Our Project Issues Are Now Public

Every Philterd project is open source, and now its issue tracker is too. We have moved our work items out of a private backlog and into the public GitHub repository for each project, so you can see what is planned, what is in progress, and where you can help.

Why our issues were private

Philterd started before the toolkit was fully open source. In those early days we tracked all of our work in a single private repository: one backlog covering Philter , Phileas , PhEye , Phinder , and the rest. That was convenient for a one-person company, but it left an obvious gap once the code was public.

What changed

We have moved those issues into the repository where the work actually happens. A Philter Desktop request now lives in the PhilterDesktop repository. A Phileas engine task lives in phileas . A PhiSQL change lives in phisql . The same is true across the toolkit. Each issue was recreated in its real home, with its context preserved and cross-references pointed at their new public locations.

The result is that every project’s GitHub issues page is now a real view of that project.

What happens next

Triaging, labeling, and refining these issues is an ongoing process, and it is already underway. We are sharpening titles and acceptance criteria, applying labels (including good first issue where it fits), and closing anything stale or already done. If an issue looks rough right now, that is why.

We would love your help

This is the part we are most excited about. Moving the backlog into the open is not just housekeeping. It is an invitation. We want to hear where the tools fall short, what you wish they did, and what you would build if a rough edge were smoothed.

So please, open issues. If you hit a bug, file it in that project’s repository. If you have an idea, propose it. If you want to contribute code, look for the good first issue label or comment on something that interests you. You can browse everything from the community page or directly at github.com/philterd .

We are looking forward to building this in the open, with you.
