I Build a GitHub Worth Estimate Generator

Hellooo Developers 👋 Welcome to my another blog post .

In the fast-paced world of software development, GitHub has become the epicenter of collaboration, innovation, and code-sharing among developers worldwide.

Yesterday, i was scrolling on a twitter and i saw one tweet discussing about this project idea on making with nextjs and shadcnui.

And don't forget to Drop a "💖🦄🔥🙌🤯" .

The Project name is GitEstimate - A github worth estimate calculator. And i am Inspired by 👇

GitEstimate

Live Demo 🟢

GitEstimate is an fun innovative project hosted at https://gitestimate.vercel.app/. Code by me Md Taqui Imam, Just enter your Github username and it will fetch your data and calculate your estimated worth and you can also download it as JPEG and share it to others .

Download Result be like :

Give a Star⭐

• lodash
• cheerio
• typescript
• Zod
• Reach-hook-form.

How GitEstimate Works 🤔?

Upon visiting the GitEstimate website, users are prompted to enter their valid GitHub username. It fetch user Total Contribuitions, Total Stars got on repositories and Followers , and to generate an estimate of the GitHub profile's worth i created this function :

  function calculateGitHubWorth(
    contributions: number,
    followers: number,
    stars: number
  ) {
    // You can adjust the weights as per your preference
    const contributionWeight = 0.5;
    const followerWeight = 0.1;
    const starWeight = 0.3;

    // Calculate the estimated worth using the formula
    const estimatedWorth =
      contributions * contributionWeight +
      followers * followerWeight +
      stars * starWeight;

    return estimatedWorth.toFixed(1);
  }

I don't really understand what you mean by, "worth".

I could say that I'll use a formula like (age in weeks) + (height in bananas) + (number of credit cards) to calculate my worth in Francs, but that's just me making stuff up. "Worth" is only relevant to marketable things.

So... is there anywhere I could sell my github presence for a bit of extra cash?

[Sanjeev Sharma]

Awesome app! One suggestion, please add a reset/refresh button if I want to try another account.

[Random]

Glad to Hear that you liked it 💖 And Thank you for your suggestion 🙏

[Jonas Scholz]

Looks exactly like something that went viral a few days ago on twitter, got inspired a lot huh? twitter.com/shyam_tawli/status/173...

[Random]

Yes, i got inspired by github-worth.vercel.app/.

[wakywayne]

Are you saying he stole/copied the idea?

[Tiago Rangel]

It's probably. My account worth is almost the same using both, maybe he stole the formula using the console

[Random]

No i didn't stole his idea i inspired by her and i also tweet about this and mention her . And his github-worth.vercel.app/ Github repositories hi private so we cannot see him .

[Jonas Scholz]

Okay lol, not sure if I was too tired while reading or if he just edited the post to mention the tweet..

[Jonas Scholz]

Maybe just a weird coincidence. I think copying/getting inspired is fine if it's made clear that it is:)

[Random]

I only inspired by him but the code is written by my only not copy pasted .

[𒎏Wii 🏳️‍⚧️]

Is there a reason to present the rating as an amount in dollars, or is it just to spice things up a bit? From what I can see, the number is really just the weighted sum of some account metrics, right?

Cool project though 👍

[Oliver]

If only there was a way to cash out. I could do with the money as I can't afford next month's rent!

[Random]

Sure i will add withdraw option for you 😂

[Oliver]

Great. Booking the holiday now. 😁

[Random]

okay🤣

I appreciate the sentiment but I would caution against attributing value to green dots. It's bragging rights and I can make a lot of very harmful changes, pointless changes, and valuable changes all in the name of green dots.

Keep having great ideas though, and I love the stack you used.

[@lukeocodes 🕹👨‍💻]

Lol...

[Aziz Kaukawala]

Lol! Didn't knew I've added 11k+ commits!

Work Profile

Freelancing Profile

[Random]

Its total contributions from since you created you github account .

[Aziz Kaukawala]

Yeah. I figured out that much!
Btw, that's a cool app! 🔥

[Random]

Thank you so much Aziz 💖

[Jeongho Nam]

I should try to accomplish the $10,000.

By the way, "Save as JPEG" button is not working for me.

• Windows 11
• Microsoft Edge 120.0.2210.91

[Random]

Actually i have reached the free tier image-source-optimization limit in vercel.

Sorry for that 😥

[Best Codes]

Awesome job on the app! I love it.

Just want to point out two things:

1. The button says “Save as JPEG”, but it actually saves the file as a PNG. (Minor detail).

1. The dollar sign should be before the number, not after it. (Also a minor issue, but important for style).

Also, it seems a lot like the one here:
github-worth.vercel.app/
But being inspired (or as is likely coming up with it all by yourself!) is fine.

Otherwise, awesome job! I like yours more than the other because it gives me a higher worth. :D

[Random]

Thank you so much for your awesome feedback, Yes i got inspired by github-worth.vercel.app/ but i had not copied his code because his Github repositories is private and we cannot see him.

[Best Codes]

Of course, awesome job again!

[Thapelo Radebe]

Sad 😢
