Code Tracker AI Early Access: What I Need From Testers

I recently posted that Code Tracker AI is opening early access — and I want to clarify what that actually means.

This is feedback-driven early access, not a marketing beta. The point is to get real developer workflows running through it and tune what matters.

(Here’s the original post for context: https://dev.to/monahidalgo/code-tracker-ai-is-opening-early-access-45ha)

What I need from testers

1) Install + run one real project scan

I want to validate that the first-run experience is clean, fast, and stable on real projects.

2) Use Code Books for a week

Code Tracker AI is built to help you capture real work and keep developer-owned documentation inside the IDE. I want to know:

  • Does it replace scattered notes?
  • Does it fit naturally into your flow?
  • What feels friction-heavy?

3) Tell me what to cut

I’m optimizing for signal over noise. I’d rather ship fewer insights that are genuinely useful than flood the UI with “AI output.”

What’s already working (real, end-to-end)

Code Books panel

  • Collapsible sidebar + document management
  • Search
  • Split editor view (built like a proper IDE tool window)

Real project intelligence

  • Real Git analysis (commits, branches, contributors)
  • Real project scanning (file counts, stack detection, dependency analysis)

Auto-Notes + AI docs

  • Project overview + development timeline generated from real scans
  • Manual scan button + first-run auto-scan dialog
  • Progress UI that shows real analysis results during scan

If you do join, I’ll follow up with access + a short “what to test” checklist so you’re not guessing.

This looks like a promising tool! Excited to see how Code Tracker AI can help improve debugging and code insights. The early access approach and feedback loop with testers should really help shape it into something practical. Looking forward to trying it out! 🚀

Thank you for the kind words! 😊 The early access phase is really about building this with the community, not just for it. Code Tracker AI™ goes beyond debugging — it's a full project preservation and digital vault platform, so testers will get to explore some features they probably haven't seen before.

A little personal update — I'm the sole developer behind Code Tracker AI™, and I was hit pretty hard with the flu and had to take about a month off to recover. I'm still getting back on my feet, but I'm continuing to add beta testers and moving forward! 💪

If you'd like to be involved, please join the waitlist and I will personally email you all the details once your spot is confirmed. Can't wait to have you on board! 🚀Stay in touch with me🤩
