Open database of defects in closed software

We all use programs and from time to time we find errors in them.

In the case of free software, you can fix the problem yourself in the source code (if you have enough qualifications) or hire a developer to do it for you. But, unfortunately, the use of free software is not always possible. It is very difficult to resist the pressure of other people to use proprietary software (such as with Skype: closed, inconvenient, not available under all platforms, but nevertheless, all use it due to the lack of good and popular alternatives). In the event of problems with proprietary software, you can only hope that the manufacturer will fix your problem in the next update.

I offer a partial solution to the problem.

Having discovered a problem in the software, the user can behave differently and in my opinion each behavior depends on the user's advancement, the seriousness of the problem, and the person's proactivity:

• close your eyes to the problem and live on without noticing it
• resent each time bumping into a problem (no matter how: verbally or in social networks)
• report an error to the manufacturer (this is aerobatics)

But even if the user reported the problem directly to the manufacturer, there is no guarantee that the problem will be fixed in the next updates. And, since this is proprietary software, no one but the manufacturer can help the user and he remains alone with his sufferings.

As a solution, I decided to make an open bugtracker for such problems
who would probably solve a few problems:

• public availability of known bugs in proprietary software
• the ability to create statistics on the number of defects in the closed software
• possible tool of additional influence on the manufacturer (everyone sees their open bugs, reputation and all that)
• after all, it is more constructive than emotional howls on forums and social networks
• criteria for buying or using applications (maybe I will not buy an application if it has a lot of open problems)
• additional feedback for software vendor (?)

By the way, the creation of this project was preceded by my correspondence with Richard Stallman, in which I wanted to discuss this idea with him.

After my arguments in favor of creating this project, he replied: "It is an interesting idea - worth a try."
Actually after that I did it - Community bug reports .

If you have bugs that are ignored by software vendors, you can add them.
