🌌 Introducing GitGalaxy: Turn Your GitHub Profile Into a Living 3D Galaxy
Most GitHub profile viewers show repositories as a list.
I thought:
What if repositories were planets? What if developers had their own galaxy?
That's how GitGalaxy was born.

✨ What is GitGalaxy?
GitGalaxy is an interactive 3D platform that visualizes GitHub profiles as entire star systems.
- ⭐ GitHub Profile → Star
- 🪐 Repositories → Orbiting Planets
- 🔍 Search any GitHub username
- 🌌 Add profiles to the galaxy
- 🔗 Share your galaxy with others
- 💻 Embed it into portfolios and projects
Instead of scrolling through repositories, you can explore them in a more immersive and visual way.
🛠️ Why I Built It
Developer profiles often contain a lot of interesting work, but the experience of browsing them is usually static.
I wanted to experiment with:
- 3D web experiences
- Creative data visualization
- GitHub API integration
- Interactive portfolio concepts
The goal was to make exploring code feel more like exploring a universe.
⚡ Challenges
Some interesting challenges while building GitGalaxy:
- Converting GitHub repository data into a meaningful planetary system
- Managing 3D object positioning and movement
- Keeping performance smooth with multiple profiles loaded
- Designing a UI that feels futuristic without sacrificing usability
🔮 Future Ideas
A few features I'm considering:
- Repository activity-based planet animations
- Contribution constellations
- Team and organization galaxies
- Galaxy snapshots and exports
- More customization options

I'd love feedback from fellow developers.
If you could visualize one aspect of your coding journey as a planet, star, or galaxy feature, what would it be?
