I'm Cade Russell, and today I'm launching BashStats on Product Hunt.
BashStats started as a personal project. I was deep into Claude Code — running sessions every day, burning through tokens, building entire features in single sittings — and I had no idea what my actual usage looked like. No session counts, no streak data, no sense of whether I was coding more this week than last. So I built something to track it.
That side project turned into what BashStats is today: an open-source stat tracker for AI coding agents with 124+ achievements, an XP rank system, daily streaks, a global leaderboard, and hosted profiles you can share with anyone.
What's Next
The launch is just the starting line. Here's where BashStats is headed:
- More achievements — we're planning to expand well beyond 124 badges. New categories for collaboration, code review patterns, multi-agent workflows, and community-driven challenges.
- Weekly and monthly goals — configurable targets that help you build a consistent AI coding habit instead of just tracking what already happened.
- Community features — team leaderboards, shared challenges, and ways to see how other developers are using their agents. AI coding doesn't have to be a solo activity.
- Deeper agent insights — more granular breakdowns of how you use different agents, what kinds of tasks you run, and where your time actually goes.
The bigger vision is to build a community around AI coding itself. Right now, most developers use these tools alone. There's no shared sense of how other people work with agents, no benchmarks, no way to learn from each other's patterns. BashStats is the foundation for changing that — starting with stats, then layering in the social and collaborative features that make it useful beyond your own terminal.
About Me
I'm Cade, the founder of Ghost Peony LLC. My background is in product management — years of shipping features and figuring out what developers actually need versus what sounds cool in a pitch deck.
BashStats came from that same instinct: I wasn't looking for a product idea, I was just annoyed that I couldn't see my own usage data. The achievements system came next (everything is better with badges), then hosted profiles and the leaderboard as more people asked to compare stats. It grew from a personal utility into something I think a lot of AI-first developers will find useful.
If you have ideas for achievements, features, or community stuff you'd want to see, I'd genuinely love to hear from you — cade@ghostpeony.com, LinkedIn, or GitHub.
