The Fluxer Bug Hunter profile badge is currently only available as a reward for responsible disclosure through our security bug bounty programme, not for general bug reports submitted via this guide.
Use this guide to put together a clear report so we can reproduce and fix the bug quickly. Screenshots, short screen recordings, and relevant logs or files help us diagnose the issue faster.
Bug report template
Give your report a specific title, for example "Media upload stalls at 95%". Then include the following sections:
- Steps to reproduce: number each step, and include the exact clicks or taps, inputs, shortcuts, and any timing or ordering details.
- Expected result: what you expected to happen.
- Actual result: what happened instead, including the exact error or on-screen message.
- System and client settings: in User Settings, tap your client info at the bottom of the sidebar to copy it, then paste it into the report.
Add evidence
Include anything that shows the issue: screenshots, short videos, logs, or sample files and exports. The more specific your report is, the faster we can help.
A note on privacy when sharing evidence
Only include data that is needed to demonstrate the bug. Screenshots and screen recordings can capture more than you intend: other people's usernames and avatars, message content from third parties in DMs or Communities, open tabs in the background, notification previews, tokens visible in network logs.
Before sending:
- Crop or blur unrelated chats, friend lists, and Community names.
- If you share a log file, search it for email addresses, IP addresses, session tokens, and other people's user IDs, and redact anything you do not specifically need to include.
- Prefer screenshots over photos. Photos often carry hidden EXIF metadata such as GPS coordinates.
- Never paste your own session token, password, or authentication cookie. We never need them to investigate a bug.
Submit your report
Email bugs@fluxer.app with the completed template. A concise but descriptive subject line helps us triage quickly. If you prefer GitHub, you are welcome to file issues in the Fluxer GitHub repository.
Security issues
If you believe the issue is security-related, visit our security bug bounty page instead of emailing support. Follow the guidance there, and include clear steps, why you believe it is a security risk, and any impact you have identified. We respond quickly to assess the report, coordinate a fix, and discuss disclosure expectations.
