🚀 Introducing RepoReaper – Delete Multiple GitHub Repos in One Go

Kanak — Sun, 03 Aug 2025 19:12:51 +0000

Hey devs! 👋

I recently built a small utility app called RepoReaper to solve a problem I think many of us run into:

How do you delete multiple GitHub repositories quickly?

Turns out, GitHub doesn’t make it easy.

You have to open each repo → go to Settings → scroll down → type the repo name → click delete.

Then repeat… for every repo. 🫠

So I built RepoReaper — a simple tool to:

✅ Log in with GitHub

✅ See all your personal/public repos

✅ Select multiple repos

✅ Delete them in one click

🛠️ Tech Stack

Frontend: React + TailwindCSS
Backend: Node.js + Express
Auth: GitHub OAuth
Deployment: Render (for both frontend and backend)

Everything’s open source and built with privacy in mind — we don’t store your data or access anything you don’t explicitly allow.

🔗 Try it out

👉 https://reporeaper-frontend.onrender.com

(Tip: Use it on test or dummy repos first if you want to try it safely!)

🧠 Why I Built It

This started out of pure frustration.

I was doing a cleanup of old projects and realized there was no fast way to delete several repos at once. That manual process just didn’t scale.

It also gave me the chance to:

Learn GitHub OAuth integration
Build a full-stack app with a real-world use case
Solve a problem I actually had

💬 Feedback? Bugs? Ideas?

I’d love to hear what you think!

Whether it’s UX suggestions, security improvements, or feature requests — I’m all ears.

Feel free to fork, star, open an issue, or just comment below. 😄

Thanks for reading, and happy repo reaping!

Never Miss a Deadline: Automated CFP Tracker with Runner H + Google Suite

Kanak — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 18:22:23 +0000

What I Built
I built an AI-powered CFP (Call for Papers) Tracker using Runner H. It automatically creates and manages a system to track conference submission deadlines for researchers and academics.

⚡ Problem it solves:
Manually tracking CFP deadlines is tedious and prone to errors. Researchers often miss submission deadlines because dates are scattered across emails, websites, and spreadsheets. My solution automates:
✅ Creating + populating a Google Sheet tracker
✅ Highlighting approaching deadlines
✅ Creating Google Calendar reminders
✅ Drafting email alerts
✅ Summarizing all upcoming CFPs in a Google Doc

Demo

How I Used Runner H
📌 I wrote a detailed Runner H prompt to:

Create a Google Sheet titled CFP Tracker with columns: Conference Name, Link, Deadline, Location, Topic, Status.

Add example data for NeurIPS, ACL, and CVPR.

Automatically highlight deadlines within 30 days.

Create Google Calendar events for each upcoming deadline.

Generate a Google Doc with a summary of deadlines.

Draft Gmail messages notifying of the upcoming deadlines.

Return a final summary with links to the Sheet, Doc, and details of the actions performed.

👉 Others can replicate by simply running the same prompt on Runner H + connecting Google tools (Sheets, Calendar, Gmail, Docs).

Use Case & Impact
🎯 Who benefits:

Academics, PhD students, researchers

Conference organizers who want internal deadline tracking

Teams managing multiple paper submissions

🚀 Impact:
This agent saves hours of manual admin work, ensures no deadline is missed, and creates a centralized system that can be easily shared or updated.

✅ Thanks to Runner H and DEV for this opportunity!
