I’m a solo developer who’s never worked on a real engineering team.
The only person who suffers from my garbage commit messages (“fix”, “oops”, “wtf”, “done”) is future-me.
I’d come back after a weekend to 40+ unread GitHub notifications and have no idea what actually happened.
So I built pushlog.ai for myself.
It watches the repos you select and turns every push into one short, plain-English AI summary.
Real examples from my own repos last week:
-- “The update includes adding a GitHub icon link to the footer for easier navigation and enhancing OAuth error handling for improved user experience and security. No major functional changes or impacts.”
-- “The changes ensure proper type compatibility and clean up unnecessary logging code in various files related to storage and AI functionality.”
-- “Fixed the issue where Express was matching 'clear-all' as an :id parameter, causing a 404 error. This change ensures the clear-all endpoint works correctly without conflicts.”
-- “These changes enhance the user experience by ensuring notifications can be cleared and marked as read correctly, improving the overall UI layout, and providing immediate updates and refetch for notifications.”
It’s 100% free and unlimited right now — I just turned on infinite credits for everyone because I want real feedback while this thread is live.
I already save 20–30 min a day not context-switching just to remember what past-me broke.
Brutally honest feedback wanted:
-- Are the summaries actually useful, or still too vague?
-- Anything feel creepy permission-wise? I’ll reduce scopes today if you say so.
-- As a solo dev or indie hacker, would you ever pay for this? How much feels fair?

Setup = 10-second GitHub app install. Minimal permissions.
