A weekend project to continue developing jstrieb/github-stats, focusing on readability and reliability.

The original, very popular project hasn't received a meaningful update since 2022, so I thought it was time for a refresh. Let me know what you think!

Nice fork! (I am the person who wrote the original.)

My version is still working well for me, so it's been hard to find motivation to update it. Also, I've been using my increasingly limited free time to work on some exciting new projects, rather than maintenance tasks that feel like a continuation of my day job.

All that to say I'm excited about new repos like yours that take the idea further! I also really appreciate your attention to detail calling out the differences with the original, and that you licensed your version under the GPL.

As an aside, you may want to add "Show HN" to the title. It will allow the page to show up on https://news.ycombinator.com/show

Wow, thank you! Having your approval is the best feedback I could have hoped for.

No explanation needed on focusing on new ventures. I hope those new projects are going brilliantly!

And I sincerely appreciate the "Show HN" pointer. As a first-time poster, I would have completely overlooked that. Thank you for the guidance!
