Find developer signals on GitHub
GitHub is where developers build, collaborate, and discuss. CatchIntent will help you monitor discussions, issues, and mentions to find developers talking about relevant problems.
Why GitHub matters for developer tools
GitHub is the home of the developer community. Beyond code hosting, it's where developers discuss problems, request features, and share solutions — creating signals for companies serving developers.
GitHub Discussions
Many projects use Discussions for Q&A and feature requests. Developer questions reveal needs and pain points.
Issue tracking
Issues describe problems developers face. Monitor relevant projects for pain points you can solve.
README mentions
Projects mention tools in READMEs and documentation. Track your competitive landscape.
Developer identity
GitHub profiles reveal developer interests and activity. Understand your audience better.
Project dependencies
See which tools projects depend on. Track adoption and competitive positioning.
Community activity
Star counts, fork activity, and contribution patterns reveal project health and interest.
Signals we'll capture on GitHub
GitHub's technical environment produces detailed signals about developer problems, preferences, and tool adoption.
Developers asking questions in Discussions about tools, approaches, or integrations.
"What's the best way to handle authentication in this setup? Looking for recommendations."
Issues describing problems that your product could solve or improve.
"The build process is too slow. Takes 10+ minutes. Looking for ways to optimize."
Users requesting features in relevant projects. Signals market needs.
"Would be great to have a built-in way to handle rate limiting. Currently using external service."
Discussions comparing tools or asking for alternatives to current solutions.
"We're evaluating options for our CI pipeline. Anyone have experience with [Competitor]?"
Users asking for integrations with specific tools or platforms.
"Any plans to add support for [Platform]? Would really help our workflow."
Developers discussing migrating to or from specific tools.
