towow-progress 0.1.0

AI-native development progress dashboard — turn your git history into a beautiful narrative page.

towow-progress

Turn your git history into a beautiful, artistic progress page. Not a boring dashboard — a narrative that tells your project's story.

Quick Start

pip install towow-progress
cd your-repo
towow-progress init        # auto-detect modules, create config
towow-progress generate    # build docs/progress.html
open docs/progress.html    # done!

Let Your AI Set It Up

Paste this to Claude, ChatGPT, or any coding AI:

Install towow-progress, run towow-progress init on this repo, then customize .towow-progress.json — set a good title, subtitle, and adjust module names to be human-readable. Then run towow-progress generate and open the result.

Your AI will analyze your repo structure and configure everything.

What You Get

• Hero section — total commits, lines changed, active days, longest streak
• Live indicator — latest commit with relative time ("3m ago")
• Scrollable timeline — daily commit activity with peak highlights
• Module trends — stacked area chart showing strategic focus shifts
• Distribution — horizontal bar chart of code by module
• Weekly velocity — line chart with acceleration/deceleration analysis
• Changelog — expandable recent commits with type badges, file counts, diffs

Single self-contained HTML file. Works offline. Deploy anywhere.

Auto-Update with GitHub Actions

towow-progress setup-ci

This creates .github/workflows/towow-progress.yml. On every push to main, it regenerates and commits the HTML.

Deploy to GitHub Pages:

1. Run towow-progress setup-ci
2. Go to repo Settings → Pages → Source: Deploy from a branch → Branch: main, folder: /docs
3. Push. Your progress page is live at https://username.github.io/repo/progress.html

How It Works

1. Scans git history — git log --numstat to get per-file additions/deletions
2. Classifies files — maps file paths to modules using your config
3. Computes analytics — daily/weekly/monthly aggregations, velocity, streaks
4. Renders HTML — single file with inline CSS + Chart.js from CDN

No database. No server. No API keys. Just git + Python.
