I really appreciate you taking the time to do this! I would love to add trend data to the email. If you are willing, can you please contact me via email (available on the website) or send me a message (via the feedback in app) so that i can get your thoughts on how to implement?
OP here - really appreciate all of the feedback, whether it be negative or positive!
To answer the question on use case: as an eng leader overseeing a large team or multiple teams, I would use this purely as an internal pulse-check, and that's it. Bringing these datapoints into a single place can help determine places to dig in, such as:
Are we auto-shipping PRs without diligent review/code comments?.
Are senior engineers putting enough time/effort into PR review?
Are there a subset of engineers carrying the team in terms of PR feedback?
Does a junior engineer's progress align with status updates
Are we shipping PRs in reasonable sizes? We just finished planning and are moving into build cycle, are product requirements allowing devs to start building as expected?
None of this email content is meant to be source-of-truth, but instead a signal/pulse-check.
I do agree with a lot of the feedback on worry about how this data is used — e.g. commit count != productivity. That said, a good manager is not going to mis-use this data and your poor manager is already a poor manager without it.
Thanks a ton! If you have any feedback/needs that the app doesn't currently account for, please email me of send the feedback from directly within the app!
The homepage looks great! Nice start. One note - the 'Get Started' button in the nav takes me to the bottom of the page, but the only signup button on the page is at the top of the page.
What I hear you saying is that people see the value in maintaining business/professional relationships but don't have the time to so do. Maybe people would use this tool if it could help decrease time spent maintaining a network?
