Show HN: ShipMate- Find the 3 tech-debt fixes that will unblock feature
TL;DR: I’m validating an idea — a short visual demo (20–30s GIF + 1-page report) that surfaces the top 1–3 tech-debt hotspots, suggests tiny test-covered fixes, and shows PM-facing hours-saved metrics.

Context: I keep hearing devs say they spend more time on tech-debt, flaky tests, broken onboarding and tooling than shipping features. That kills velocity and morale.

Quick sanity check for real devs: 1) What wastes most of your time day-to-day? 2) Is tech-debt/tooling friction the big problem, or something else? 3) If you could fix one thing in your workflow, what would it be?

I’m not selling anything — just collecting real input and inviting a tiny alpha batch. Reply *“alpha”* or paste a public repo link and I’ll run the visual demo (no code access) and DM the 20s GIF + 1-page result. — Saurabh.
