Inspiration

We see GitHub Users with more than 500 projects and there were more than 100/200/1000 open issues in each of them. So we think that a platform which helps them to organize the issues and see new ones will be great. Not only for them but also for open source Contributors, who want to contribute to big repositories.

What it does

StalkGit is a web app that uses GitHub API to fetch user data from the GitHub database and display a user's information including the number of public repositories and other data on the user.

How we built it

We built the application using React and React-Redux toolkit. The main ingredient to our project would definitely be the GitHub API

Challenges we ran into

Deployment of the application was definitely one of the biggest challenges we faced.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

For now, our demo application contains a single-page website where it is possible to simply find the user's information on Github and all of the user's repositories.

What we learned

We learned to use can-merge as a part of our development process.

What's next for StalkGit

As we mentioned, Our purpose is to make an Open-Source developer's life easier. So, on our website besides the current features, we are going to add open issues management system. It will be possible to find a User with some tags (like Language, Datetime, University, Organization, stars, etc). Open-source developers can find all of the open issues on his/her profile or an organization's page with some filtered options (most common DateTime option). So, it will be possible to easily check all of the new issues.
