A developer-focused productivity engine that connects your WordPress dashboard to your engineering workflow via GitHub or Cloud API.

Description

Daily Dev Habit is a WordPress plugin designed to solve the "documentation friction" problem. It replaces the blank page with a guided workflow, helping developers, creators, and engineers document their progress, blockers, and wins without breaking flow.

New in 1.1.0: Two Ways to Save

  1. GitHub Mode (Self-Hosted): The plugin commits your log entries directly to a private GitHub repository of your choice. You own your data 100%.
  2. Cloud Mode (Managed): Connects to the Daily Dev Habit Cloud API for centralized storage and future analytics/dashboards.

Key Features

  • Guided Prompting: A structured interface (Scope, Summary, Blockers) that reduces cognitive load.
  • Save to GitHub: Automatically creates a Markdown file in your repo for every entry.
  • Save to Cloud: A built-in connector for the DDH Cloud ecosystem.
  • Distraction-Free UI: Built to feel like a native part of your engineering toolset.

The Ecosystem

This plugin is part of the Daily Dev Habit suite, which includes:

  • The WP Plugin: An Admin form for Daily Standup.
  • The CLI Tool: A terminal command (ddh log) for quick engineering updates right from your code editor.

Installation

  1. Upload the daily-devhabit folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to Daily Dev Log in the admin menu.
  4. Configure your Connection:
    • Go to the Journal Settings submenu.
    • Select Mode: "GitHub" or "DDH Cloud".
    • For GitHub: Enter your Username, Repo Name, and a Personal Access Token (PAT).
    • For Cloud: Enter your account JWT (available via the CLI).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an API key required? Yes, but you have options. For "GitHub Mode," you use a standard GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT). For "Cloud Mode," you use your DDH account token.

Where is the data stored?

  • GitHub Mode: In your own private repository as .md files.
  • Cloud Mode: Encrypted in the Daily Dev Habit database.
  • Note: The plugin does not store logs in your WordPress database to keep your site lightweight.

Screenshots

  1. The Journal Interface: Clean prompts to help you document your work.
  2. Settings Panel: Easily toggle between GitHub and Cloud storage.
