Hi HN,
I built WinLog because I kept seeing good engineers undersell themselves during reviews and promotions. Not because they weren’t doing great work, but because they simply forgot what they’d shipped over time.
WinLog helps you capture your "wins" as you go:
- You can log wins manually in a few seconds, or
- Passively capture candidates from Slack channels you choose (nothing is stored without approval)
Each win is rewritten into a concise, professional bullet you can use for:
- Performance reviews
- 1:1 prep
- Promotion packets
- Brag docs / weekly updates
It’s early, but I’ve been using it as my own tool and found it to be very helpful!
Would love feedback, especially from people who’ve struggled with review season or managing reports.
