Introducing StoryTell: Turn Your Code Into Compelling Content
We're excited to announce StoryTell, a new tool that helps developers share their coding journey by transforming GitHub commits into engaging social media content.
As developers, we spend countless hours building amazing things. We solve complex problems, ship features, and push code daily. But when it comes to sharing our work with the world, we often struggle. Writing about what we've built feels like a completely different skill set.
That's why we built StoryTell — a tool that bridges the gap between coding and content creation by turning your GitHub commits into engaging social media posts and blog articles.
The Problem We're Solving
Developers are notoriously bad at self-promotion. We'd rather write code than write about code. But in today's world, building in public and sharing your journey has become increasingly important for:
- Building your personal brand
- Attracting opportunities and collaborators
- Documenting your growth and achievements
- Giving back to the community
The challenge? Finding the time and inspiration to craft compelling content about your work. That's where StoryTell comes in.
How StoryTell Works
StoryTell connects to your GitHub repositories and analyzes your commits to understand what you've been working on. Our AI then suggests content ideas tailored to your work:
1. Connect Your GitHub
Sign in with GitHub and select the repositories you want StoryTell to analyze. We only read your commit messages and metadata — your code stays private.
2. Review AI-Generated Suggestions
StoryTell analyzes your commits and generates content suggestions. These aren't generic templates — they're personalized posts based on what you've actually built.
3. Refine with Your Voice
Every developer has their own style. Use our chat interface to refine the generated content until it sounds like you. Add your personality, adjust the tone, and make it yours.
4. Share Everywhere
Preview how your content will look on LinkedIn and X (Twitter) before posting. Copy with one click and share your story with the world.
What You Can Create
StoryTell helps you create various types of content:
- Short-form posts — Perfect for LinkedIn and X, these bite-sized updates highlight your achievements and learnings
- Technical deep-dives — Longer form content explaining the "why" and "how" behind your implementations
- Progress updates — Regular updates about what you're building, great for accountability and community engagement
- Milestone celebrations — Announce launches, completions, and achievements in a way that resonates
Built for Developers, by Developers
We understand the developer mindset because we are developers. StoryTell is designed to:
- Respect your time — Generate content in seconds, not hours
- Maintain authenticity — Your voice, your story, just with a helpful nudge
- Stay non-intrusive — We only access what you explicitly allow
- Support your workflow — Integrates naturally with how you already work
