I got the ick from guessing, so I built GitHub Compass — a tool that shows you what developers actually built.
Enter a GitHub username → Get the real stats.
✅ Original Repos vs. Forks — See what they built vs. what they cloned
✅ Real Language Usage — Based only on their original projects
✅ Key Metrics — Stars, PRs, gists, and actual activity
No fluff. Just signal.
The Problem: Recruiters waste time trying to figure out if a GitHub profile is legit or just for show.
The Solution: GitHub Compass filters out the noise and shows you what matters.
The Flex: Built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and GitHub API — the same tech stack you're hiring for 💅
