Show HN: Share private Git repo activity without granting code access

https://www.gitpulse.dev
2•kevinbaur•2w ago
I built GitPulse (https://www.gitpulse.dev) to visualize development velocity for private repositories.

It generates a password-protected dashboard showing your commit graph, shipping streaks, and project status (Active vs. Stable) using only metadata.

Useful if you need to prove a private project is alive (e.g. for acquisitions or clients) but don't want to leak your source code.

Hey everyone, I’m Kevin, I built GitPulse.

Why I built it: With the rise of "Vibe Coding" and AI tools, shipping new products has never been faster. But that also means "abandonware" is piling up. As a user myself, before I pay for a subscription (or even consider buying a micro-SaaS), I constantly ask myself:

"Is there still an active developer behind this?"

"Is this project alive, or was it abandoned 3 months ago?"

I built GitPulse to answer that. It’s a verified signal for users and buyers to see if a project is actively maintained or stable without exposing the source code.

Features I added for fun & utility:

Gamification: "Shipping Streaks" to keep myself motivated.

Social Sharing: To show off progress publicly or prove activity to clients/buyers.

Smart Context: Distinguishing between "High Activity" and "Stable" (so finished projects don't look dead).

Roadmap: I’m currently working on deeper metrics like Build Stability (CI/CD status) and Package Health, so it’s not just about quantity, but quality.

If you have any feedback let me know!
