Show HN: Bldbtr – Business Intelligence for Engineers

Hey all! I'm building a BI environment for software teams. As a manager, my biggest frustration with comparable tools is 1) they're built for product managers as "software delivery metrics" and 2) their metrics are prescriptive and dictate process.

BLDBTR is a BI environment that gives teams full control over their data. It decouples performance metrics from process and structure so that as your org or code structure changes, your metrics can change with you. At one org, we moved from functional teams to a project based, matrix type org structure and only needed to adjust a few group by queries in the chart builder.

Having this tool has also allowed me to see stats that I otherwise wouldn't have or would need to manually compile. For instance, how much do my managers code? Are my contractors worth the investment? How long does it take a new engineer to ramp up - and what does the ramp up look like? Whether you're an engineer, manager, or executive, you can see the metrics that are the most meaningful to you.

Right now, it's integrated with Github, but I'd love to talk to more people about the tool before opening it up. Let me know what you think!
