This seems very niche - but niche is what's next, as see it; tooo many copycat no-code things being released now. Best of luck with this!

@osakasaul Thank you, Saul! And agree, we need to create products that help specific people.

@enricbaltasar Curious, did this come out of your own need? In other words, are you looking for visibility for your growing team? (I have nothing to sell you, btw; I just know that feeling, relatable, if this is the case.)
Share your story - we love them in PH!

@osakasaul Strongly agree. Niche tools are where the real value is now.
I’m building one myself: Swytchcode, an AI layer that lives inside API docs to help developers understand endpoints and generate workflows quickly.
Would love to get your thoughts on this space sometime. Happy to connect!
Oh, this product instantly hit me. I usually just browse other launches and bounce, but with this one I went straight to the website and pasted my GitHub repo link. It quickly surfaced a bunch of issues I didn’t even know about. This is exactly the kind of product people need. If you could add a bit more guidance on what to do next, that would make it even better. Anyway, great job!
Nakora
@museteller Thanks for your positive and constructive feedback! Do you happen to have any ideas that could further help repo owners with the next-step guidance?
Instant hook. I tossed in my repo and got back a surprisingly helpful audit—stuff I never would’ve caught. Add a bit more "what to do next" hand-holding and this becomes a must-use tool. Congrats on the launch!
Nakora
@xd_orz Thanks! Got any ideas that could help with the hand-holding for the next steps?
Swytchcode
Congrats on the launch!
Let me give you another pain point for GitHub developers (as you are spreading awareness).
Recently, many GitHub accounts have been suspended. People are experiencing sudden lockouts from their GitHub accounts, wiping out their life's work in mere seconds without prior warning. GitHub support fails to properly address these issues, leading to delays of weeks or months, or in the worst case, no response at all. The GitHub community itself lacks a voice in the process.
The support team emails you to comply with their terms and conditions, which you don't even know what you violated, as it's so huge.
If you can prepare some easy guidelines, it'll be really helpful to the people. Just an idea out of my frustration.
Nakora
@chilarai Thanks for the idea. I can understand that can be extremely frustrating.
Swytchcode
@enricbaltasar Yes. The worst part is, I advocated GitHub over all other services, and then they suspended my account (incl. my org's) just 3 days before my PH launch, leaving me in limbo. Many of my old repos are lost forever with no backup.
I'm moving to GitLab and never publishing to GitHub again.

Interesting! I just applied a few of the proposed improvements to watchflow - curious to see how it affects visibility. I’ll be back with the results soon!

It’d be great if the tool also suggested the most appropriate tags for each repo. Also curious - is the analysis deterministic, or is there some agentic logic running behind the scenes?
Nakora
@dkargatzis Hope it helps, Dimitris!
There's someone who applied the mini-tool suggestions before the launch and it worked for him to get a little push. Obviously getting more repo visibility depends on several factors and this tool is just one of the "legs" for that.
Regarding your question on the logic, it's essentially deterministic, and the inner working is interconnected. I use AI but overall I apply patterns I reverse-engineered after analyzing what some devtool companies are doing successfully, data-based research, and added a little bit of creativity to define user guidance in a pedagogic way.
Btw, yes, I'd be able to give more customized and qualified tag suggestions, and that would be amazing. That said, for the launch I decided to be implement only basic tag farming and get earlier feedback.

Thanks, I used the tips I got from your app, I forgot about tags for my project at all😅
Nakora
@shahar_shalev Glad the tool raises awareness and helps you :)
This project could be really helpful to devs indeed. And honestly speaking, I really learned a lot via this app. As a dev, it's not very uncommon to forget the techniques to maximize the visibility of repos that took hours or days to build.
Nakora
@rickyguo Awesome 🙌
That's exactly how I thought this tool could help devs and devtools.
And imagine having more of similar mini-tools as a combined resources for devs... that would be even better :)
Nakora
@rickyguo Just added you on LinkedIn. Would be happy to hear your ideas or insights.
I plan to keep launching mini-tools for devs.

This looks really useful! Repo visibility is one of those things you don't think about until you realize nobody's finding your work. Congrats on the launch!
Nakora
@alejandroesquivel Thank you, Alejandro! As someone who knows the challenges of handling both creation and distribution, I hope this tool helps some folks.
GitHub Repo Visibility Analyzer is a total win for devs with hidden gems! Helping repos get noticed in GitHub searches, Google, and even LLMs with topic tag suggestions? As someone whose side projects always feel invisible, this is exactly what I need. Quick ask: How does it handle niche tech stacks—like when my repo’s built with a super specific framework?
Nakora
@movieflow_nann The tool uses AI to understand nicheness, and checks currently competing repos.
