Products that do what GitInsights – a lightweight developer metrics platform does
I originally launched GitInsights on HN 11 months ago, and got some brutal (but good!) feedback. Since then, I have used feedback to transform the product from "for eng managers" to "for eng teams", added/removed/improved metrics, and in the process picked up some decent traction. Same name, completely different product. As always, any feedback is welcome.

Hi HN, 8 months ago, I posted “Ask HN: I built it nobody came, what now?” and got a ton of (not very optimistic) feedback [1]. I took away 3 things: 1. The message wasn’t properly targeted 2. The onboarding experience was terrible. 3. Someone posted some advice to find leads which actually worked, yeah! So here we are. 8 months later. I unfortunately didn’t have a lot of time to put in the tool itself. But I improved the website, improved the onboarding, and got a paying customer who seems to really like the software. So here it is in its current form. Let me know what you think would make…

Hey HN! We are Patrick & Chris, bootstrapped co-founders of GA Insights (https://www.ga-insights.com) - a simple way of getting reports and alerts for your tools inside Slack and Teams. We started as a technical tool to monitor client accounts in Slack, interfacing with Microsoft Azure insights, and then pivoted to supporting business intelligence tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console. The idea was born out of the angst that we had experienced using disparate tools to monitor our metrics, client & to share information. Google Analytics has an ever-evolving interface…

Engineering metrics for developers are becoming more popular and they going in a negative direction and I want to fix this with my developer first engineering metrics. Solutions like GitPrime (now Pluralsight Flow), GitHub Insights (formerly Gitlaytics) and other similar solutions are giving non-technical people a false sense that you can easily roll up metrics to quantify developer productivity. In the "The Space of Developer Productivity" [1] that was posted on HackerNews this week, it goes into great detail to explain that there are a lot of variables at play. In the business world,…

Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

I'm excited to share InsightsGPT, a platform I've been building that provides analytics on how your team is using GPT-powered applications to transform workflows and boost productivity. As more businesses adopt AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Anthropic, etc. it's crucial to understand how these technologies are actually being used by your staff day-to-day. Are they using GPT effectively or relying on it too much? Is GPT enhancing workflows or hindering them? Are there untapped use cases that could accelerate work? InsightsGPT makes all of this visible with: Live metrics on GPT usage across…

I’ve spent the last 2.5 months building a product that runs LLM-powered code reviews on my pull requests — and I just launched it. The tool is built specifically for solo developers. You install it on your repo, trigger a scan by creating a pull request, and it leaves structured review comments using OpenAI under the hood. Funnily enough, I used the dev version of this app to review its own pull requests while building it. It helped me spot bugs, simplify structure, and keep quality high — all with minimal need for another human in the loop. Things I want to try out in the next months : -…

Based on the feedback from my closed beta customers and a lot of answers on this thread http://www.quora.com/Management/What-are-common-mistakes-that-new-or-inexperienced-managers-make/answer/Ian-McAllister, I decided to pivot my product to make a nimble performance documentation tool for managers to document the good/bad feedback to their reportees at one place. I am currently doing this by generating an email address that managers can 'cc' while emailing any feedback to their team members. All the feedback that is collected is visualized as a timeline…

Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…

Hi! Recently I've launched - mybfio.io - platform for software reviews with social network aspect. Prehistory Many great system are already in place that allow people to search and rate software products, including the site I am publishing this post on. However I have always felt that those systems are not specifically centered around product/software development lifecycle (releases, real users feedback over a product entire lifetime, so on) and often too broad or not designed specifically for that type of work, which is ok. Why? As an opensource author I would like to have constant…

I wanted to share something I've been working on recently: Statum, a handy web analytics tool. https://github.com/extractumio/statum The journey began when I found myself frequently needing simple web analytics for my projects. I tried Google Analytics, especially GA4, and realized it was quite complex and, at times, not very accurate, especially when I wanted to view stats for the current day or recent hours. Then I tested a few fancy startup solution but ended up with way too expensive plans the expect me to subscribe (I'm not that rich to pay $99/month for every…

Hey HN! Thank you for all the support and feedback on my original submission 2 months ago. I've been improving the backend using a MCTS/AlphaZero approach and it's currently producing much better results. My long term goal is to allow users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language. The cost of each project has been lowered to $9 as performance with smaller models has improved (I migrated from Claude-3-Opus to gemini-1.5-flash). Thanks for checking it out!
