Something that always bugged me as a developer is how different Git platforms are when it comes to their event data. Commits, PRs, merge events… none of them agree on anything.

So I ended up building a small project with a friend to solve that problem for ourselves — a unified activity layer that takes raw Git events and turns them into something consistent and actually useful.

The worst part: webhook chaos If you’ve ever tried to support multiple VCS providers, you already know:

GitHub payloads are clean but deeply nested

GitLab payloads are verbose and inconsistent

Bitbucket payloads… have their own personality

Half the work is just mapping fields, renaming stuff, and dealing with missing attributes.

We built an internal event schema + mappers for each provider, and store everything in MongoDB because the document model handles slight structural differences without complaining.

That one decision saved us months.

Once the data was normalized, cool things became possible We could layer features on top of the unified events:

AI agent trained on repo activity

Automated weekly/monthly summaries (Slack/email)

Real-time commit + PR tracking

Contribution leaderboard

Auto-generated changelogs

A lightweight PR-linked Kanban board

None of this was possible before cleaning the webhook mess.

Why we made it

We were tired of manual reporting, digging through 20 PR tabs, and trying to summarize dev activity by hand every week. So we built something to make that process less painful.
