Show HN: Share private Git repo activity without granting code access
I built GitPulse (https://www.gitpulse.dev 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.
- kevinbaur 8mo agoHey 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!
