Looks promising. Are you active on Reddit? Because the screenshots looked familiar, and I think I've seen screenshots of your app posted there before. Good points about software metrics. I'm not a big believer in them, either. I think the most useful metric I've ever needed or been able to use was in one case where I needed to see a developer's contribution activity. Looking at a specific developer, aggregated across a Github organization, it was clear they were just not doing much work! Hoping you'll post a "Show HN" when you release. |

Actionable software metrics is extremely hard to create, which is why we are often left with VERY LOW hanging fruit metrics or novelty metrics, as I like to call them. I honestly believe we are at a point now, where hardware is cheap and good enough, that we can generate very meaningful software metrics.
With GitPrime having sold for 180 USD in cash, and with GitHub and GitLab both investing in software development insights, there is a clear sign that managers and business leaders want to know what is going on. Unfortunately what we have now, in my opinion, borders on snake oil, which I'm hoping to use to my advantage to contrast my solution with others.

Great, I'm looking forward to your upvote as getting traction is really hard :-)
