All—
Lazy Sundays are for fun vibe coding, and this particular weekend, I decided to play around with the GitHub API. Ended up building this little app: GitHub Detective.
It fetches the latest activity of a user, but in a nice way—you can filter by categories like PRs, issues, comments, etc., and easily navigate to them.
You can also generate a sarcastic analysis of the user based on their activity, then download and share it with friends. :)
Are you using the Events API? https://docs.github.com/rest/activity/events?apiVersion=2022...
I felt a sense of familiarity because I’ve also built a tool using the Events API: https://github.com/masutaka/github-nippou
If your GitHub repository is public, I’d love to check it out—I’ll give it a star!
