I’ve been watching the micro-SaaS space, and the biggest unspoken trust killer for solo founders is the fear of "zombie software."
It turns out that ~70% of checkouts get abandoned due to a lack of trust signals. 1 in 5 people will abandon a page simply because it doesn't feel secure. For indie software, "secure" means knowing the founder didn't abandon the project 6 months ago.Users find your tool, they're ready to drop money on a yearly sub, but they have no clue if anyone is actually still home.
GitPulse bridges that gap. It gives founders a way to prove their project is alive and gives users peace of mind before hitting "subscribe".
Privacy note: It only reads metadata. For paid users, it processes commit messages on the fly to classify work (e.g., "Maintenance", "Features"), but it never reads, stores, or caches your actual source code. You can even anonymize private repos to show activity without revealing the project name.
