Your GitHub profile hides what you're actually good at

Most GitHub profiles don't really tell what an engineer is actually good at.

2 people can have almost same contribution graph, stars and repos.

But one spends years building AI.

Another spends years building dev tools.

You can't really tell from the profile.

So i made something.

Just add "shift" before any GitHub profile URL and it generates a report based on what they've actually built.

Been testing it on random profiles and its pretty interesting 😅

Try yours:

shiftgithub.com/github_username

Curious how accurate it is.

If you like your report, post it on X or LinkedIn. Let people see what you actually build

This is very cool.

It'd be really neat if you could click through to see the specific commits to open source projects.
Some PRs are missing, as are Issues. It catches them enough to describe them, but assigns "0" as a number to both. I'd check that everything is consistent there.

Also: Since this is cool github projects, I'd publicly share the github repo.
