Show HN: GitShow Repo Showroom – a landing page for any GitHub repo
2 points by ofershap 3 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
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.

That's cool, it would be more awesome if you could add in some way to detect repos that buy stars and use bots or fake accounts to indicate the community health with warnings and some more data around that
