Git release visualization tool

Create better ways to visualize software release histories. For open-source maintainers managing complex projects.

Why now

As software grows more complex, traditional changelogs fail to communicate release impact.

Who for
Software maintainers
Business model
Open-core model
Effort
A few weeks

Developers struggle to understand how features evolved across releases in complex repos.

A visualization tool that maps commit history to version tags and release notes.

Open-source projects would pay for better documentation tools to attract contributors.

MVP could visualize a single project's history from GitHub API data.

Risk: May duplicate features of existing project management tools.
