Thanks for sharing! Seeing someone building something similar and being successful is incredibly energizing. I had doubts that it would be something folks would actually be interested in using.

My pleasure! I've got a few more thoughts that came up.

It would be nice to know more about how I would interface with your product. It's not clear if it's a daily report, if it's a text box where I ask "What did Intern #3 work on last week?", if it's a chronological page, or something else.

Do different people get different answers? Would a CEO get a different answer than an engineer if they asked what the devops team worked on? Basically do you offer different levels of granularity for different user profiles.

Love the project and looking forward to watching it grow!

I'm working on FreeInChicago, a site for finding all the free activities to do in the city.

I love Chicago and the incredible wealth of free festivals, museums, public art, music, parks, workshops, and so many more activities available to appreciate. I've found there isn't a good way to discover them though so I'm building the tool that I've always wanted. Right now I have a landing page up, have done some work on sourcing data, and I'm working towards defining a discovery interface.

From my perspective as a dev, the question I find myself always asking is "Who's the SME that can I ask about this code that still works here?" So for me the benefit of your project would be using it basically as an intelligent git blame that says who's done what to a particular line/file/module/project, and why. If that SME isn't available anymore, I'd like your tool to help me build context around the issue I'm working on. I'd want to see at least git commit message history and authors included in the available knowledge. If the repo has docs included, even better.

Another reason I would want git history included is because I think it would make your product more valuable quicker. I see your tool as a way to improve the dev culture by promoting the points you mentioned, but it's not clear how long it takes it to start to pay off and be able to answer some of the more historical questions you've suggested. I question, if my team had poor/nonexistent PRs in the past, when would I be able to get any use out of it, and would there always be blindspots around code that didn't have a good PR.

Does it only work on PRs, or does it look at git history as well? Do you have plans to expand the knowledge it has access to?

Where was that stated? In the press conference they said Boeing deferred to NASA to make the decision because they had a better perspective on the entire landscape of the problem.

I had to switch off silent mode on iPhone for audio to work. Any chance it’s the same issue for you?

What would be some other examples?

I was able to find it on the latest macos by opening up preferences and searching for "scroll". It's under Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad/Mouse Options

Have you looked at a vertical mouse? It solved many of the same frustrations I had
