#Overview The issue tracker is a simple application for tracking issues found while developing web bases software in a controlled environment. The application is built to tbe client facing, allowing clients to submit bug reports and grabbing any browser/user information it can parse. Knowing the browser with version, as well as window size is often half the battle when trying to recreate bugs.

Some of the major features of the issue tracker:

• Simple yet comprehensive issue reporting form
• User management and authentication system including password reset
• Simple project management system
• Fully fledged subscription based notification system
• Sortable table views
• Design is entirely responsive

Notification System

The issue tracker has a fully featured notification subscription system, which automatically subscribes users to projects and issues based on their actions, but allows the user to manage their own subscriptions if they want to watch a particular issue they might not have interacted with, or if they want to remove notifications from and issue they are no longer interested in.
