Show HN: Self-serve GitHub Skyline (because the actual one stopped working)

I wanted to see the 3D GitHub Skyline of my contributions in the last year, but the website (skyline.github.com) had stopped working (ref: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/64942)

So I went ahead and built one using ReactJS (and ThreeJS). Check it out and let me know if you like it.

    Some items that are work in progress: 1. Ability to export it as an STL file (so that it can be printed using a 3D printer) 2. Converting the website to NextJS so that you can use it as a website directly, instead of having to clone the repository and running the server yourself. (Hosting using GitHub Pages is not working right now because as a static website, it cannot use secrets without having them hardcoded in the code. And GitHub disallows that - automatically deletes the private access token as soon as it appears in the public code).
