GitHub Rater is a web application that analyzes a GitHub user’s public profile and computes a composite “rating” or score based on various activity indicators fetched from the GitHub API. It’s designed to help developers assess and improve the quality and completeness of their GitHub presence by highlighting strengths and weaknesses such as follower count, repository descriptions, star counts, and bio information. Users can search for any public GitHub user and receive a breakdown of scores for different aspects of a profile along with suggestions on what improvements could make the profile more effective and appealing. The application’s frontend is built with modern web frameworks and interacts with GitHub’s API to gather real-time data, handling errors and edge cases gracefully. Its interface visualizes metrics and recommendations, making the assessment accessible even to those unfamiliar with raw GitHub statistics.
