Could you build this?
Yes This client-side web application fetches a user's GitHub starred repos via GitHub's REST API, generates text embeddings using an in-browser model (e.g. Transformers.js) or lightweight API, and computes cosine similarity against precomputed vectors.
Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Scalene Python profiler
Concerns raised: Inaccurate recommendations - suggests irrelevant projects user never worked with, Load failures and errors - "Error: Load failed", "Repository not found" for existing repos, Only processes most recent 500 stars, excluding users with larger star counts, Sparse star data limits signal - no negative feedback or "didn't star" information, Recommendations show already-seen projects user disliked
Feature requests: Support for users with 1000+ starred projects, Handle deleted or archived repositories gracefully

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a analytics & bi tool for Legal yet.
