GitHub + DEV 2023 Hackathon: Best GitHub

What I built

I built a web app with the parallax effect to be able to compete with other GitHub users with a points system based on the sum of the user's repos and the number of followers on GitHub.

Description

Best GitHub is a web app where the user, by typing his GitHub username in the form, using the GitHub public api, can appear in the ranking of the first places to be able to compete against other users.

Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)

I was inspired by the hackathon, since I wanted several users to have fun competing to see who had the most points.

How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)

I built everything directly with GitHub Codespaces and have been using them for several months from a Raspberry Pi 3B+.

hey this seems like a really nice idea, but I’m unable to test it since it’s not responsive.

Thank you very much about the feedback, it is not responsive because if I adapt it to mobile devices the letters of the Username in the trophies are very difficult to read
