Darthmortem: paste your Slack chaos, get a postmortem draft in 60s

The worst part of an outage isn't the fix. It's the hour of report-writing afterwards when you're already exhausted.

So I built Darthmortem — paste your raw timeline (Slack messages, logs, notes) and get a structured postmortem draft: summary, timeline table, 3 root-cause hypotheses, impact, action items. As markdown you can drop straight into Notion/Confluence.

Why I built it this way:

  • No signup, no backend — runs entirely in your browser. Nothing uploaded. I don't want your incident data either.
  • Handles both 14:02 - event and 14:02 | event | source formats
  • Auto-calculates detection gap (impact → detection) — usually the most useful number nobody bothers with

It's free. Try it with your last incident (or a sanitized timeline) and tell me:

What's missing from the draft that your team actually needs in a postmortem?

Roast me. I want to make this actually useful.
