Hi HN,

I built DevReplay because I kept forgetting what I actually shipped. With AI speeding things up I’m multitasking more than ever, jumping between branches, experiments and side projects. A week later I couldn’t remember what I’d changed or why.

DevReplay connects to GitHub and gives you a simple “developer memory”: • Free tier: shows a clean event list (commits, PRs, comments) • $5/month: AI-generated daily summaries • Explore what you shipped by day • Understand what changed and why • Helpful for context switching and async work

It’s also surprisingly useful for indie projects and build-in-public updates (I’ve been using it to remember what I worked on across multiple side projects).

Link: https://devreplay.com

I’d really appreciate feedback: • Anything confusing? • Does the pricing feel reasonable? • What would make this more useful for teams or indies?

Happy to answer technical details (Rails 8, Hotwire, SQLite, etc.).

Thanks for reading!
