Show HN: CodeTrackr – open-source WakaTime alternative with real-time stats

2 points by livrasand 5 hours ago

Hi HN! I built CodeTrackr, an open-source, privacy-first alternative to WakaTime.

It tracks coding activity and provides real-time analytics, global leaderboards, and a plugin system. The goal is to give developers useful productivity insights while keeping full ownership of their data.

Key features: - WakaTime-compatible API (works with existing editor extensions) - Real-time dashboard using WebSockets - Global and language leaderboards - Self-hostable (Docker included) - Plugin system using JavaScript snippets - GitHub and GitLab login

Stack: Rust + Axum + PostgreSQL + Redis + Vanilla JS

Repository: https://github.com/livrasand/CodeTrackr

I would really appreciate feedback, especially regarding: - security - architecture - potential areas for improvement

If you're interested, you're also welcome to build plugins for the plugin store or create IDE extensions for your favorite editors.

Thanks for taking a look!
