When we first launched Gitpodcast, the feedback was amazing, but two requests came up constantly: "Can I use this on my private repos?" and "Could you add a visual component?"
Today, I'm stoked to say we've delivered on both.
Gitpodcast is back on Product Hunt with:
🔐 Private Repo Support: Get podcast overviews for your work projects, secret side-hustles, and any private codebase on GitHub.
🖼️ Slideshow Overview: As you listen to the 5-minute podcast, you'll now see an auto-generated slideshow that provides a visual guide to the project.
Our mission remains the same: help developers understand codebases faster. It’s still open-source, free, and as simple as changing github.com to gitpodcast.com.
Thanks for all the early support. Let me know what you think of V2!
