👋 Hey Product Hunt community!
I'm Ravi, the creator of DevDiary. As a developer myself, I've always struggled to keep track of my coding journey, solutions to problems I've encountered, and the valuable lessons learned along the way. That's why I built DevDiary.me - a dedicated journaling tool that helps developers document their technical growth and achievements. This is my debut product as a part-time(hopefully future full-time) Indie Maker.
The basic idea behind DevDiary.me is to document the software development lifecycle of feature/milestone/product without manually having to do anything. It directly plugs into your repositories and builds you work history. You may also want to check articles on DevDiary Blog to understand, How having a detailed work history can be useful? For now it tracks only some very essential events, activities and workflows, but I will keep building upon them to have as much information as possible.
ALSO, DevDiary.me DOESN'T TOUCH ANY OF YOUR CODE. This has been a priority for now due to security and privacy reasons.
🚀 Key Features:
- 🔄 GitHub integration to track your commits and project progress
- 🏷️ Smart tagging system for easy knowledge retrieval
- 📊 Generate Standup-style daily/weekly/monthly summaries
DevDiary is perfect for:
- Individual developers tracking their learning and development journey
- Tech teams sharing knowledge and solutions
- Indie Makers building and documenting their side projects
- Tech entrepreneurs tracking product development milestones
- Open source contributors maintaining project notes
Current launch is still an early release, looking to validate the product, gather feedback and understand user sentiment & behaviour. Product will have bugs, broken workflows etc, so please be understanding, I will without a doubt resolve them as soon as humanly possible.
I'd love to hear your feedback on how we can make DevDiary even better for the developer community, be it positive or negative. What features would you like to see? How could we improve your experience?
All feedback is essential, no matter how big or small, whether about UI, User experience, integrations or workflows, whether criticisms or praise(especially criticisms). Main purpose of this launch is to understand what to build from now onwards. I want to build it how you all like it or want it, so please do share your feedback even if you don't want to use DevDiary. You can comment below or use DevDiary's Feedback Board.
You will not be able to enjoy full benefits of DevDiary.me by using it for a few hours or a couple of days, as it builds upon your activities after integration with your git repositories. This launch comes with 14-day trial to let enjoy all the features and updates. Please use all of it to be able to truly understand and enjoy the benefits of a developer journal. If you feel you want to test it out for some more time and that you feel there is potential to it, please drop a message on our contact form or email. I would be very happy to extend your trial further.
If you feel, you would like to keep using DevDiary.me and would like to actively support future development, I am also doing a Special Launch Offer for first 100 Product Hunters. I would be welcoming you to our special Founder's Plan, where you would be involved in every step of DevDiary.me's growth. There will also be a lot of additional benefits which will be revealed in due time.

Thank you for checking out DevDiary.me. Let's make developer journaling more efficient and enjoyable together! 🙌
Looks awesome, can really use something like this. Just wondering why it needs so many write permissions on github:
@idrinth Hey Bjorn, Thank you for checking out DevDiary. I have only enabled write permissions for three things i.e. gists, starring and watching. Currently, I am experimenting on using AI to understand user activity and general preferences. This can help with recommendation algorithm and perform similar action on behalf of the user.
Another important workflow this will help DevDiary perform will be to reduce clutter in your inbox. I generally mute all Github notifications and it is also very difficult to find anything useful through them. So the main objective for them is: How I can improve that experience? I do agree that gists write permission might not be required as much or at all.
But thank you again for the feedback. I will work on trimming down permissions as much as possible. I will also try to add justifications for each permission we ask of the user during authorization process itself.
