You one of those developers that generally just can’t be arsed to file Radars, even though we’re bombarded constantly with the message that it really, seriously, is the best way to get Apple to listen to your concerns? Yeah, us too, we’re mildly ashamed to admit; last few years we’ve only bothered when directly instructed to by Apple engineers, actually. But here’s a tool intending to improve that experience: QuickRadar!
What is QuickRadar?
Every Mac or iOS developer knows that they should file Radars with Apple whenever things don’t work the way they should, but having to interrupt the flow of your work in order to open Apple’s bug reporter means that many bugs go unreported. Many people have tried to make Radar work better, in various ways. Here’s another attempt.
Apple’s online bug reporter is slow, and requires you to log in each time you want to use it, making filing bugs a slow process. QuickRadar runs in the background on your Mac, giving you a keyboard shortcut to instantly open a window to type your bug report…
Code is amyworrall / QuickRadar on github; apparently OpenRadar support is next on the roadmap, so this has a good chance of becoming a must have tool for the conscientious Apple developer!
