Hey developers! I'm super excited to share Gitgenix, a side-project turned dev-art tool where you draw, and GitHub displays.
💡 What is Gitgenix?
A smart GitHub contribution graph generator that lets you:
- 🖌️ Draw your own pattern on a canvas
- 📅 Generate .sh scripts to reflect that pattern on your contribution calendar
- 🔄 Support multiple years of contributions (hello, legacy artists!)
- 💾 Save & load designs as JSON patterns
- 🔗 Share your creations via unique links
- ☁️ Store everything online with Firebase
- 🎨 And all of it wrapped in a beautiful UI/UX that’s smooth, modern, and fun
🛠️ Built With:
- Next.js (App Router)
- Firebase for real-time storage
- TailwindCSS + Framer Motion for pixel-perfect UX
- A mix of custom hooks and smart time logic
🎯 Why I Built It?
Because... ➡️ I wanted to turn GitHub graphs into art ➡️ I love seeing utility + creativity combine ➡️ And let’s be honest: writing your name or drawing a smiley face in contributions? Peak dev flex.

Try it out. Make something wild. Maybe a cat? Your initials? A timeline of heartbreaks? (I don’t judge.)
🚀 Open to feedback, collaborations, or just a friendly “this is cool”!
