I'm curious which parts of the tool are similar to these, which look related to security.
My app was built to visually explore repositories from different angles

Would be nice if there was a way to aggregate all the projects people have had for augmenting GitHub data

Nice angle on repo trends. For the CI side of the same picture, Buddy's test analytics track flaky and slow tests over time, which pairs well with a repo view like this.

I really like the idea of showing dormant areas of a project but also using git history to identify areas which are changed together. This could be useful for AI agents or understanding health of larger mono repos.
What is the most surprising thing you have seen in the data? Who would be buying/using this?

I think the related files could be useful for ai agents. I recently wrote a CLI that an agent can pass in files and get back additional ones. Don't have enough data to see if it has materially changed performance i.e. finding extra files that it would have missed
On the trends page, for some repos, you can see that the velocity hasn't materially went up, at least as a function of merged PRs (not that it is the only unit of value). But if you look at posthog, they seem to be crushing it and have a significant jump in merged PRs in the last few months

Really cool project. I like how much data is available through the Trends page and think there's potential to draw more insight beyond just effects of using AI

Awesome idea!

I can't seem to edit the link, but the URL should be https://devthropology.com/demo
@dang do you know if got changed or if you can help changing this back?

Our software follows redirects and it looks like we got a 302 to /app. I've changed the URL at the top now.
This is a little bit reinventing the wheel.
