Gitog

I recently started doing targeted outreach to developers for Gitog.

Gitog is a tool that creates a portfolio website from your GitHub profile and projects, so you can quickly share a professional portfolio with recruiters or anyone else.

So far, I've sent around 100 emails.

I've already had a few positive replies from people interested in trying the product, and around 4–5 visitors have come from those emails.

One thing I noticed is that people don't always click right away. Some only visit the website several days later.

I'm curious to see what happens if I keep this up consistently for a month. I'll share the results once I have more data.

The Gitog project started from a simple and specific need: having a portfolio quickly without spending hours coding or maintaining it.

The idea is simple: developers already have their projects on GitHub, but they are not always presented in the best way for recruiters, clients, or anyone who wants to discover their work. Gitog allows you to generate a clean portfolio page quickly, without the effort of building one from scratch.

Since its launch a few weeks ago, the project has evolved a lot. I’m now mainly focused on getting users to test it and sharing the project through different acquisition channels, especially Reddit and, more recently, direct email outreach.

I started this approach about two days ago and I have already received some feedback. I’ll be able to properly evaluate this strategy after a few weeks, or around a month.

For now, my goal is simply to reach the first 10 users. I’m not looking for explosive growth, but rather steady progress by improving the product step by step based on feedback.

I’m also continuing to document the journey and the evolution of the project. If you’re interested, feel free to follow the progress or try Gitog.

Hi everyone,

I’m starting my SaaS journey and I wanted to share my project: Gitog.

Gitog is a tool that transforms your GitHub profile into a clean, beautiful, and presentable portfolio in just a few minutes.

The goal is simple: help developers showcase their projects without having to build a website from scratch, code a portfolio, or spend time constantly updating it.

To find my first users, I started by testing Reddit, which helped me get my first feedback and learn from real users.

But instead of relying only on posts that might go viral, I’m now looking for more scalable ways to grow the project.

I’m thinking about trying cold email to reach developers who could actually benefit from Gitog.

If you have ideas about user acquisition for a SaaS, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Hello, I launched Gitog, a simple tool.

Do you need a portfolio in the next few hours because you don’t have one yet, or because yours is outdated? Gitog transforms your GitHub into a portfolio that you can use to apply for jobs or share your projects with anyone.

It’s useful because I also always had the same problem: I was too lazy to keep my portfolio updated. It could stay unchanged for weeks while my projects kept moving forward.

Since the launch, the project has continued to evolve. I received a lot of feedback that helped me improve the product, understand what wasn’t working, what was unclear, or what people didn’t fully understand. I improved the landing page, the features, the design — basically everything that helps a SaaS grow.

Creating a SaaS means constantly improving your project: listening to users, understanding their problems, and trying to make things better every day.

I also started doing outreach on Reddit to find my first users. That’s where I had to start learning how to convince people. I went from being a developer to someone trying to sell a product, which is a pretty different experience.

But with practice, I think my sales skills are improving little by little, and I believe the first sales will come in the next few weeks.

The project is moving forward slowly. I’m not necessarily looking for a big viral moment, but rather constant improvement, building something step by step and trying to create real value.

Try Gitog, and if you like it, become a user. Your feedback will also help me continue improving the product.

I hope it can be useful to you 🚀

Hey everyone,

I recently launched Gitog, a small tool I built to solve a problem I had myself.

When you build projects on GitHub, sharing your work can be a bit frustrating. You usually end up sending multiple links, or just your GitHub profile, but it doesn’t always present your projects in the best way.

Gitog turns your GitHub projects into a simple portfolio you can share in minutes — useful when you need to show your work to a recruiter, a client, or anyone interested in what you build.

The product is live, and now I’m facing the next challenge: finding the first users.

I’ve started sharing it in a few communities and reaching out to developers. After a little more than a week, I’ve had around 119 visitors, which is a good start, but getting the first users and first sales is definitely the hardest part.

For people who have launched SaaS before:

• How did you find your first users?

• Which channels worked best for you?

If you think it could be useful for developers, feel free to check it out or share it with someone who might need it.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Gitog — 1 week reflection after launch 🚀

One week ago, I launched Gitog, a tool that turns GitHub projects into a developer portfolio.

I built the MVP in one week and launched it quickly to get feedback.

The response was encouraging, but I quickly realized something was missing: I had focused too much on shipping and moved away from the original problem I wanted to solve.

Why I built Gitog

I created Gitog because I experienced this problem myself.

When recruiters asked for my portfolio, I often had nothing ready, or I had to send my GitHub profile and multiple project links one by one.

It worked, but it wasn’t the best way to present my work.

What changed

So I spent the last week rebuilding Gitog around this core idea:

Helping developers create a clean portfolio from their GitHub projects in minutes.

Based on the feedback I received, I redesigned the interface, improved the user experience, and fixed many things that were missing.

What’s next

Gitog will never be perfect and it won’t fit everyone, but the goal is simple:

Help developers quickly showcase their work.

Thanks again to everyone who shared feedback. Building alone makes it easy to miss things, and your suggestions helped shape the product.

I’ll keep improving it step by step.

Private repository support is also on my roadmap.
