We have been using Meridian ourselves, and it’s solving a problem we were constantly running into.
As developers, we’d often reach the end of the day and try to write our daily updates.
The problem was that we could remember the big things we worked on, but not all the context around them.
We’d forget:
what we spent time debugging
why we made certain decisions
which issues came up unexpectedly
how much time went into code reviews
the small fixes and investigations that never made it into Jira
all the context behind a commit or PR
We were basically reconstructing our own day from GitHub, Jira, Slack, browser history and memory.
So we started using Meridian.
It automatically captures our development activity and turns it into a timeline and daily worklog.
Now, instead of spending time trying to remember “what did I actually do today?”, we can just look at what Meridian captured.
That was the original problem we wanted to solve for ourselves, and using it every day has made us realize how much engineering work normally gets lost between planned tasks and completed tickets.
We launched Meridian on Product Hunt today and are currently #1 Product of the Day 🚀
But honestly, getting other developers to use it and tell us where it falls short is much more exciting.
If you’re a developer, I’d love to know:
How do you currently create your daily updates or worklogs?
