Hey DevHunt builders! 👋 I'm Jem, creator of VelocyTrack. As engineers and tech leads, we all know the Friday timesheet dread: opening a generic spreadsheet or clunky corporate portal to guess how many hours we spent on which ticket. Meanwhile, our real day-to-day work is scattered across Azure DevOps work items, pull requests, git branches, and sprint boards. Generic timesheet tools don't understand code, and DevOps boards don't do developer-friendly time tracking. ### 🚀 What is VelocyTrack? VelocyTrack is a developer-first engineering cockpit and time intelligence platform built to bridge that gap: - ⏱️ **Frictionless Time Logging:** Log effort directly against work items with active branch, PR, and commit association. - 🎯 **Sprint & Backlog Accounting:** Real-time burn-down, velocity metrics, and actuals vs. remaining capacity without manual overhead. - 📥 **Unified Engineering Inbox:** Aggregate assigned work items, pending PR reviews, and @mentions across project spaces in one feed. - 🏖️ **Sprint Capacity & Absences:** Team availability, public holidays, and PTO integrated directly into your sprint capacity calculations. - 🔒 **Zero Source Code Storage:** We never clone or store your source code. All live queries interact strictly with official APIs via AES-256 encrypted credentials, and diff previews are rendered transiently in browser memory. - ⚡ **1-Click Instant Sandbox:** Test drive the full application in seconds with pre-seeded demo telemetry—zero sign-up, credit card, or permissions needed. ### 🗺️ Integration Roadmap We launched Phase 1 with native, deep **Azure DevOps (ADO)** support (repos, boards, iterations, PRs, and work items). GitHub, GitLab, and Jira multi-platform aggregation are actively in progress for Phase 2. ### 🎁 For the DevHunt Community - ⚡ **Instant Sandbox**: Click "Instant Demo" on the homepage to explore the cockpit immediately without logging in. - 🚀 **Claim Your Beta Spot**: Enter your work email to receive an instant, automated onboarding link for your Azure DevOps organization. - 🎟️ **Founder Early-Bird Offer**: Beta members and everyone who signs up during our initial release get **50% off year one** on our Pro tier. The beta instance remains free for as long as you help us improve it. I'd love your candid feedback and thoughts: 1. What’s the biggest friction point in your team's current sprint and time-tracking workflow? 2. Which platform integration (GitHub, GitLab, or Jira) should we prioritize next? Thanks for checking out VelocyTrack! 🙌
