CodeSmith Insight

CodeSmith is a very nice tool I love to use. Helps a lot! For many years they ruled code generation practices, but now the company has been seriously threatened by T4 which comes natively inside Microsoft Visual Studio (even hidden in 2005/2008).

In response to that, they now release a new product on SaaS based called Codesmith Insight. Insight has a lot of promisses like:

• Help Desk – manages support emails and questions submitted directly from your application or web site
• Issue Tracker – tracks feature requests, defect reports and manages priority based on votes
• Error Reporting Service – easily report and organize errors received directly from your application or web site

Take a look at the website www.codesmithinsight.com/ I liked the product but I believe that should be cheaper. Most companies has such buddle and many startup may have difficulties. Something between 300MB ~ 5GB at cost of $10 is affordable in the most developing countries in the world.
