GitShow adds project context to GitHub profiles

I built GitShow, an open source tool that gives GitHub profiles a visual upgrade. Replace github.com with gitshow.dev in any profile URL:

github.com/ofershap → 1

GitShow adds information that GitHub does not display:

• npm download stats across all your packages
• Projects automatically grouped into categories such as MCP Servers, CLI Tools, React & UI, and DevOps
• Tech stack visualization, focus areas, and a project creation timeline
• One-click share buttons

GitHub shows a flat list of repositories. GitShow tells the story of what you actually build.

The same URL pattern works for both individuals and organizations: gitshow.dev/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME.

• Sindre Sorhus: 90 projects and 43B npm downloads/month
• Vercel: organization profiles work too
• Linus Torvalds: 6 repos and 225k stars
• Wes Bos: 478k npm downloads/month

GitShow is fully open source.
