Chummy
The Missing Extension for Github
I'm launching my very first product on Indie Hackers! I've been an avid listener of the podcast and this feels like a huge milestone for me.
Things I've learned on the journey from Ideation to Launch:
- Launch earlier. If you're not embarrassed by your product at launch, you've launched too late.
- Take a breather. Sometimes giving yourself a few days away from the project will give you the much needed perspective to improve your product.
- Listen to feedback. Have an open mind when receiving both good and bad feedback.
Looking forward to the road ahead!
We've soft launched Chummy on Product Hunt, Reddit, Github, and more! I decided to spread it across multiple days so that I can understand which channels are contributing the most.

As someone who loves to work on side projects, I’ve always had a love hate relationship with GitHub. GitHub is a place where you can put on many kinds of hats. You can be a lone coder putting up personal websites, a regular contributor to an open source project that is business critical for top tech companies, a student collaborating with peers on a grad school project, a professional software engineer maintaining open sourced projects, or your average Joe lurker.
There's a place for everyone, but using Github isn't the friendliest experience for everyone. When I used it for my projects, I was jumping between tabs, repositories, getting lost in my branches, etc. and I wished there was a more streamlined process for working with a fairly popular platform used by millions.
I started Chummy to address my own pain points with Github, but it has become a collection of features that I've had requested from friends and coworkers who've validated my own frustrations with Github. Chummy's a continuously growing toolbox, so please leave some feedback so that we can make Github work for you.
Thank you, and enjoy Chummy!
