Nice work! It would be cool if you pulled my commits for the day and showed them in the log. I experimented with a similar idea (https://github.com/samertm/githubstreaks), and it's a lot of fun to see a detailed breakdown of your commits and the commits your friends make.

Thanks for the comment! I've got a plan of integrating with Github, just trying to decide how it should work as I wouldn't want my commits from work showing up which are on the same github account.

Do you think it'd work well if I implemented something to allow picking a commit for a daily entry or would you prefer more automatic tracking?

I think automatic tracking of public repositories for now would do ok ( if you can check on that). I wouldn't do "picking commits", because people mostly won't do that.

Nice project!

Perhaps automatic tracking could have the option to exclude certain repos?

Thanks for the feedback, glad you said tracking public repositories as that's something I thought might work well as mostly peoples work is in private repos

Sounds like a good idea, need to figure out how the management of that would work though without being a PITA ;) Thanks for the idea, much appreciated!

It would be cool if there was a complementary app that goes like this:

It teaches you using a hands-on approach about coding/algorithms/sys admin from beginner to expert level. Then it offers you a bunch of roadmaps on what exercise you should do next to build on the current skills you have.

Even more it would be cool that it would find the weak spots on your current skills and allow you to go back to previous exercises to improve that skill.

Wouldn't that be helpful?
