What We Do
& Why

Understanding GitHub contribution impact shouldn't be a mystery. We built Impact Player to make it crystal clear.

What We Do

Impact Player is a GitHub contribution analysis platform that helps developers and teams understand their true impact within organizations. We transform raw GitHub data into actionable insights through:

  • Comprehensive Metrics: 60+ metrics covering PR flow, review behavior, activity patterns, and more
  • AI-Powered Analysis: Personalized insights about your contribution style, strengths, and areas for improvement
  • Visual Dashboards: Beautiful charts and visualizations that make complex data easy to understand
  • Team Collaboration: See how you work with others through review networks and collaboration graphs
  • Contributor Ranking: Compare your impact across your organization

Why We Built This

As developers ourselves, we've experienced the frustration of not knowing how our contributions are perceived. Traditional metrics like commit counts or lines of code don't tell the full story. We built Impact Player to solve three core problems:

Problem 1: Invisible Impact

Great code reviews, helpful PR feedback, and mentoring contributions often go unnoticed. Impact Player makes these contributions visible and measurable.

Problem 2: Misleading Metrics

Raw numbers don't show quality, collaboration, or efficiency. We analyze PR flow, merge rates, review patterns, and time-to-merge to give you the full picture.

Problem 3: Lack of Self-Awareness

Many developers don't know their contribution patterns. Are you a fast merger? A thorough reviewer? Do you work better on certain days? Impact Player reveals these patterns with AI-powered insights.
