Hey Product Hunt Folks! I am Kovid, founding member at typo. Managing engineering productivity is a complex game but not something that we can't handle. Typo helps engineering leaders & managers, to track and improve their teams' productivity while taking care of their well-being. The best part of our product is its foundation itself, the SPACE framework(designed by Microsoft+Github), which provides a comprehensive approach to measuring developer productivity on dimensions like S- Satisfaction and Well-being P- Performance A- Activity C- Communication & Collaboration E- Efficiency & Flow I am hopeful that you will find typo helpful in shipping quality code faster, planning your tech effort spend better, and much more. Try it for yourself and share your feedback with us. We're keen to hear from you and uncover new ways typo can help you manage your tech teams better & 10x their productivity. Thank you for your support!

A big shout out to @kevin for hunting us! πŸ™Œ I am Kshitij - a part-time CEO & a full-time dog dad 🐢. I've built typo with my lifelong buddy @varunvarma91 - who is as crazy as I am to make this world a better place to work. 🌎 How did our journey begin? πŸš€ While being a part of software organisations over the past 10 years, I have closely worked & seen how engineering teams function. Amid the constant chaos of shipping code fast, there has always been a bias or lack of real-time data to support better decision-making, whether it's about work distribution, resource allocation or business impact 🀯 Gone are the days when lines of code, count of commits or DORA metrics can provide real answers to these questions: - Are we delivering high-quality code at a fast pace? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ - Are we investing our effort in the right things? βœ… - Is the workload optimally distributed among developers? πŸ“Š - What's the business impact of our engineering efforts? πŸ’š As even highlighted by SPACE framework, it's the need of the hour to take a holistic approach toward developer productivity & co-relate performance, collaboration & well-being together to drive maximum impact. ♻️ That's how typo was born - the intelligent Engineering Management platform that integrates with your tech tool stack & provides real-time visibility, insights & tools πŸ“ˆ modern software teams need to maximise engineering efficiency. Here's what Engineering Leaders & Managers can achieve with typo: πŸ₯³ - Connect the dots across Git, Issues, Calendar & Slack in 5 minutes - Gain real-time visibility of SDLC metrics across teams/projects - Measure & track effort spends across different work types: Innovation, tech debt, Bugs & more - Get real-time project views highlighting delays, risks, and competing priorities to optimise resource allocation - Identify unhealthy work patterns & keep a tab on developer experience - Create improvement Goals and set alerts to auto-track success rate & highlight exceptions & a lot more... We've just scratched the surface & I promise there is a lot more to come. πŸ₯· We are hell-bent on our mission to crack the tech productivity code & support in building engaged, productive software teams. All we just need is - your constant feedback & support to fuel our mission! πŸ™πŸ» πŸŽ‰ We are here hanging out in the chat threads all day and would love to know your thoughts on typo. Do drop your feedback. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Here’s to building together! 🎁 As a token of our appreciation for this beautiful PH community, we are offering 1 month of free product access + 50% off on first purchase. Lastly, a big shout out to the super amazing typo team for making it a reality, and to Kevin, for hunting us out in this SaaS jungle :) Thank You πŸ˜„

@kevin @varunvarma91 @kshitij_mohan Supercool! Does typo track different parts of cycle time like time to review the PR & improve it?
Kshitij Mohan
Hi @kovid_batra27, yes typo gives a complete breakdown of your Cycle time into 4 phases - Code, Pickup, Review & Merge. You get to see the entire detailing of all these phases along with the automation of alerts & nudges. Would love for you try out & share feedback. Hope this helps!

Hey PH folks - I am Varun, co-founder of typo with @kshitij_mohan. typo enables engineering teams to see the impact of their work on business growth and build meaning into their sprints. It uses meaningful agile metrics to diagnose productivity issues, remove blockers and increase velocity. To summarize, it removes subjectivity from the dev team's performance and uncovers where you need to invest more time & effort to ship software faster to the market. We're eager to hear your thoughts and hope to help you discover how typo can elevate your dev game. Many thanks for your support!
Kshitij Mohan
Thanks buddy @varunvarma91 for believing in our crazy ideas & executing them to perfection. Couldn't have been possible without you. Cheers!

Hi Folks, Hope you are liking typo. I have a quick question for all the supporters, what do you think would be the right strategy after this launch for growth and marketing? @mehdihussen looking forward to some great comments from you.
Nitesh Chandel
Love the product guys, congratulation. What is your hot-selling feature that people love the most?
Kshitij Mohan
Hi @nitesh_chandel61, appreciate your support. The whole idea is to bring a holistic approach to managing engineering teams & driving productivity. Engineering leaders love our investment distribution that allows them to find a balance between work types & track effort spends. Engineering Managers love our work log that helps them manage sprints & daily work better by co-relating JIRA & Git. Developers enjoy our workflow automations that speed up the PR processes. Have you tried any of our features yet?
Nitesh Chandel
@kshitij_mohan I saw your Investment distribution, what level of customization do you provide in that? Can I have my own custom distributions and their custom rules?
Kshitij Mohan
Hi @nitesh_chandel61, this is entirely configurable. You can define your own work types - that could be based on your types of developments, JIRA projects, issue types or anything else. We define custom rules for each category to give you insights that you want. Hope this answers. Cheers! :)
Saloni Jain
@nitesh_chandel61 We are glad you liked our product :)
Ashok Singh
Awesome work guys, can clearly see the hardwork the team has put in. Can you tell me how can it benefit Product Managers or Business Managers?
Kshitij Mohan
Hi @ashok_kumar_singh2, thanks for the support. The biggest challenge PMs face today is - how to manage sprints effectively & get real-time updates on what's happening. That's where typo helps. We have a unique view for PMs where they get to see a co-related real-time data of JIRA & Git helping them stay updated. Also, our predictive algo starts highlighting tasks that are at-risk & need immediate attention. Any thoughts that you have as a PM?
Ashok Singh
@kshitij_mohan I guess this would be great as I really want to know how much dev effort is being put on a task. I'll explore more and will let you know, if I have any queries.
Varun Varma
@ashok_kumar_singh2 Thank you for the support. Typo also identifies the impact of your engineering efforts on the cost of the business which we call investment distribution. It gives you a clear picture of where your team is spending time & cost whether they are roadmap, bugs, refactoring etc.
Satish Kumar
Hats off guys, what a product! Do you have a free version for smaller teams? Can you tell me more about the pricing?
Kshitij Mohan
Hey @satish_kumar23, thanks for the support. Yes, we do have a free version upto 10 member teams. It's free forever with all the features packed. For other teams, the pricing is at $15/user/month with dedicated support & full customisations. Hope this helps! Do give us a try. :)
Saloni Jain
@satish_kumar23 We would love to get you on a demo & then you can start with the free trial. As part of our special PH offer, you will also get 50% off on billing ( pro tip : you can even get annual billing done at 50% off πŸ˜‰ in one go using this offer )
Farhan Tariq
Congratulations on launching Typo on Product Hunt! Your product sounds like a valuable tool for developers who want to improve their coding speed and team productivity. In today's fast-paced tech environment, it's crucial for developers to write efficient code and deploy it quickly. With Typo, it sounds like you're providing a solution that can help developers achieve these goals. Your focus on helping teams work together more productively is also important, as collaboration is key to delivering high-quality software.
Kshitij Mohan
Hi @farhan_tariq, thanks for supporting us on the launch. You've well justified what we are trying to achieve with typo. Idea is to bring efficiency at every level of engineering teams - right from Engineering leaders, managers to developers. Would love for you to try out the product & share feedback. Cheers!
Kovid Batra
@farhan_tariq Thanks for comment & support. Yes. the new definition of dev productivity is Productivity + Well-being. You must check out the SPACE framework, which is the foundation of typo as well.
Anirudh Joshi
Very promising tool to have. Just curious what about the security of the product itself? Does it have the required complainces? Can you name a few?
Kshitij Mohan
Hi @anirudh_joshi1, thanks for showing your support. We take user privacy & security very seriously. We are SOC2 & GDPR compliant with all best encryption standards in place. We follow a process of 6-monthly audits to ensure we always stay updated with our security practices. Is there anything specific that you would like to highlight?
Saloni Jain
@anirudh_joshi1 Good question, Also we only need access to your code stack data for these insights & now the entire code base :)
Jasper Ruijs
Hey Kshitij, Great video, a cheerful cookie popup, and great UX! Some Questions: 1. Does asking for other integration like Asana, Trello, etc., besides Jira makes sense? πŸ™Œ 2. Why did you choose the trial approach, not freemium, as other product-led companies do in your industry? 3. Have you already automated a LinkedIn flow to connect with Product Managers on LinkedIn and CTOs? 4. Would it be more pleasant if all Github repositories are automatically synced instead of vice versa? 5. Is it interesting to have a button add team member instead of add team? 6. Should the snapshot data not also be on the home page? 7. the snapshot data be renamed to (advanced) data analytics/metrics? 8. Since there are a lot of different functionalities, does it make sense to make a quick onboarding tutorial when you log in for the first time? 9. Does it make sense that the welcome email is sent twice? 10. Would an image/illustration make the welcome email more friendly? Great launch; I hope you will stay #1 today! πŸ”₯
Varun Varma
@jas801 Hey Jasper, thank you for the support. I am answering your queries below - 1) We have integrations with JIRA but other tools are on the roadmap & will be released soon. 2) The freemium model is applicable for teams of up to 10 people. Post that, we give a 30 day trial period for large teams 3) That's a great suggestion! We can look into it 4) It is user-controlled where you can select a few repositories or can add all. 5) Yes, it's there in the settings 6) The home page section summarizes the entire data insights (like a snapshot) 7) Good suggestion! 8) It's a work in progress - it will be released shortly 9) I am sorry - that's a miss! We are looking into it on priority. Thanks for highlighting it. 10) Yes, definitely. We will definitely add one to our emails. Thanks for the feedback. Those are some really good questions for us to work on!
Kshitij Mohan
Sure @nachi, saw your note. Let's connect next week. Happy to explore & see how it helps!
Kshitij Mohan
Also @nachi, do you support integrations with CI/CD tools?

Congratulations! Are there any tangible outcomes in terms of ROI that we can get through typo?
Kshitij Mohan
HI @ankit442, thanks for you support. The foundation of typo lies in bringing objectivity to the entire process. Here are few of the tangible outcomes that you directly achieve with typo: - Cost/effort level spilts across work types to give you clear picture of the work done against the business impact created - Clear actionable improvement goals to see the direct impact on efficiency & a lot more. Would love to show you the demo of the product & understand your feedback. Feel free to ping if there are any further questions. Cheers!
Varun Varma
@ankit442 Great question! The RoI is defined by a reduction in the cost over the time spent on engineering with a decrease in the cycle time of software shipping. This kind of correlation is what we talk about

Hey @rana_phool, appreciate your support. We are very focused on taking an objective approach to help build engaged, high-performing teams. Would love for you to try out the product & see how it helps in improving your SDLC metrics. Please feel free to ping me here. Would love to have your product feedback. Cheers!
Kovid Batra
Hey @rana_phool, Thanks for your support. Starting from critical metrics like cycle time and the root cause affecting it like higher PR review time or higher pick-up time is clearly visible for you to take action and set up the right improvement goals for your team. All from a single dashboard! This is one of the ways how typo helps improve dev productivity. There is more to it that we can discuss. Let us know if you would like to set up a call with us. kovid@typoapp.io.

Steeve
Interesting service to have an overview of the team's productivity. However, I'm unsure if we need a tool to prevent "Developer burnout". What about listening, discussing and being compassionate daily? (And not only developers, for everyone) Congrats on the launch @varunvarma91
Kshitij Mohan
Hey @steevep, such a valid point. In ideal scenario, listening, discussing & being compassionate are the things that we should be practicing on daily basis. But surprisingly, in the midst of all daily chaos, this tends to get missed. Hence, we have built typo in a way that sends these early signals of things that are missing on daily basis & needs to be improved in order to maintain a healthy work environment. Typo is an enabler with the right data points to help you stay on track & build productive teams. And, yes this is applicable for all teams - we've just started with engineering ones. Hope this answers. Would love to know your thoughts!
Nikhil Goyal
Do you have integration with Linear or planning one ?
Kshitij Mohan
Hey @nikhil_goyal4, yes - absolutely. We are already working on the Linear integration & will be live by next month. Would love for you to try out the product then & share your feedback! :)
Saloni Jain
@nikhil_goyal4 I will add you to our product update list so that you will be first to know when we are live with Linear integration :)
