Trace connects to your GitHub and turns real engineering activity into launch content. It finds the stories hidden in commits, PRs, and repo progress, then generates content angles, weekly summaries, and ready-to-post drafts for X, LinkedIn, and launch updates. Built for founders and builders who want to build in public without manually translating every commit into content.
Hey Product Hunt, I’m Dante, the founder of Trace.
I built Trace because I kept seeing builders ship real progress on GitHub, then struggle to explain that progress publicly.
Every commit, PR, and repo update usually contains a story: what changed, why it mattered, what problem was solved, or what users will notice. But turning that engineering work into launch updates, X posts, LinkedIn posts, and weekly build-in-public content is manual and easy to ignore.
Trace connects to your GitHub, finds the stories hidden in your engineering activity, and turns them into content angles, summaries, and ready-to-post drafts.
The goal is simple: help builders share what they are building without turning content into another full-time job.
I’d love feedback on the positioning, the GitHub-to-content workflow, and what you’d want Trace to generate next.
One thing that would make Trace even better is letting me pick a specific repo or timeframe to pull from, since some commits are internal cleanup and not really launch-worthy. Right now I'm guessing it just grabs everything.
Hooked up my GitHub and it actually pulled a real narrative out of a messy sprint I’d never bother writing about. The drafts feel like a starting point, not generic AI slop, which was a nice surprise.
pulled a quick test with a repo and the weekly summary actually sounded like me instead of a template, which was a nice surprise
Pulled my repo in and it actually surfaced angles I wouldn't have thought to post about, like tying a small refactor to a bigger roadmap shift. Surprised how on-tone the drafts felt for both X and LinkedIn without me babysitting them.
