Here is an analysis of Tooljet development in the last 90 days https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=window%3A90&r=github%3AToolJet%2FToolJet&v=repo https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind... I also did one for budibase as well https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=window%3A90&r=github%3ABudibase%2Fbudibase&v=repo https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind...

GitSense seems very useful. Constructive feedback about the UI: replace the (straggler?) serif font with the sans serif font you're using elsewhere on the page

  Thanks for the feedback. I'm the sole founder behind GitSense and to be honest, there are too many stragglers and things I should have done better. It's just that my time is pulled in so many different directions, with the business side of things occupying most of it right now. Thanks for commenting and yeah I do want to ensure everything is sans serif. I think I get a pass though, since I do have the beta label on the tool :-)

Awesome tool. Have you considered adding support/analytics around Github discussions?
- sdesol 5y ago
  I actually want to index everything in the software development lifecycle, which will include GitHub discussions. The issue right now is I'm a sole founder and I can only implement so many features and I am looking for investors right now (ping me if you think you can help with introductions) to tackle what you suggested. I really do want to index everything from meetings, emails, time between design docs and so forth. Indexing GitHub discussions is very important since it takes effort to engage people and I want to best capture effort so that developers can say "1 line of code" took more effort than you can imagine.

    Awesome. It's a big task, and I wish you all the best. Not sure I can help with investors though.

Why no LoC included, it seems most useful metric. Also bugs filed/fixed would be helpful too. Thank you for your effort!

  > Why no LoC included LoC invokes PTSD for many developers and I honestly want to do it right, which will take a bit effort and thinking on my part. For example, when providing LoC, I want to be able to break it down into useful information like (isolated code, used here and there) and so forth. I want LoC to help us understand the significance of going from one revision to another, so that LoC can be used to help us drive actionable insights. Edit: Just realized I never addressed your other points which is I do want to index and provide insights into everything in the software development lifecycle, it's just that I'm bound by resource constraints right now.

Hi there, nice site. I'm really like this combined side scrolling table + graph component you use on the pulse page. Looking at the source I see a mention of echarts in the html but I don't think I've seen anything like that in their examples. Did you build this yourself as a custom rendered chart or is this something that someone else built?
- sdesol 5y ago
  All the charts are by echarts. For the timeline chart (the one in the pulse view) think of it as a scatter chart that is zoomed in. echarts provides labels and drawing lines and other things which is how I was able to create the timeline chart.

Nice! GitSense is really cool. I recently enjoyed this dashboard [0], which is more basic and focused on tracking project popularity. Is there a way for me to add Lowdefy [1] to GitSense?

  I've added lowdefy to GitSense and depending on how big the repository is, indexing can take minutes to hours to complete. Having said that, the public version of GitSense is scrubbed from time to time since it is still in Beta, so I can't guarantee that it will be there after the next scrubbing. You can install GitSense on your own infrastructure like your laptop if you want, but the license file will time out after 30 days. Once GitSense is out of Beta and I'm properly funded, I want to make GitSense free to use forever for small instances and opensource.
