🎯 Problem

Developers spend hours creating beautiful README files but have no idea if anyone reads them or which sections engage users. GitHub provides repo stats but nothing about README engagement. This makes it hard to know if your documentation is effective or where to improve it.

💡 Solution

A simple Chrome extension that tracks README scrolling behavior and section engagement. Shows heatmaps of where users spend time, which links they click, and drop-off points. Helps maintainers optimize their documentation based on real usage data. Privacy-focused, anonymous analytics.

👥 Target market

Open source maintainers, developer tool companies, and anyone serious about their GitHub presence (5M+ active repo owners)

Similar to X but with a better angle. Nice!
