can centralize all your feedback and issue tracking in GitHub without disrupting your client’s workflow.

Why Use Issuefy.dev?

No Client Training Needed: Your clients already know how to send an email. They don’t need to learn how to use GitHub or any other tools.
No Lost Information: All emails become neatly organized GitHub issues, making tracking and resolving tasks much more efficient.
Simple Setup: Connect your email and repository, and you’re ready to go.
Security & Privacy: Emails and webhooks are securely encrypted, ensuring that sensitive data is protected.

A Look at the Features

Easy integration: Start receiving issues in minutes. Assign unique email addresses to different clients and projects.

Who Should Use It?

Issuefy.dev is perfect for solo developers, freelancers, or small teams who don’t want the overhead of complex project management software but need a better system than email threads. If you’re working on small to medium-sized projects and want to streamline your workflow, this tool is for you.
