No problem. I'm also planning on open sourcing the frontend when I have the available resources as the value is really with the data. If others want to learn from what I've done and/or use it to integrate into their own solu

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

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

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

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 busine

In the impact view, the zones are shown in the top left quadrant. I guess I could find a way to make it more obvious.

Hey thanks for the candid feedback! As for the metrics, I will need to write more about impact based metrics as they are suppose to help developers. For example, it is a fast way to determine potential domain experts for code reviews and o

Not if the metrics is done right! Code churn is always positive since it's "lines added + changed + deleted" Honestly your example is exactly why software metrics is a good thing for developers. If you run blame across the

I'm guessing the value with the rules system is, you can add new rules easily. So during a code review, if you see somebody using your example, you could create a new rule to catch that. I don't think you can go in with the minds
