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!
Congrats on launching GitPodcast: Private Mode! From bestofweb .site I’m fascinated by your idea of explaining codebases through podcasts.
No way, turning GitHub repos into podcasts is genius! I always struggle to get the gist of big codebases—listening on my commute would be a total game-changer. How customizable are the podcasts?

Who hunted GitPodcast: Private Mode?
GitPodcast: Private Mode was hunted by manish kumar. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
