Reporter
A local-first app to keep your GitHub traffic history.
GitHub deletes your repository traffic data after 14 days. Repo-rter solves this by caching your data locally. Track views, clones, and release downloads forever with a privacy-first, lightweight Tauri app.
Hi Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm the maker of Repo-rter. As an open-source maintainer, I always wanted to keep my repository's traffic stats, but GitHub's native 14-day limit was incredibly frustrating. I didn't want to pay for a SaaS subscription just for basic traffic storage, so I spent the last few weeks building a local-first alternative.
Repo-rter stores your views, clones, and release downloads permanently on your machine. Everything runs locally, so your GitHub token is 100% private.
I'd love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or feature requests. Thank you so much for checking it out! ⭐️
Keeping the data locally is great, but what about syncing it across machines when devs work from a laptop and a desktop. Could you add an optional encrypted sync through something like a personal S3 bucket or WebDAV. That way the history stays truly portable without sending it through your own servers.
One thing that would make this way more useful for me is the ability to set a custom retention period for the cached data, or maybe an auto-purge option after X days. Some folks might want to keep everything forever for trend analysis, while others probably care more about keeping their local storage lean. Either way, giving users control over that would be a nice touch.
