I used to enjoy reading the "Joel on Software" blog in e.g. 2004, and that was around the time he/they were working on this product. I guess it's been sold on, perhaps many times, since, and I guess if the new owners are trying this then they don't have many/any actual real paying customers.

It seems such a shame. The blog (and presumably the product, although I never used it) was brimming with such optimism and confidence, "this is how you run a good business!" etc.

I bet Joel didn't envisage that product ending like this when he wrote all those articles. :(

I would say though, they did run a good business. Trello and stackoverflow were both great successes.

I liked fogbugz back then but they clearly pivoted out of it and stopped really marketing it or even developing new features for it a long time ago.
