As a product manager at a tech company, hiring good developers was a recurring challenge I faced, and the existing job portals didn't really help. I realized the GitHub community was a goldmine for tech talent, but figuring out who was actually good was a challenge. GitHub's advanced search tool turned out to be super powerful, but it was tricky for non-tech-savvy recruiters to use and understand the profiles. So, I created a tool to make the search process easier and pull out the key info needed to find and evaluate potential hires.

@arjunm8 This is a great idea, and I agree with @codename_one that its the amount of code, I would also look at a way to validate that code (downloads and followers as well) Congrats on the launch 🙌🏼🌟

Glad you found it interesting @saascoach ! and yeah I think it'll definitely have to be a combination of these, thanks for the feedback :)

@arjunm8 I like the idea (upvoted) but why look by followers and not by amount of code? A person who has many followers is more socially savvy and probably expensive. OTOH a person who wrote a lot of code but has fewer followers is the type of person most companies are looking for.

@codename_one Thanks for the upvote and feedback! that's an interesting idea, my initial hypothesis was that more code may not imply good code, but having followers/stars/forks would validate the quality of the code. I think you're right on the social being an aspect driver on the followers metric though, so I'll try to include alternative metrics in there like stars or forks.
