At $JOB I recently implemented a weekly email report that contained high-level business and operations metrics. Though a lot of us use live metric dashboards, there is still a lot of value in periodic email (or Slack) summaries: they cut through noise, can illuminate wider trends, and crucially are easy to share. I was a bit surprised there wasn't a tool out there aimed at devs like me, so I made one. I've used it to create internal operations reports for myself, to monitor overall trends in a cluster's health, but also to summarize key business metrics for my higher-ups.
There are lots of extensions I have in mind for this, for example adding agile summary views that hook in to Jira and GitHub, a PagerDuty integration (at $PRIOR_JOB, my boss hacked together his own Slack report that summarized all the paging incidents over the last day, so the entire team can see what the on-call eng was dealing with), and other commonly-used services.

What other capabilities/features would the HN community find useful? I'm very interested to know.
