Unlike WIP or Makerlog built for indie hackers, THE RepoDiary is built for engineering students during placement season. The key difference: logs commit directly into your actual GitHub repo not a side repo so green squares appear on your real contribution graph. Your public profile (therepodiary.com/yourname) becomes your resume link. 30 seconds to post. Phone-friendly. No editor, no bloat.
Hey PH 👋 I'm Aditya, a final-year engineering student from NIT Patna.
I built The RepoDiary because I had the same problem every engineering student has I was building things every day but my GitHub looked dead. Recruiters see an empty contribution graph and assume you're not working. The real issue is nobody documents what they're building as they build it.
The RepoDiary solves this with zero friction. Three fields. 30 seconds. Your log gets committed directly into your actual GitHub repo not a fake side repo so the green square shows up on your real profile.
The feature I'm most proud of: when you post a log, you select which of your own repos the commit goes into. Public repos show a clickable link so other developers can discover and contribute to your project. Private repos show a 🔒 badge — visible proof you contributed, without exposing the code.
Would love your feedback — especially from students and early-career devs. What would make this a tool you'd actually use every day?
