SlopScore – Contributor Reputation for GitHub PRs

Open source maintainers are drowning in low effort PRs. Someone sees a help wanted issue, pastes it into an AI, submits without testing, loops through review comments without understanding the code. The PR looks plausible at first glance but falls apart under review. Maintainers waste 30 minutes before realizing it's garbage. This is happening at scale now. And it's worst in projects with bounty programs or GSoC where there's incentive to “contribute.” GitHub tells you if someone is a first-time contributor to your repo. It doesn't tell you anything about their history elsewhere. I built a…

What it does

Cross-repo contributor reputation for GitHub PRs. Contribute to hanzili/slopscore development by creating an account on GitHub.

A Chrome extension that helps maintainers instantly assess PR authors by analyzing their contribution history across all of GitHub. GitHub only tells you if someone is a "first-time contributor" to your repo. It doesn't tell you if they have a history of rejected PRs, spam contributions, or suspicious patterns elsewhere. SlopScore fills that gap by showing a reputation badge right next to the PR author's name. Setup : Click the extension icon, add a GitHub token with public_repofrom github.com

    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!

    I built this in 2018 as a school project to bulk delete GitHub repos. It got 25k views on Medium and ~10k users organically, then I basically ignored it for years. Recently I dug into GitHub's community discussion board and some low hanging fruit for feature additions — archive, visibility changes, collaborator cleanup. GitHub's answer was always "use the API." So I built the UI. RepoSweeper now does: - Bulk archive / unarchive - Bulk visibility (public ↔ private) - Bulk collaborator add/remove - Staleness scoring so you know what to act on first - Handles 100+ repos with…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
