I'm a Chill Guy: AI-Powered GitHub Profile Roaster

Overview

"I'm a chill guy" is a fun AI-powered web application that analyzes GitHub profiles and delivers witty, humorous roasts based on users' coding habits, project choices, contribution patterns, and profile information. Built with React and powered by Google's Gemini AI, this project combines humor with technical analysis to create an entertaining developer experience.

How It Works

• Simple Input: Users enter their GitHub username
• Profile Analysis: App fetches comprehensive GitHub data via GitHub API
• AI Processing: Gemini AI analyzes the data and generates personalized roasts
• Instant Results: Users receive humorous commentary about their coding journey
• Shareable Content: Roasts can be easily shared with friends and colleagues

What Gets Analyzed

Profile Information

• Bio & Description: Personal information and self-descriptions
• Profile Picture: Avatar choices and profile aesthetics
• Location & Links: Geographic info and social links
• Account Age: How long they've been on GitHub

Contribution Patterns

• Commit Frequency: Daily, weekly, and monthly contribution patterns
• Contribution Graph: The famous green squares analysis
• Streak Analysis: Longest streaks and gaps in activity
• Weekend vs Weekday: Work-life balance in coding

Repository Analysis

• Project Types: Languages, frameworks, and project categories
• Repository Names: Creative (or not so creative) naming conventions
• README Quality: Documentation standards and project descriptions
• Star Counts: Popularity of projects and social proof

Coding Habits

• Language Preferences: Most used programming languages
• Framework Choices: Technology stack preferences
• Project Completion: Finished vs abandoned projects
• Code Quality Indicators: Repository maintenance and updates

Behind the Scenes

This project taught me that sometimes the best projects are the simplest ones that solve a fun problem. The combination of real data analysis with AI creativity resulted in something that developers genuinely enjoyed using and sharing. It also demonstrated the power of combining multiple APIs to create unique user experiences.

The "chill guy" was a instagram trend, so i thought why not build a website for it.
