GitCredit – Universal Contribution Graph

A tool that generates GitHub-style contribution graphs for git repositories outside of GitHub. Developers want to visualize their coding activity across personal projects, self-hosted repos, or non-GitHub platforms. This creates a portable contribution history that works anywhere.

Git activity visualization beyond GitHub has real tailwind right now as GitLab, Forgejo, and self-hosted Gitea instances grow among privacy-conscious developers and enterprises avoiding Microsoft's ecosystem. Gitstreak and a handful of open-source scripts already do parts of this, so the incumbent isn't a funded competitor — it's the free alternative on GitHub itself. The $500–2k/mo ceiling is believable but tight: most individual developers won't pay for vanity graphs, so revenue depends on finding a B2B angle like team dashboards or developer portfolios for hiring, which changes the product significantly. The single most likely failure mode is that the core use case — a prettier contribution graph — turns out to be a feature, not a product, and free tools absorb the demand before any paid tier gains traction.
