What actually changed this week?
Which PRs are stuck?
What did we ship?
Who’s waiting on a review?
It sits on top of your GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket repos and turns the noise into something readable.
The hardest part by far? Webhooks. Each provider sends totally different payloads:
different keys
different structures
missing fields
inconsistent naming
You end up spending more time normalizing than building features
We solved it by creating an internal unified event schema + a mapper for each provider. All normalized events get stored in MongoDB, which helps a lot because the flexible document model makes it painless to handle slightly different shapes of data without breaking anything.
Once we had that, the features came naturally Real-time commit & PR monitoring
AI agent trained on your repo activity
Automated weekly/monthly summaries (email or Slack)
Leaderboard with contribution scoring
Public changelog pages
Multi-platform support (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket)
Basically a unified activity layer for teams that move fast.
Why even build it? Git platforms give you raw data. Teams want context. Devs want fast answers. Managers want summaries, not dashboards.
