Description
I wanted a way to quickly see what's going on in an open source project without clicking through 10 GitHub tabs. Contributors, languages, commit activity, community health, recent PRs - all scattered across different pages.GitShow now generates a showroom page for any public repo. Just visit gitshow.dev/owner/repo.Try a few: gitshow.dev/facebook/react gitshow.dev/vercel/next.js gitshow.dev/solidjs/solid gitshow.dev/ofershap/mcp-server-devutils Each page shows:- Top contributors with accurate total count. GitHub's API returns max 30 per page, so I use the Link header pagination trick (request per_page=1, read the last page number) to get the real number. facebook/react shows ~2,000 contributors, not 30.- Language breakdown as a visual bar and weekly commit sparkline from the participation stats API.- Community health score: does the repo have a README, license, contributing guide, code of conduct, issue/PR templates? Pulled from GitHub's community profile endpoint.- Recent open PRs and recently merged fixes. Bot authors (dependabot, renovate, etc.) are filtered out. Markdown and HTML in body snippets are stripped to plain text.- Quick actions inside the hero card: Star on GitHub, Fork, Clone (copies the git clone command), and an npm link for JS/TS repos.- Breadcrumb navigation: GitShow / owner / repo.Every page includes Schema.org SoftwareSourceCode structured data and a BreadcrumbList, so it surfaces in AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI).There's also a structured data block at the bottom of each page specifically for LLM agents scraping the web - key stats in a machine-readable format.Stack: Next.js with 1-hour ISR, all data from GitHub REST API, zero client JS except two small interactive bits (clone-to-clipboard and scroll-to-top). Tailwind, Vercel.No signup, no AI processing, no paywall. MIT licensed.Source: https://github.com/ofershap/gitshow

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
