Show HN: Generate a CV-style history for open-source contributors on GitHub

by mintone on 8/1/23, 2:09 PM with 15 comments

Hi HN! We launched Ringer last year and have been working hard on new features to support creators in Open Source. Today we're launching the Open Source CV. This is your complete history of contributions from GitHub in an easily shareable format.

The example linked is for Dan Harrin (@danharrin), one of the creators and maintainers of https://filamentphp.com. Dan and the team at Filament have been supporters and early experts on Ringer since day 1, and incidentally have just launched Filament v3 today!

You can generate your own on the site.

We're also making the code for the CV open source so that you can self-host: https://github.com/ringerhq/open_source_cv

Always happy to hear thoughts and suggestions!

    FYI I checked it out last time it was posted to HN, and they felt like that was sufficient invitation to send me updates via email. With no unsubscribe link.

    Log in at your own peril, the OAuth is not there to grab your (public) GitHub data, it's to grow their mailing list.

    Signup process doesn’t work on mobile. I get stuck here:

    > Press <Y> (Yes) or <N> (No)

    Keyboard shortcuts are an enhancement and should not be the only way to navigate.

    Looks cool! However, I'm not the biggest fan on quantifying impact just by number of PRs. Maybe something that adds the most relevant issues solved using some heuristic and conversion to bullet style CV achievements would be really cool! (maybe using some LLM now that they're trendy :p)
