    GitHired▲360

    Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

    I've always wanted a better way to explore the authorship data embedded in a Git commit log. I'm having fun building a CLI tool to do this. It's a bit like the "Contributors" tab on Github that shows you how many commits each contributor has made but much faster and with many more options. If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions. Thank you!

    git-lrc▲300

    Hi HN, I'm the author of git-lrc, would appreciate some feedback from the community Last year my team started using AI coding tools more heavily, and we found ourselves generating tons of code, but spending less time looking at the stuff that's been generated. We felt like we were losing a bit of grip/understanding of what we were building. Regressions occasionally slipped through. Sometimes changes made it all the way to production only to be reverted later. We tried several AI code review tools, but most operate at PR time. That felt too late. I wanted review to happen while the…

    Hey HN After years working in software engineering and helping with hiring, I noticed a frustrating pattern: Companies often rely on résumés and LinkedIn titles to find developers instead of looking at what they've actually built. So I built GitMatcher. It analyzes GitHub profiles to surface developers based on: Their public repos Commit history Originality and usefulness of code Patterns that show consistency and real skill No keywords. No job titles. Just code. GitMatcher is useful if you're: - A recruiter tired of resume roulette - A founder looking for a technical co-founder - An OSS…

    Since everyone seems to be making a github application, I thought I'd share mine. It's an aggregated view of all of a given person's github projects, as well as easyish lookups for linkedin/stackoverflow/hackernews. It attempts to determine both productivity (how much code did this person write?) as well as impact (did anyone care?) I'd love any feedback, but go easy on the number of simultaneous searches as I'm trying to play nice by github's api limits. check it -- http://www.gitalytics.com

    Hey HN, I posted GitClassic here 2 months ago- since then I've rebuilt most of it based on what people asked for. https://gitclassic.com What's new: Issues, PRs w/ full diffs, repo intelligence (health scores, dependency graphs), trending/explore, bookmarks, comparison tool, and advanced search. Every page is server-rendered HTML- No React, no SPA, no client bundle, pages under 14KB(gzipped). Try loading facebook/react and compare it to GitHub load times. Public repos work without an account, Pro adds private repo access via GitHub OAuth. Stack: Hono on Lambda,…

    GitCruiter analyzes public GitHub data to estimate a developer’s technical level and habits. Each profile generates a detailed report with metrics like Algorithmic Thinking, Code Quality, Project Organization, Testing Practices, Documentation, and Problem Solving, plus an overall score (e.g., Senior 80/100). You can browse developers by region, language, or framework — for example, “Python devs in Canada” or “React engineers in Eastern Europe.” We built it to make developer evaluation more transparent — no résumés, no mystery algorithms, just interpretable metrics from real repos and…
