Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of data do you collect from GitHub?

We gather Git metadata, including the type of activity (such as commits and pull requests), timestamps, and author information. This data is sufficient for creating all the necessary metrics, alerts, and gamification features.

Do you support other platforms (GitLab, Bitbucket etc)?

Currently, we're primarily focused on the GitHub community, as it's our starting point. However, expanding to other Git platforms is part of our roadmap.

Who qualifies as an Active Contributor?

Any individual who is actively engaged in activities such as making commits, pull requests (PRs), or reviews within the repository, or managing the team.

What should I do if I exceed the limit of 7 Contributors on the Free Plan?

If you exceed the limit of contributors, those exceeding the limit will be disabled. To continue using the service, you'll need to upgrade to the Premium plan or disable some contributors to stay within the limit.
