Fogbugz didn't dominate the market like Jira did, but it had a dedicated customer base. It's revenue was used to fund the development of Trello in the early days, and to fund the first 2~ years of development on Glitch.
When FogBugz was sold off, it was still a modestly profitable business that a better acquirer could have stewarded into a better performer but the bug/issue tracking market is/was really tough.

Mine isn’t particularly advanced or cool but I built this little directory of kaomojis (text-based emoji) with a cat mascot while I was in San Francisco for an interview at Flickr (this was a long time ago). At the time I was a junior designer with very little dev experience, so this project helped get my feet wet.
