Turn GitHub activity into clean, shareable developer updates.
BuildLog helps developers turn real work into usable content for platforms like LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and Discord without exposing private repos or relying on generic post templates. It uses structured logic, activity scoring, and GitHub data to turn messy commit history into clearer public-facing updates.
BuildLog helps with the annoying part of building in public:
- turning GitHub activity into something worth posting
- reducing commit noise
- highlighting recent work first
- keeping older history available when needed
- generating platform-ready drafts without exposing private work
Instead of dumping raw commits into a post, BuildLog pulls activity, cleans it up, prioritizes meaningful signals, and generates a more usable summary.
- Public GitHub activity lookup by username
- Private GitHub activity via OAuth
- Recent activity prioritized by recency
- Expandable older activity history
- Progressive loading for larger activity lists
- Commit cleanup and deduplication
- Theme grouping for work types like UI, auth, fixes, generation logic, and more
- Lightweight signal scoring to prioritize more meaningful work
- Platform-ready draft generation for:
- X
- Discord
- Responsive Flutter web interface
- Local persistence for username, mode, selected platform, and token
- Copy-to-clipboard post output
BuildLog does more than reformat commit messages.
- pulls recent GitHub activity
- filters noisy or less useful commit data
- cleans and deduplicates commit messages
- sorts activity with recent work first
- classifies commit messages into work themes
- scores stronger signals higher than low-value updates
- prioritizes the most meaningful work
- generates a cleaner summary instead of a raw commit dump
This keeps the output more useful for developers who want to share progress without sounding robotic or exposing internal details.
- Frontend: Flutter Web
- Backend: Netlify Functions
- API: GitHub REST API
- Auth: GitHub OAuth
- State/Persistence: Shared Preferences
- Logic Layer: structured summarization + lightweight scoring system
- Enter a GitHub username in public mode or connect GitHub in private mode
- BuildLog fetches recent activity
- Commit messages are cleaned, deduplicated, and grouped
- Signals are scored to prioritize stronger updates
- A platform-specific draft is generated
- Copy and share anywhere
BuildLog is set up for deployment on Netlify.
- Update GitHub OAuth callback URLs to match your deployed domain
- Store OAuth credentials in Netlify environment variables
- Rebuild and redeploy after updates
- Public GitHub activity integration
- Private GitHub OAuth connection
- Responsive UI
- Recency-first activity feed
- Expandable older history
- Smarter post generation with signal scoring
- Stronger theme detection and scoring improvements
- Better platform-specific formatting
- Saved drafts
- Browser extension
- Direct posting integrations
- More advanced ML-assisted summarization
BuildLog keeps things simple and secure:
- GitHub OAuth is used for authentication
- Passwords are never stored
- Client secrets stay server-side in Netlify functions
- Private repos are not exposed in generated output
- No unnecessary user data is stored
BuildLog only uses the GitHub data needed to generate activity summaries.
