I just launched LaunchLogs: A simple tool that turns your GitHub commits into daily build in public updates

Today I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on for the past few months. I built LaunchLogs to solve a problem I kept running into as a solo founder: I was building every day, but I wasn’t sharing my progress consistently.

Writing updates took time. I was usually tired at the end of the day, or I’d forget until the next morning. So my marketing was inconsistent even though the actual work was happening nonstop.

LaunchLogs fixes that.

It connects to your GitHub repo and creates clean, simple, human readable daily progress logs based on your commits. You can use those logs for your build in public posts on X or LinkedIn, or display them on a public profile to keep yourself accountable and visible.

Who it’s for:
• Indie hackers
• Solo SaaS founders
• Builders who want to stay consistent
• Makers who want an easier way to share progress

What it helps with:
• Staying consistent with build in public
• Showing daily progress without needing to write from scratch
• Tracking streaks and staying motivated
• Sharing wins even on small days

If you want to check it out or see examples, here is the site: https://www.launchlogs.com/

I’d genuinely love feedback from this community. What would make this more useful for you. What would help you share more consistently.

Happy to answer any questions about the build, the idea, or the launch.

Thanks for reading.

    The "too tired at end of day to write updates" problem is real. I've been manually writing my Build in Public posts and it definitely takes more energy than it should.

    What caught my attention is how you're turning raw commits into human-readable logs. That translation layer is the hard part — commits are often cryptic ("fix bug", "update styles") but updates need context.

    Building something similar conceptually for content aggregation — taking raw tech articles and turning them into structured summaries. The challenge is the same: how do you preserve meaning while transforming format?

    Curious: do users edit the generated logs before posting, or do most publish them as-is? That would tell you a lot about how good the translation is getting.

    Congrats Albert, this is super impressive!
    You tackled a problem many indie founders face, and LaunchLogs already feels like a tool people will return to daily.

    I also noticed a few opportunities on the website where a clearer structure and stronger messaging could help convert more visitors.
    If you’re open to it. As a product designer, I’d love to offer a polished redesign aimed at improving clarity, trust, and overall conversion.

    Should you want to move forward, I can prepare a quick breakdown document that covers:

    • What’s working really well on the current landing page
    • What could be enhanced
    • Suggestions for a more engaging and professional look

    Happy to support your project in any way — and congratulations again on the launch!

    Hey Albert, this is awesome! LaunchLogs is such a clever way to keep sharing progress without the hassle of writing updates daily. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to stay motivated and consistent while building. Can’t wait to see it in action—great job!

    Congrats on the launch! 🎉 LaunchLogs sounds like a neat way to keep your audience updated with GitHub commits—simple, transparent, and effective.

    Awesome post, Cairne! This is a perfect example of the 'building in public' spirit.

    I really resonate with your mission. You took something complex (3D modeling's 'massive learning curve') and built a simple, 'no-fluff' SaaS that anyone can use. That's so valuable.

    I'm on a similar journey with my new project, 'The Solopreneur's Playbook.' My whole mission is to find and share the simple, actionable 'plays' that help solopreneurs (like us!) avoid that exact feeling of overwhelm.

    The tool looks fantastic, especially the multi-format export. This is super inspiring for someone just starting out. Great job on the launch!

    LaunchLogs looks like a handy way for solo founders to share progress without extra writing. Turning GitHub commits into daily updates feels like a smart way to keep building in public simple. Curious which features are most useful for staying consistent.

    Super cool launch! Turning GitHub commits into clean daily updates is such a smart way to remove the friction from building in public. Consistency is everything, but it’s also the hardest part — this makes it almost effortless. Excited to see how LaunchLogs grows!

  8. 1

    LaunchLogs is a great solution for solo founders wanting to share consistent progress without extra effort. Automating daily updates from GitHub commits is smart and really helps keep the build in public momentum going. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

    That’s a really neat launch! I love how LaunchLogs turns GitHub commits into a living public narrative. As someone who’s built AI-native dev tooling, I see how powerful that flow can be.

    I built my own app, ScrumBuddy, where we also tie deeply into GitHub via a GitHub App integration: whenever a pull request is opened, our AI reviews the diff against coding standards, flags issues, and explains why something is problematic. Developers can accept, reject, or ask for rework. The final code actually gets pushed back into the repo only when the review clears. That makes PRs feel less like a chore and more like a conversation.

    Your tool helps devs document their journey; tools like ours help teams build with rigor. Together, we’re closing the loop between introspection and execution - which is very cool.
