Hi HN, I've always wondered how to transform public GitHub profile data into something more tangible and understandable at a glance like follower locations. So I decided to build a web tool using D3. I chose React for rendering, built a custom TypeScript geocoder to map raw user locations to ISO country codes, and let D3 handle the map projection and svg generation.

how do you categorize 'super' and just vibecoded x'D

This looks like they just accepted the first thing Claude gave them.

No signup or anything like this needed, and the Personal Access Token is optional, you just put any github user name and lunch it.

It's open source and you can check the code here : https://github.com/ThierryRakotomanana/Github-Audience-Atlas

we saw your test

You're right, it's under the pressure that we progress the most. For once, I stepped out of my comfort zone and chatted with strangers more than ever before. x'D

Btw What's your project ?

I Just follow those I consider as among of the best in my field, I skipped everything that smells too much marketing and I avoid things like "X thing is dead..".

Thanks for pointing this, will keep that in mind.

Also thanks, as just by your comment I've discovered that there is a way to format comments :) https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

I also thought that, but actually if you take a look. He take time to share real feedback. I think, that deserves to be shown, as many many projects didn't received any feedback and getting just one makes you feel better and motivate

Great, he can provide that feedback on the monthly thread, too. Make that thread better, don't noise up the whole site.

Good idea, I will try to help him for that

You describe in few sentenses perfectly what happens now. Need some time to accept the actual situation, the shift hits too hard though
