A research and intelligence interface for monitoring people, repositories, and signals—ideal for hiring, sourcing, and portfolio analysis at speed.

Inside the project
Implementation
React and TypeScript provide the interface, with TanStack Query managing remote data and local storage retaining watchlists and search history. Dedicated components cover activity, repositories, organizations, followers, comparisons, and language charts.
The workflow
- Search for a GitHub user
- Explore repositories, activity, and connections
- Compare profiles and keep a watchlist
Scope & status
The repository calls the app GitBook; this project is described as GitHub Profile Explorer to avoid confusion with the documentation service. GitHub API limits still apply. The linked demo has not been functionally audited in this pass.
